Tunes and melodies
A lot of etudes and melodic exercises in books are in my opinion very boring. But folktunes that have been "filtered" through the years and centuries are often very beautiful and you get that important "inner song feeling" when playing them. In my practice, I like to play such tunes and melodies as a supplement to Concone and other quality melodic studies. 

If you have a composer program (and a soundcard) in your computer, you can download the MIDI-files, import them into the composer and play, transpose, and print it out.
If you have the NoteWorthy Composer, you can download the NWC-files.
To download MIDI and NWC, right-click the mouse and save it.
