A versatile and very popular collection of well known pieces from a wide variety of styles for players to dip into and enjoy.
Easy Winners for Viola has something for everyone. From Christmas tunes to classics, from television themes to folk tunes, the 59 unaccompanied tunes have been carefully selected and arranged. The choice of range, technique and style of music have been carefully geared to the instrument and ability range.
The titles to Easy Winners for Viola have been arranged as unaccompanied solos, but combined with optional CD or easy piano accompaniments, a whole new world of playing opportunity opens up. Teachers talk of pupils finding the book addictive, unable to leave it alone after playing along with the CD which cleverly incorporates just enough of the solo line to support the player without providing simply a play along.
Easy Winners for Viola is an essential companion to a tutor book and an ideal partner to Winners Galore for Viola.

"...A safe yet adventurous playground for the young violist, and ideal for recreational playing at home. A well-chosen collection of classical pops, traditional and show tunes, TV and film music hits, it presents the material in short form, making ideal material to encourage sight-reading practice for the grade 2 - 4 player. The accompanying CD has 'music minus-one' tracks for about half the tunes…..a motivating force for many children. A piano accompaniment book is available separately."
