These graded compositions for violin and piano was commissioned by the Engela Suzuki Violin Studio. The compositions encompass works for beginners to more advance works of approximately grade 6 standard. The aim of composing these works was to extend the South African composer repertoire of the students and to pose certain performance challenges to students that can be addressed from a pedagogical point of view. The works are all tonal and easy to learn because they were composed for very young – and in some cases very advanced – students. Each work was given a programmatic title to spark interest among the younger students and to enable them to relate to the music.
