Student Repertoire AO Na eae em sy tailo wINTRODUCTION
Solos for Young Violinists is a six volume series of music books with companion CDs
featuring more than 50 pieces for violin and piano. Many of the works in this collec-
tion have long been recognized as stepping stones to the major violin repertoire, while
others are newly published pieces which offer further choices for study; most are
recorded in this series for the very first time. Compiled, edited and recorded by vio-
linist Barbara Barber, Solos for Young Violinists is a graded series of works ranging from
elementary to advanced levels and represents an exciting variety of styles and tech-
niques for violinists. The collection has become a valuable resource for teachers and
students of all ages. The piano track recorded on the second half of each CD gives the
violinist the opportunity to practice with accompaniments.

for violin and piano
Arranged by Barbara Barber
Simple Folk Songs for violin and piano are arrangements of
folk songs taken from Volume 7 of the Concord Series
published by the E. C. Schirmer Music Company in 1921.
Each “piece,” as it should be referred to when being played
cn violin, is preceded by a preparatory scale which
introduces a new finger pattern. The lyrics at the end of
cach selection are provided not necessarily as a learning
device, but only as a point of interest and to indicate the
style in which each should be played.

Here is a staircase so steep and so tall:
Here in my hand is a red rubber ball;
See how I make it go hippity-hop!
See how I throw it way up to the top!
Here it comes down again, cloppity-clop!2. English Folk Song

The practice of scales need never be monotonous! Scales for Advanced Violinists and
Scales for Advanced Violists are “user-friendly” scale books with each of the twelve
keys complete on two facing pages. Dozens of bowings and rhythmic variants are
offered to develop and improve evenness, clarity, agility, speed and intonation. An
innovation introduction to double-
stops takes the guess-work out of
this important technique. The
Circle of 5ths explains key
. signatures. The books include three
Twinkle | octave major, melodic minor,
Variations | harmonic minor, arpeggios, broken
Festival | 3rds and chromatic scales. Double-
Arrangement | stops in octaves, thirds, sixths and
(8017) | harmonics are presented in two
octaves. These are the only scale Scales for Scales for
books that most violinists and Advanced Violinists Advanced Violists
violists will ever need! (8010X) (8023)
