This project seeks to broaden the scope of violin education by incorporating compositions from marginalized composers, including women and people of color, into an accessible online repertoire list for private violin teachers and students. Over two years, student researchers will delve into the technical aspects of selected works, categorizing them by difficulty and assigning technical ratings. Drawing from established curricula such as the Suzuki Method, this endeavor aims to grade pieces outside the normal teaching repertoire for use by teachers to supplement popular curriculum. Through this initiative, student researchers will enhance their skills in repertoire analysis, pedagogy, and research methods, cultivating a more inclusive approach to violin pedagogy and repertoire. At its current state, our research has evaluated 55 works and is in the process of curating the items into a more legible and practical list.
