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. Downloadable performance and accompaniment tracks are available, as are useful practice tips.
All pieces have been rigorously researched by teacher, professional violinist and ABRSM examiner Jessica O’Leary. See Jessica discuss a piece from the Grade 2 book here.
