Andantino in G

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.

Rocking Horse

Good for practising slurring within a 3 /4 time signature and for working on producing some beautiful tone with the bow.

Fiddle Time

A lively piece requiring an energetically rhythmic mix of crotchet and quaver patterns. It has a contrasting more legato section with some slurs

Full Moon

Good for mixing crotchets with slurs and crotchets with separate bows. Requires legato bowing. 

Windscreen Wipers

Good for practising crotchet slurs with fingers and legato bowing.
