Description
Over time, numerous examination pieces have inspired both educators and students, yet many notable selections from previous syllabuses tend to fade from memory. The Best of Grade 4 Violin compiles cherished works from both contemporary and historical syllabuses, featuring compositions such as Hindu Song (Rimsky-Korsakov), Sometime Maybe (Wedgwood), and Fly Me to the Moon (Howard). This collection offers newly edited versions of folk and classical masterpieces alongside modern favorites, all meticulously curated by violin authority Jessica O’Leary. Accompanying online audio tracks for performance and accompaniment, as well as practical practice tips, enhance the learning experience. The book encompasses selections from both current and historical Trinity and ABRSM syllabuses. Jessica O’Leary boasts a distinguished career as a teacher, professional violinist, ABRSM examiner, and seminar presenter, having toured and recorded extensively with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, and performed alongside artists such as Madonna, Led Zeppelin, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Opera House. She currently teaches violin and viola and leads string ensembles at St Paul’s Girls’ School, Eltham College, and Junior Guildhall London.
