First Position Violin Scales: An In-Depth Study

This is the economic (perfect binding) version of this book. For spiral bound version go to lulu.com/shop.Most books written on violin scales do not go into depth on individual scale studies. They merely show a scale and its fingering and move on to the next scale. This book was written to provide a deeper and more interesting way of studying individual scales.This book covers 10 one-octave scales and 3 two-octave scales: all within the first position. Each scale has 35 different variations. Each variation was designed to both reinforce the fingering and intonation and to stop the violin student from practicing the scale the same way every time. The variations provide new ways of practicing the scales to reinforce the learning process from many different angles and to engage the mind during scale practice.
