Standard – IMPROVER

Notes and technical challenges within the range of ABRSM Grade 2 – 3  players.  Parts are more independent than in the easy-level sets, making greater demands in terms of counting skills and confidence.

Individual parts are relatively straightforward, so that players can concentrate on the ensemble aspects of performance.
