- A detailed demonstration of the G major 2 octave scale and arpeggio for beginner (grade 1) violinists and self teachers like myself. Learning this scale will help in the long run by making it easier to learn a large portion of beginner songs that are in the G major scale.
In this video, I review all the notes / finger patterns AND 3 different ways to progressively practice the G major scale. Near the end, I also go over the G Major Arpeggio, note by note.

Very impressive.
Thank you So much
I'm 64 and i just got my first ever violin, a Yamaha sv-200 electric violin. It is groove. It is fun. I'm not using the tape. I just mapped my neckboard. The violin is kind of like a trombone.
Super clear and easy .Thank you!
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you
You're very welcome 😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I ve subscribed your channel.
Thank you for not assuming “a beginner” has 3 years experience and knows exactly where to place their fingers to play a scale… I have no idea why 99% of beginner videos just name the notes while playing, I think students that are able to do that are probably more advanced than those who decided to film their out of tune playing…. Very much appreciate the help
Thank you, I'm glad this video was helpful.
Thank you for your teaching,

You're very welcome, thanks for watching.
I thank you very much for giving your violin knowledge free is something very rare nowadays.
Thanks for watching. The resources are out there for all those who want to self teach. Happy practice!
Thanks Ian a beginner and I love the way you explained you are my first and best teacher
This video was GREAT
Thank you! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching, happy practice! 🤓🎻
Thank you for this really proper beginners guide. I really appreciate you showing so clearly both on the violin and with the picture next to it. It's exactly what I needed for someone who cannot read notes! Cheers from Sweden
Glad it was helpful! You're very welcome. Thanks for watching, happy practice! 🤓🎻
Thank you ma'am for explaining it so beautifully that all of my doubts are clear now. I found your videos most useful in the Interest for beginners like me. Most importantly you showed us how and where to place fingers, it was the most difficult thing for me to practice without finger board stickers. Please keep on sharing and help us in learning process. 😊
I'm happy that you found my video helpful, thanks for watching! I will do my best to keep sharing my insights. All the best in your violin learning. 🤓 🎻
Thanks for your lesson. It's great.
I saw how to hold your bow to play your dot notes and eight notes, I understood how to use them. Can you teach how to use the bow to play Triplet and Sixteen notes?
Glad it was helpful! I'm not sure if this video covers 8th or 16th notes. That's something I never thought of demonstrating, but I'll do my best to address them in a future video. Thanks for your comment.
6:38 your intonation is really beautiful to listen to
Thank you!
Excelente, estoy iniciando y al fin entendi lo que implica la escala de sol mayor o G con sus 2 # y el arpegio !! Gracias Maestra. Me puede recomendar canciones para niños que esten en esta escala?? Gracias de antemano
Me da gusto que mi video le a ayudado. Ay una cancion, "El Granjero Feliz" que esta en la escala de sol mayor. No se de otras, pero si puede convertir muchas canciones en ese escala - como "Twinkle Twinkle" y "Hace Mucho Mucho Tiempo".
😃🥰😍
Can I please ask during the 2 Octive g major scale do you always keep the 3 fingers down on ie 1A 2B & 3C when playing the scale or is a good tip just to keep 3 fingers down for good practice hope this makes sense many thanks
Thanks for the question. I tend to keep my first three fingers down because it helps with intonation. So yes, I would recommend keeping fingers down as you play the scale - only if it's NOT causing tension. For example, on the A string, I tend to lift my low 2nd finger (C natural) when I place my 3rd finger. I do this because when I keep the low 2nd finger down, it causes tension and as a result affects my intonation and could potentially cause injury. So my advice (as a fellow student) is be efficient by keeping your fingers down but pay attention to how you feel. Then adjust your playing method to avoid tension. Hope this makes sense...Happy Practice!
@@LadyAndTheViolin many thanks yes it makes sense
How do you strengthen your pinky? Just by practicing scales? Or do you do some exercise with some external tools like grip strengthener?
No, pinky strengthening requires a different type of drill(s). The drill that helps the most is one from Schradieck Book 1 - Exercise 1, Line 6 & 7. You basically strengthen your pinky by alternating with different fingers and the pinky. There's another helpful drill by Violinspiration that's similar to the Schradieck exercise. If you're interested, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/TYiE0hqI7l4/w-d-xo.html
@@LadyAndTheViolin Thanks. I have seen this video. I will practice. Do you recommend joining vionlinspiration paid community membership?
Do you mean joining her online academy? If you feel you need the extra help, go for it! Julia is a really good violinist and teacher for adult learners. You just need to make sure you're able to work with Zoom to get the most out of it.
It takes 1 year to complete the Suzuki violin volume 1 book?
Not necessarily, it depends on the person. It can be more or less than a year depending on how fast you can "master" the pieces. I took about 1 year and 3 months.
@@LadyAndTheViolin Thanks for the reply. I discovered your videos while searching for a source to learn G major arpeggio. Your videos are simple and great. I have been learning violin for the past one and a half month and I have progressed till Etude exercise in the Suzuki volume book 1. Currently, I am beginning to use G string and I am learning G major scale and arpeggio. I could play all of the 11 exercises at a beginner level speed, with some reasonable level of string crossing mistakes, with somewhat straight longbows on E, A and D. To explain my current level, I have no problem going up the scale using the fourth finger on G major scale but while coming down I find it difficult to get the fourth finger on the spot with the right amount of pressure. I hope that it will get better over time. But, 1 year seems to be a very long time and makes me feel that I have a very long mile to cross. I hope to achieve it in 6 months. Am I unrealistic in my expectations?
That's great, I'm glad my videos are helping. I try to post videos that I would have found useful when I first began my learning. You are progressing really quickly, after Etude the real fun begins. I had the same problem with my fourth finger too, with time it does get better as long as you address the problem. For example, to solve the pinky issue when descending scales, I'd stop and try to solve the issue by repeating the first to fourth finger motion, when I got the pitch and sound correct at least three times, I would continue with the rest of the scale. You will get better with time. Six months to complete Book 1 is not unrealistic, especially if you have a teacher to help you. Me, on the other hand, am self teaching and I like to mix up the lesson plan with other beginner pieces. It keeps my learning interesting. All the best in your learning!
@@LadyAndTheViolin You are a sweet soul!
Shouldn’t we repeat the g on d string to complete 16 notes? (Two octaves =16notes )
You can if you want. You can practice the scales however you feel is best for your learning, as long as you pay attention to achieving a good intonation and sound. Happy practice! 😁🎻
@@LadyAndTheViolin another question how do I play an octave with becar or dies?
You're saying "a whole step down", "half step down" when the scale is rising in sound. Very confusing. Great demo but I can't use it for my classes because of the verbiage cited.
No problem, the are plenty of other tutorials you can watch that explain the same principal. Just doing my best to share my experience, but if it doesn't work out to your advantage, move on to something that does. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment. Happy practice 🤓🎻
I'm 🌷9💜

Can't practice it that much I have a schedule
What..about..if.you..tune.the..violin..as..C..G..C.G.as.it.is.done.in..India..G.D.A.E.is.the.universal.tuning..system.
It's better if you make it less complicated and also play it as if she's just thought you
