Scales scales and scales after 2 years

March 24, 2010 10:14

Wow, time certainy flies! I've been learning the violin for more than 2 years already!

Scales....I really do not like them. I liked them when I first started because they were easy, one note per bow, slow and steady. Now I have to play the 3 octaves in one bow, it's making me go crazy.

Thirds-killing me as well, I have to do them really slow, and even so, they are not entirely in tune.

Octaves... I did not realize how difficult these are, i'm not talking about fingered octaves either!!

Okay, this i need help... like soon...

One octave scales on one string. I forgot the copy at my teacher's house, and of course she demonstrated to me once, and I completely forgot the fingering.

All I remember was the last note was an extension! can someone please tell me what the fingerings are suppose to be?

thanks!
