Scales for Advanced Violists

Practing scales need never be monotonous! This is a user-friendly scale book with each of the twelve keys complete on two facing pages. Dozens of bowings and rhythmic variants are offered to develop and improve evenness, clarity, agility, speed, and intonation. An innovative introduction to double stops takes the guesswork out of this important technique. The circle of fifths explains key signatures. The book includes three-octave major, melodic minor, harmonic minor, arpeggios, broken thirds, and chromatic scales. Double stops in octaves, thirds, sixths, and harmonics are presented in two octaves. This is the only scale book that most violists will ever need!
