    @pereira204100 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great!
    Regarding the 4th finger choice I think students should definitely do both. I feel that is better to use it going up because of the balance of the hand, finger timing and ultimately because as you go up in scale tonality you can't use open string while going up. That could be problematic because students begin with easier scales, in low positions, and get used not to use 4th finger going up.

    • @ViolinClassUSA
      @ViolinClassUSA  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Joaquim Pereira Thank you for your comment. From my own experience: I was introduced to shifting up from 4 to 1 only in the Conservatory. Since my regular shifting on the way up (2-1 and 3-1) was already OK, using 4-1 did not present any problems; I did not have to practice it, I just used it in pieces. If 4-1 is introduced too early, it may lead to more harm than good, in my opinion; that is why I never teach until the advanced level.

  • @misty0c408
    @misty0c408 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for this tutorial and for all the others. You are a wonderful teacher Madam. I have two questions:1)can I also use these fingerings for the C major? 2)about the shift.. When I shift sometimes the violin shifts as well, and the the bow makes little jumps, so the sound is not good. Could you please make a video tutorial for learning how to shift vithout making the violin to vibrate? Thank you so much.

    • @lagrenounouille
      @lagrenounouille 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The melodic a minor scale should be as A B C D E F# G# A G F E D C B A , where the 3dr degree of ascending a minor scale should be C instead of C# for my understanding. Anyway this is a very useful video for me and I go through all the details with it. Thank you for sharing.

  • @trumpsahead
    @trumpsahead 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, I am a beginner but had trouble following everything you said about switching to other positions. Talking is harder to follow than a Chart, so I will look for a Chart that shows all the Preferred fingering for three octaves with marked Switch positions. Thanks, for your suggesting that it really does not matter. I can work out any scale by myself, but would like to know Preferred or what is considered Sacred on violin.
    Actually I am still learning one octave; don't really want to know three octaves. I figure after I learn one octave of all scales in Circle of Fifths, then I will have attained a good ear and fingering to go for the whole Violin or three octaves. Didn't realize the switch to three octaves would mean different positions. Thanks, ciao.

      Have you tried slowing the video, the better to see what is going on? Press the settings button, bottom right of your youtube screen and choose the speed you want. Down to 50% will not affect the pitch. Also very useful for picking up tunes by ear.

    Brava Prof. Bushkova! I always enjoy your videos for their clarity, conciseness, and pedagogical rigor. However, your comment on not using scale books requires great self-discipline (very rare to find it in young students!) and an excellent teacher to ensure the scales are being played correctly. Personally, I like the scale books by Elisabeta Gilels and Jascha Heifetz (ed. Endre Granat). Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You ought to consider writing a book on violin pedagogy someday. I'd be the first to buy it!

    • @ViolinClassUSA
      @ViolinClassUSA  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Prof. Saldarriaga, thank you for your comment!
      You are absolutely correct - practicing without a book requires much self-discipline (or continuing lessons with a demanding teacher). I also use the Gilels book here in the States; however, I do not allow anyone to play a scale (or arpeggios or double-stops) looking at the music in the lesson. I want my students' brains to be 'turned on' as much as possible... Again, thank you for your interest and your comments (on the other videos as well).

    Thank you Professor Bushkova for this excellent video! My question (please pardon me if this seems obvious, but I'm not a musician/play music, I'm helping my young son in his violin): what is your goal for your students in learning these scales? I.e. what are you looking for when your students are playing the scales? One thing that I can think of is probably intonation (playing in tune, esp with each note & the shift). Are there any other things? If you wouldn't mind sharing your thoughts from beginner-advanced students. Thanks a lot!

    • @ViolinClassUSA
      @ViolinClassUSA  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thank you for your question and bravo on your participation in your son's learning to play the violin! We play scales to work on cleaning intonation, producing an even and ringing tone with the bow, shifting very lightly and (later on) very swiftly. Scales also develop our left-hand dexterity (when played in the fast tempo). A musical goal of a perfect scale would be "to put the audience to sleep" - nothing should distract the listening ear.

They are all very helpful and even easy to understand for a non-musician like me. I did not realize how important it is to develop proper finger pattern to produce good intonation. We now play the "pattern" game with my son to help him along. I know this is a long journey but thank you again for making these quality videos.
