**Half-Term Violin and Viola Scale Quest**

 

As teachers, we are always trying to find new ways to encourage our pupils to keep practising their scales.

Here is a printable poster designed for my violin and viola pupils, to explore and engage some of the most important technical foundations of string playing. It calls for students to “capture” the most beautiful scale ever heard and proudly present it in their next lesson.

We have had fun with it here in Hitchin. Why not give it a try?
Let's keep practice p
ositive, achievable, and just a bit fun - exactly how it should feel!

THE PRACTICE OF THIRDS
Back in the 90s, my teacher, Roger Best, shared a timeless technique with me at the Royal College of Music.
Handwritten exercises + typewritten instructions = game-changer for tuning & listening.
