Advanced Scale Studies for Viola

For students, teachers, avid players, and young professionals, this organized method of practicing a scale system includes a complete set of scales, arpeggios, double stops, and chromatic scales in three and four octaves. With practice recommendations and instructions, it takes the scale routine to a higher level of successful preparation for advanced repertoire.  Virtuosic playing requires free movement on the entire fingerboard and the ability to perform different patterns in a fast tempo. Providing a secure hand position, developing finger patterns that can be applied to advanced repertoire, and bringing developed muscle memory to the correct practice of scales, arpeggios, and double stops, these exercises offer the necessary foundation for technical freedom.
