This program gives access to nearly 80 scales, arpeggios and
sevenths for the Royal School of Music violin grades 1 to 5. No slurring or
bowing patterns are given - the sole purpose is to give help with pitch and timing.
For each piece, a few drum beats give a lead-in - the number
is shown <n> on the relevant menu. Also, a piece, once chosen, can be
repeated easily (just by pressing Return).
Some of the higher grades use the same scales as a lower
grade (but with a different bowing pattern). Up to grade 4 these 'duplicate'
scales are shown (within parentheses), and the earlier grade menu is displayed.
At grade 5 this is not done (lack of word-space; and grade 5 candidates ought
to be generally proficient anyway).
Notes:
For the convenience of my own children, the grade 1 2-octave
scales are re-directed up to the grade 2 menus.
I have tried to provide full support to a keyboard, but this
only becomes fully operational (8-key) when the pieces finish.
