Red Hot Violin Grades 3-4

Description

Red Hot Violin Grades 3-4 arranged by Rachel Jennings contains 19 contemporary pieces arranged for violin and piano; favourites from rock, jazz, pop and musical theatre…..Each piece is introduced with a brief comment about style and performance presentation, encouraging the player to explore how to present this music.

Jennings also recommends a particular recording of each piece (an interpretation by a respected artist), for the player to listen to. There are also style guide suggestions for each piece that illustrate the type of arrangement. Intermediate students can have lots of fun with these pieces, using slides and bending notes to get a contemporary feel, and modelling on the recommended recording.
