Octaves, thirds, sixths, fingered octaves, and tenths---as well as harmonics, broken thirds, and chromatic scales are also presented with practice suggestions.

  • Good for intermediate students
Format: Sheet music
Good scale book for intermediate violinists (I am a college student) Includes a three octave major and minor scales, arpeggios, and exercises.

Well thought out scales.

  • Comprehensive and Useful
Format: Sheet music
I purchased this scale book to work more on my scales, particularly navigating different key signatures. This book makes it easy for an advanced violinist to see what needs to be done for each scale and gives more of a guideline to follow.

  • Great Excercises
Format: Kindle
I am not advanced by any means but my violin teacher asked me to purchase this book. The exercises are excellent and do require some "teacher-modeling" for fingering and other tricks that someone without lots of training would not be able to know. This has helped my violin playing overall.

  • It came on time. Great book.
Format: Sheet music
Great book for advanced violinists. Exactly as expected. I loved the fact that I was checking for the delivery and it showed me a map telling me that the truck was 4 stops away from my home. Five minutes later, I had the book in my front porch. Thank you!

  • Very good lessons in scales
Format: Sheet music
Every second year violin student should use this book. It begins with Circle of 5ths, then Practice for Scales and Arpeggios, Double Stops, and ends with a lesson in each of the Keys. So, very thorough. The quality of the book itself is very good for a stapled notebook. The paper, while not the highest quality, is good enough such that the print is crisp and clear. ... show more
