As I’ve only just started learning violin (I got one in late October 2020!), all the pieces I can play so far are very easy and simplified. Some of them don’t even have composers as they’re just small jazzy snippets that have been made up when the book was written, so you probably won’t even recognise some of them. But here’s a record of what I’ve been playing anyway, so you can see my progression and improvement over the upcoming years 🙂
