I Love My Scales (Book + Online Audio)

Publisher: Mel Bay
Practical Scale Studies for All Levels of Violin Performance with Backup Practice Online Audio
For All Levels

The 257 online piano accompaniment tracks are to change your attitude towards playing tetrachords, scales, arpeggios, and double stops on the violin.

While this book was written primarily for violinists to enhance intonation, agility, overall musicianship, and the sense of time, mandolinists will benefit equally in improving sight reading and fretboard knowledge.

This book and its companion recordings offer a complete workout for 1 to 3-octave major and minor scales and arpeggios in commonly used violin keys. The book also addresses scales in various intervals plus chromatic, modal, and exotic scales—all with piano accompaniment.
