As always, play all the pieces you know up to your current level. Advanced students are encouraged to play harmony parts. You are encouraged to learn as much music outside the Suzuki books as you are comfortable with at your current level of study. The concert music will be chosen from the list below. All music will be MEMORIZED! All Suzuki pieces will be in “violin key” (unless otherwise notated to transpose to play with violists/cellists). Also, please be aware that some music selections may be cut to keep the concert from being too long. We appreciate your flexibility!
