First Position Scale Studies for the Viola, Book One

Learn the Building Blocks of Viola Playing

First Position Scale Studies for the Viola gives you easy viola scale exercises and bowings on the C, G, D, A, F, B-flat, and E-flat major scales.

Useful as an introductory book for scales, this book is also helpful with building tone and exploring different finger positions.

The book begins with the C major scale and teaches basic slur patterns and easy rhythms. After exercises on the G and D scales, the book progresses to other keys, grouped by finger patterns.

Rhythms are taught in 3/4, 4/4, and 6/8 timing. The book concludes with slow scale exercises for vibrato work and eighth-note studies for speed.

First Position Scales can be played with Finger Exercises for the Viola, Book One.
