Your first piece ever
What was the first piece you ever learned to play? Mine was Twinkle Twinkle Little Star :G

four seasons (nah lolzz kiddin') i forgot it ;)

Jingle Bells!

I don't know about bass, probably jingle bells, but I think that my first cello piece was perpetual motion.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I improvised it on the first night with my violin =)

i was with suzuki so yeah, twinkle twinkle lil star, but day 2 i was workin on explosivc lolz, i was a lil desperate. now im breezin through springs first movement (man that solo is hard!) and all movements of summer, (its Lmus, thats 10 grade!!!) but yeah, im gettin there slowly, woohoo go me

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.. yup. The Suzuki Twinkle Variations

It amazes me how popular Suzuki is!

Yeah Suzuki is a great way to start I think You start straight away with pieces so its very motivating

i hear that suzuki aint good in the later volumns, i just did suzuki 1 ...well, like 2 songs from that gaha, suzuki 2, 1 song from 3, then i worked on AMEB, so yeah.

yeah, once you get to the later books its all just repertoire so you dont really have to stick with it

Some teachers complain that Suzuki focuses too much on songs rather than technique, even though it may be more fun. On the other hand, AMEB really focuses on technique but some of the songs are a bit crappy... :G

yeah.. .but when your young you need lots of songs to be motivated!

AMEB is soo not technique, well the scale part of it is, but the peices are just peices, even suzuki has more technique stuff then AMEB, well the first few books anyway, with the second vlumn, each peice was like an etude, u were concentrating on a sort of technique, i remember that the brahms waltz was a slur practise, so yeah, ABEM is just songs of a level, so ameb aint the best way to improve on violin, u wanna improve, buy a studies/etude book and start playing!

what is AMEB?
