You may not fall in love, but the 257 online piano accompaniment tracks that come witháI Love My Scalesáare likely to change your attitude towards playing tetrachords, scales, arpeggios, and double stops on the violin. In fact, anyone who plays a C instrument with a comparable range will enjoy playing along with these imaginative and elegant recordings.áWhile this book was written primarily for violinists to enhance intonation, agility, overall musicianship, and the sense of time essential to playing with an ensemble in any style, mandolinists will benefit equally in improving sight reading and fretboard knowledge. Like the famous Hanon studies for piano, once these exercises become a part of muscle memory, improved technical, ear training and improvisation skills will follow.Useful for violinists of any skill level, this book and its extensive 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 scalesùall with piano accompaniment that makes scale practice a labor of love.Includes access to online audio.
