I just found a great student concerto to feed my students with! (I think of their needs as like watering plants - when they need sun, shade, and fertilizer!)
A concertino by Oskar Rieding is the piece I found on www.violinist.com. I studied his e minor concertino when I was growing up, and I used it as my de facto showpiece on violin for many years. It was all about tone production and energy.
If you read music, watch the violin line and keep the beat while reading it. If you're a student, imagine playing it as you read through it.
Pros might enjoy sawing through this once in awhile as a warm-up. It's a really well diguised etude, so you can use it to practice anything from spiccato to double-stop intonation to exploring vibrato and articulation. It's very simply rhythmically and harmonically, but is very engaging for a student who is still in the process of finding a level of finding a true comfort of facility with their instrument, or a pro who wants a fun way to brush up in a technical area once in awhile.
