Streicher - Scale & Chord Studies

As with any other instrument, scales and broken chords are an important basis for the development of a thorough technique. It is essential that the student initially adopts a slow tempo for these exercises. What you can't play slowly, you won't be able to play fast either.

In cultivating a good tone, it is very important at the beginning to ensure that the bow is pulled through from the heel to the tip. This means playing two notes with a single bow, without diminuendo. I have added fingering only where the position changes.

In the early stages, the student should not be discouraged. This is essential on the path to success.
