I play violins & violas made by my father, Robert Vale, who died in 1996.
In 1998, for health reasons, I decided to take a break from music and gained a degree in Chinese from Oxford University. Then a few years later I returned to music, teaching violin, viola, piano, theory and running ensembles. With fresh eyes I began to write materials for my pupils – and the Hey Presto! series was born, followed some years later by Top Ten. I’ve loved writing these series and particularly enjoy creating the audio tracks for the tutor books, as well as arranging music for various combinations of instruments.
Other things I love? Gadgets, languages – I have a degree in Chinese and a smattering of several other languages – dogs, (I have a gorgeous border collie, Bonnie), walks in the Shropshire hills where I live now, jigsaw puzzles, the colour turquoise, dark chocolate..!

Book 2 (Silver) in this VIOLA tutor series, with an exciting new look and fabulous new audio tracks! Presto, Bravo and Poco continue this journey of musical discovery. Starting with simple three-finger pieces, by the end of the book the student will be able to play fairly complex pieces in first position, using all four fingers and low 2nd fingers. Some of the pieces (marked with a 𝄞) can be played with violinists using Hey Presto! for Violin, Book 2 Silver – so viola players can enjoy these with their violin-playing friends!
With imaginative and varied pieces to engage the emotions, amusing characters, illustrations, and clear, concise explanations these books are highly enjoyable and effective and give students all of the basic information they will need. Book 2 goes up to approximately ABRSM Grade 2 standard.
