ABRSM Viola Syllabus 2020-2023
We’re delighted that a number of our pieces for viola have been selected on ABRSM’s new viola syllabus. Also, David’s new arrangement of ‘When the Saints Go Marching In’ at Initial grade is published in ABRSM’s graded book. All the pieces selected from Viola Time Joggers, Runners and Sprinters can be accompanied in the exam by either piano or viola, using our books of piano or viola accompaniments.
