Description
The OFFICIAL ABRSM Violin Practice Partner is a simple way to make practising pieces for your exams more musical, enjoyable and fun. It is useful for anyone learning or teaching pieces from the NEW ABRSM Violin Exam Pieces from 2024. Selected Violin Exam Pieces from the 2020-2023 and 2016–2019 syllabus are also available to purchase in-app.
Use Violin Practice Partner to practise with the piano accompaniment, the violin part in isolation, or the duo ensemble recording. The app will help you to:
• Become familiar with the accompaniment and understand how the solo line fits with the piano part for more secure performances.
• Make practice more musical and enjoyable by having a virtual violin partner to play along with.
• Slow down or speed up the music to a tempo that suits you, for slow careful practice.
• Listen closely to the violin in isolation to hear every detail of the expert performance.
• Repeat tricky passages by setting loops around them.
You can also:
• Personalise the app – choose from nine different virtual partners to practise with!
Violin Practice Partner comes with an example piece from Grade 4 and Grade 8 of the NEW ABRSM Violin Exam Pieces from 2024, allowing you to experience the app before purchasing any piece. In app you can purchase:
Individual pieces and Grade selections from:
• All accompanied pieces from the ABRSM Violin Exam Pieces from 2024 books for Initial Grade – Grade 8
• All accompanied pieces from the ABRSM Violin Exam Pieces 2020–2023 books for Grades 1–8
• All accompanied pieces from the ABRSM Violin Exam Pieces 2016–2019 books for Grades 1–7
Notes:
• Please test the app using the sample piece to ensure it is working effectively on your device before making any in app purchases.
• Solo (unaccompanied) pieces are not available in-app.
• Practice Partner does not support the upload of external audio files.

Ratings and Reviews
No longer works with apple airplay
I have used this app for several years with my daughter who is learning the violin. It used to support apple AirPlay, so you could play the accompaniment through speakers. Some months ago this stopped, so I can only play the accompaniment on a phone or tablet, which is not as loud/easy to hear. Would be great if airplay support was re-introduced - we use it much less as a result.
General robustness also isn’t great.
Overall, it’s a very useful app to help listen to pieces and practice with piano.
Nice idea but some disappointing bits
I have just purchased this for my daughter who is doing her G2 Violin thinking that I would be able to use the accompaniment downloads I have just purchased from ABRSM site. This is not a feature. You can buy the tracks within the app but given that on the ABRSM it was £1.89 for 3 tracks and here it is £1.99 a track, I think I’ll still with the SpeedShifterLite app instead. Such a shame they don’t all link together.
Please Restore Apple AirPlay
Please Restore Apple AirPlay (or enable some other Bluetooth or WiFi method for connecting to speakers)
We USED to love this app. No longer :( My son used it from grade 1 and now we are starting grade 7. The volume and sound quality is feeble, but we’ve always been able to enhance it by projecting it onto the WiFi speaker. The removal of this feature leaves us with a lame sound track that is barely audible while the child tries to play along. Rather defeats the purpose. Please can you fix it? Urgently? Thanks in advance.
