AltoTastic is a book for viola students in their first few years of learning.

Pieces 1 to 3 are intended for those at about Grade 1;
Pieces 4 to 6 are for those working at Grade 2;
Pieces 7 to 9 suit those at Grade 3.

My pupils see a duet as a treat and, if I’m honest, I look forward to those bits of our lessons too. Maybe you feel the same? For that reason, the viola 1 part can be accompanied either by

– Another violist playing the Viola 2 part
Or
– A pianist playing the pull-out piano part

To help you, this book provides free recordings of the pieces at www.cliftonedition.com/C776

and, if you want to add them to a playlist of other works you are learning, you can also find them on streaming platforms like Spotify (just search for the name of the composer and the name of the piece).
