Yodel Away
For a bit of fun for my String Group, I wrote a Yodel song. It’s very simple for 3 violins but we had fun trying to see how fast we could play it. Here is the score (it is only 3 pages, and should fit okay on a music stand): Yodel Away Feb 2014

A Very, Very Cold Song
Yes, I did an arrangement of this song for three violins. I’m sure you can guess which one. Hopefully I won’t get into trouble for posting my arrangement here, as it was done off the top of my head. I have only seen the movie once and loved it. Anyways, here’s the score for my […]

My version of ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams
So this isn’t exactly ‘Happy’, but it does have that familiar tune. I added in a few extras to make it my own arrangement of it. My students certainly loved playing it, and it’s short and sweet. I wrote it for 4 violins, and the melody is shared between Violin 1 and Violin 2. Hope […]

Christmas String Group in November
December is always a busy time of year, so we did our Christmas String Group songs in November, and we had December off. I thought it would be lots of fun to invite the parents in, give them some percussion to do in our Christmas songs, and perform some favourite previous String Group pieces we had […]

Friday Night at the Movies Violin Trio
This violin trio is an original piece of mine. I had the idea of dramatic movie themes, and taking my violin students on a movie journey during their Friday Night String Group. This piece has been one of their absolute favourites so far. We couldn’t get it quite up to speed on the night, but we […]

When You Wish Upon A Star violin trio

‘Nimrod’ from the Enigma Variations for 4 Violins
I love this piece by Edward Elgar. There is something so soothing about it, so moving. It was also one of the last pieces the Athens Symphony Orchestra played after it was asked to shut down by their Government 🙁 So sad! I wrote out an arrangement for my String Group, for 4 violins. It’s not an easy […]

String Group Boy Band Medley
*Giggles with this post* This is the most absurd thing I have ever written! Honestly! I came up with this little number on the Friday night directly after the May String Group session. For some unknown reason, once the girls had all left, I had a Take That song in my head, quickly followed by One […]

Violin La Vida – String Group Style
This one is definitely a favourite. By popular request, I spent a lot of time arranging this little number. It is one of the harder ones to keep everyone together, but so much fun! The fourth violin part is tricky – in that it is so easy to lose where you’re up to, but it’s […]
