Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music Party Time! 18 party pieces for violin and piano
Book SynopsisThese 18 fun tunes for violin and piano are ideal for every party time and conjure up a variety of scenes and images to fire the young player's imagination. They are also skilfully written for beginners, with the shapes of tunes reinforcing basic fingering patterns and with simple matters gently presented. All the pieces are in first position with the fingers in the standard major key pattern, and the tunes cleverly exploit scale shapes to provide plenty of practice of this basic but essential finger-work. Some pieces concentrate on E-string or G-string notes; others include pizzicatos, simple two-note slurs or basic bow retakes. The easy piano parts provide a colourful and supportive accompaniment in a range of styles and moods, and adults and children alike will love the witty cartoons printed alongside some of the pieces. Many of the pieces are perfectly suited to ABRSM's Preparatory Test.Trade ReviewA useful book for the preliminary violinist who wants to enjoy exploring new repertoire at this standard. * Music Teacher *... thoughtfully conceived and beautifully crafted.

Kahn & Averill Violin and Viola
Book SynopsisYehudi Menuhin shares with the reader his unique store of understanding about the violin, about how to exercise and practise, about the techniques of performance. His reflections on the nature and scope of his instrument are profoundly illuminating and his theories on interpretation particularly valuable. A section on the violinist as teacher/student contains a fascinating transcript of a lesson with Yehudi Menuhin, who also writes separately about the violinist as orchestral player, leader, chamber music player, recitalist and soloist. William Primrose writes the distinguished monograph on the viola and describes the instrument as ‘a violin with a college education’. He was an acknowledged technical master of the viola who, along with Lionel Tertis, was one of the finest exponents of this beautiful instrument of the 20th century. Denis Stevens, the British musicologist and specialist in early music, provides and interesting chapter on the history of the violin and looks in detail at the monumental challenge that is Bach’s Six Solos for Violin without Bass Accompaniment better known as the Sonatas and Partitas for Violin.Trade Review'Yehudi Menuhin was the reason I became a violinist… He was an inveterate learner as well as an inveterate teacher – constantly searching for answers to life and music. I encountered this side of him first hand after I’d started studying with Zakhar Bron. Menuhin wanted to know all about Bron’s teaching, and we talked for several hours, during which he asked me to play for hours – he’d jump in with fascinating insights, suggestions and comparisons.' - Daniel Hope, Memories of Menuhin, The StradTable of ContentsPreface by Yehudi Menuhin, The Instrument by Etienne Vatelot, Part One - The Violin by Yehudi Menuhin, 1.
