Daily Scale Play-along | With double stops, metronome and drone.

A violin scale system with drone and metronome included so that you can simply press play and follow along. It's as near as I can get to being in the practice room with you. I use this scale progression daily for most of my students preparatory to progressing to Carl Flesch. It follows the format of Barbara Barber's Scales for Advanced Violinists and includes scales, arpeggios, and double stops. It also includes my speed progressions for scales and double stops as well as steady focus points. It's designed to be a video you can follow along with each day as part of your practice routine. If your practice time doesn't allow this much time for scales, pick which sections to focus on for that day and rotate through them making sure to cover everything regularly. I'd recommend never skipping the slow bow scale portion. Happy practicing!

23 more to go! Kidding, but it would actually be useful to have same kind of video for other common scales. I don't know if it's a bit redundant. This video is enough to get a feeling for it even if you go to a different scale. I like this demo because it doesn't focus so much on really fast brilliant tempos but is still very well played.

Haha yeah making one for each scale is definitely a possibility. I was thinking this one could be used to get a sense of the progression which would then be applicable to all the other scales. I have some other videos in the works that I think will be more immediately helpful but this is the 2nd request I’ve gotten to make one for every scale. If a few more come in, I’ll definitely bump it up the priority list. 👍

I aspire to play half as good as you!! ❤🎻

[@priceviolinacademy]

Thanks Amy! Hope this helps.

Could you please cut them into individual scale? Thank you. It is helpful.

[@priceviolinacademy]

Hey! I’m assuming you just mean add tags so you can easily jump to what part of the scale you need. Is that what you meant? That is definitely coming. Let me know if you meant something else.

[@wenmpengt]

@@priceviolinacademy I meant that you may cut them into individual video and each video is a scale. Each scale could repeat several times. It will be helpful for the beginners if the scale is played without vibrato. Adding the tags is another option for sure. Thanks

Do you teach violin as your career? Keep up the good work!

[@priceviolinacademy]

Yes i do. 👍 Keep an eye out for the channel intro video and you can learn more about what I do. I perform and teach professionally but my teaching is what I’m most passionate about.

[@doggoei984]

@@priceviolinacademy Cool! Do you go on tour?

[@priceviolinacademy]

@@doggoei984 Very rarely at this point. Mostly just teach from my home and perform locally. Every once in a while I’ll take a gig that requires some travel.

[@sedatakkas8427]

May i ask which tones you play in sequence on arpeggios routine? You start by g major and how is it moving? Thank you so much for the video, wish you health!

[@priceviolinacademy]

Tricky to answer this in a comment. The easiest way is probably to just grab Barbara Barber’s scale book for advanced violinists. It’s a pretty standard arpeggio progression and the book will help you out long term so you’ve got all the stuff together conveniently. 👍
