A fun way to develop confidence in the waltz idiom with a ‘lifted bow/long bow’ pattern that can be learned playing scales. There is some use of ‘low’ 2nd finger.
A beautiful melody (and lovely accompaniment ) to help develop a singing tone and with the potential to introduce speed changes (ritenuto) and a wide dynamic range. Requires some use of ‘low’ 2nd finger. Would suit a pupil who is developing fast musically. Also published by Faber in First Repertoire for Violin.
Good for producing confident playing of a simple mainly crotchet based melody in D major. Optional 4th fingers can be added.
A beautiful melody from The Sound of Music to develop a singing tone and the ability to play confidently in 3/4. It has a lilting waltz-like accompaniment.
Grade 1 for upper strings but grade 2 for the double bass.
Good for practising slurring within a 3 /4 time signature and for working on producing some beautiful tone with the bow.
