A fun work for beginners on the G, D and A strings with easy crotchet and quaver rhythms. Everyone gets the melody at some point, which features bow lifts during rests. First violins are independent, second violins double violas, and cellos and basses are doubled in octaves. Swinging the eighths is optional.
These rounds from Germany, England, Scotland, Latin America, Israel, and Australia are completely compatible with first-year method books. All are in beginner-friendly keys, have simple rhythms, use hooked bows or two-note slurs, and will help your students learn to play independently whilst becoming more comfortable in an ensemble.
This famous concerto, originally for lute, is a great fit for solo viola with a few minor adjustments. With three short movements in the key of D major, this work will delight audiences and gives the director a chance to highlight an outstanding violist without being overly technically taxing. Can be played all in first position, although some shifting may be preferred to execute trills. Also, an opportunity for a solo cello to play continuo.
