I've arranged a Schubert piece for the needs of a six-month / one-year violin beginner (if a job's worth doing, do it yourself?), and I'd appreciate some advice on how to handle a ten-bar section which moves the key sig temporarily.
Do I leave it in Cmaj and give the accidentals (see attached PDF, bars 29 - 38), or do I change it to Amaj for the middle ten? I'm thinking of the needs of the 95-percentile learner and I fear I may be an outlier (one way or the other).
Please excuse the WIP condition of the piece; dynamics and artics will be added as the arrngement hardens. For the avoidance of doubt, most of my work is in bars 29 - 54.

You seem to have chosen a solution already, so you can leave it as it is - you probably won't be interested in it in three weeks' time anyway. Alternatively, see if it's in IMSLP and, if it is, check how Schubert wrote it.
He used accidentals:

Use the accidentals. Someone who's new to reading music may not have been introduced to the idea of changing keys.

I assumed Peter was talking about himself.

Heh! Guilty.
I became captivated by this piece after hearing it in a Spotify Schubert playlist; a recording of a violin / guitar duet. Unfortunately for me, the violin shifts out of my range of confidence in that arrangement, and so I decided to simplify it to bring it into my neophyte compass. Here's a YT video of the duet:

Thank you both for your advice; I'll just keep the accidentals and start playing it through to find the best articulations and so forth.
