The Best of Grade 2 Violin

Description

Over the years, many examination pieces have captured the imagination of teachers and students, but the stars of past syllabuses are often forgotten.

The Best of Grade 2 Violin brings together favourite Grade 2 pieces from the Trinity and ABRSM syllabuses, ranging from fresh editions of folk and classical masterpieces to contemporary favourites. A CD of performance and accompaniment tracks is included, as are useful practice tips.

All pieces have been rigorously researched by teacher, professional violinist and ABRSM examiner Jessica O’Leary.
