Scales A-D

D Scale - Skipping

Scales are important to get your ears and fingers coordinated. These may seem like simple and meaningles but can help even the best of fiddlers get tuned in... and this is only half of what you need to focus on!

Don't forget that the bow is the other half of the focus with scales. Make sure you have long bowing and the transition is smooth and clean.

The third half of your focus is to get rhythm down. Tempo is crucial if you are going to succeed in fiddling.
