ABRSM Viola Mix Book 1 (Grades Initial to 1)
20 new arrangements, ABRSM Grades Initial to 1
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.
Key features of the series
• new arrangements of repertoire spanning many cultures and styles, in three progressive volumes at Grades Initial to 3
• accompaniments for piano, viola and guitar
• a rich source of repertoire for a concert or exam
• many of the pieces are featured on the ABRSM Viola syllabus from 2024

in music publishing and has composed and arranged a wide range of music from choral and organ compositions to educational music for strings, piano and a variety of other instruments. Together they have written the award-winning String Time series published by Oxford University Press.
