Arranger: Kathy and David Blackwell

Viola Mix is an original series of new arrangements for viola. Book 1 offers attractive repertoire at Grades Initial to 1 in a wide variety of styles. Well-known music includes ‘Autumn’ from The Four Seasons and ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ from Mary Poppins. There are also lots of new tunes to be explored, such as ‘Gavotta’ by Ignatius Sancho and the traditional American song ‘Let us chase the squirrel’.
The series has been compiled by string specialists Kathy and David Blackwell and covers the musical and technical elements of the early grades in three progressive volumes. Many of the arrangements are featured on the ABRSM Viola syllabus from 2024 and, in addition, all are ideal choices for Performance Grade exams. There are piano accompaniments for every piece, and viola accompaniments and guitar chords for many pieces, providing useful flexibility for students and teachers.
