Love them or hate them, every musician must practice scales if they want to master their instrument. This is particularly true of us violinists, who not only have single note scales, bust also scales on individual strings, arpeggios, double-stops, 3rds, sixths, octaves, fingered octaves, tenths harmonics, double-harmonics, and whatever else you imagine! To master all of this, the violin student must use a systematic method for learning, practicing, and maintaining their scales.
