Young Violinist Repertoire
Grade 1 ( ABRSM ) Midi files
In general I recommend A1, B2 and C3. Sometimes it is a good idea to learn 2 or 3 pieces from a group, practise them for a term and then pick the strongest one for the exam. C3 is a very stylish piece, well written for the violin. Hoe Down is the piece to start with. Elgar's Andante was written by Elgar, ( when he used to "struggle" teaching the violin ), but is harder. All the other pieces are transcriptions, and Schumann's Humming Song is particularly difficult... ( It is really meant for the piano ). It's only advantage is the easy finger pattern it requires.

Here are many of my favourite studies, exercises and pieces, including
Russian folk dances and other traditional tunes. I have transcribed, arranged and bowed the parts so they can
be played with ease. Please follow all the bowings and fingerings ! Unless
specified, all pieces start with a down bow ! There is no copyright to this music
because I wrote it myself, though I based the themes on traditional folk tunes.
This legend should help you to download the relevant information on any
particular piece.
