The Best of Grade 3 Violin (Instrumental Solo)

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 3 Violin brings together best-loved grade 3 pieces from current and past Trinity and ABRSM syllabuses, such as Build that Wall, Overnight Mail Express (Cohen) and Sleep Song (Humperdinck). Online audio of performance and accompaniment tracks are available to download, as are useful practice tips.

Containing fresh editions of folk and classical masterpieces alongside contemporary favourites, all pieces have been rigorously researched by teacher, professional violinist and ABRSM examiner Jessica O’Leary. She has toured and recorded extensively as a member of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, and has performed with Madonna, Led Zeppelin, the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Opera House.
