A useful piece to introduce dotted rhythms in 6/8 time. There are some slurred string crossings.
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.
Each book has a series of short exercises in groups of ten and each exercise focuses on one particular aspect of violin technique. The books are excellent for dipping into, or working through. The books get progressively more challenging moving from grades 1 through to 6.
A good piece for introducing the harmonic minor scale, as well as easy double stopping. Lively and rhythmical in style.
Great for learning to maintain pulse, keeping going and for listening. Both 1st (0 1 23) and 2nd (0 12 3) finger patterns are used.
