Violin Techniques - THE PATTERN SCALES

Professor of Violin Julia Bushkova explains the PATTERN SCALES (two-octave scales in one position i.e. no shifting) and how to practice them.
0:43 The first "pattern" scale starting with the First finger -- A Flat Major
1:25 "Flashing the patterns" for all four strings
1:51 The next "pattern" scales - in incremental 1/2 steps up
2:40 The summary of the patterns used
2:55 Be very aware of what key you are in at every moment
3:25 The highest scale (VII position) starts with "G"
3:56 Help your LH fingers with the elbow!
4:40 The Second "pattern" - starting with the Second finger

Can I be Frank!?
Your videos are AWESOME!
Thank you!❤

Brilliant! Go through two-octave for all Major scales, Ab, A, Bb, B, C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, Gb(F#), G, with one PATTERN. I will introduce Bushkova's PATTERN SCALES to my granddaughter. She has already practiced two-octave scale in A Major with this hand PATTERN. Next month will be her 4th birthday. I can't imagine how fast she will go through all those scales. I have to spend lot of time to explain to her why there are so many "b"s and "#"s on the music sheet. Thank you so much Professor Bushkova!

I absolutely LOVE this video. I’ll have FUN playing scales because of you. Thank you and God Bless🎻

[@stephenfernandes6440]

Showing of fingers is very confusing.its detracting and distracting.

[@starise27]

I really like this concept. I thought you presented it very well. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you.

[@randlyons7278]

So Julia. I suspect you find this pattern thing to be intellectually obvious but us newbies think that is just cool beens. Good stuff. Thank you.

[@Bowwylad]

your my favourite teacher on yt, I've improved drastically after your left hand videos, thanks Julia, just started learning in UK at 46! :)

You might be my new favorite channel ❤️

[@danhu4465]

You can also do minor scales (natrual and melodic) with this and believe me this is super useful. I have been teaching my students this at class for years.

[@ViolinClassUSA]

Yes, you are absolutely right! Thank you for your valuable comment.

[@danielzanotelli5800]

I've been playing the guitar for almost 8 years (i am 21 years old now) and i decided to pick up the violin to learn, and i am so excited to put my hands on one, i am watching all your videos so i can have an idea and try to compare the fingering and the techniques with the eletric guitar. Thank you for this video, i am really happy that the violin has patterns that are kinda similar to the guitar hahaha

[@ViolinClassUSA]

Thank you for your comment. To your words " the violin has patterns that are kinda similar to the guitar" - Absolutely. The patterns (somewhat adjusted) may be useful for many instruments

[@danielzanotelli5800]

I think so too! :)

[@augustinechinnappanmuthria7042]

Good morning teacher very very excellent teaching I loved it
I having a problem playing in G major 3 octave scale my fingers can't curved like your styles in edge of finger board when I go higher position how to do correctly?

[@ViolinClassUSA]

It depends on your hand size and structure and your fingers' lengths. Some people would look different form others. The main thing is to be able to move the fingers freely.

[@erinreed318]

What are some of the benefits of these scales? How does it apply to playing music in general (not just playing scales)? Thank you!

[@prashantkrishnan9022]

Since most of music is based on scales, you can use these finger configurations to play many songs.

[@nikomedessene1592]

❤

[@marcopilati7464]

Ecuse me, Prof. What is the main difference between to starting scales with first or second finger, in practice?

[@ViolinClassUSA]

Sometimes in the music we play, we have to start a scale with the first finger; other times - with the second... I do not understand your question....

[@gguitar141]

I am guitar player and that is easy concept just similar with guitar

[@sculean]

anywhere I can see a diagram of all the hand positions?

[@ViolinClassUSA]

You can Google-search and you will probably find something. However, for learning-to-play purposes, I would not recommend using any diagrams. Since we play by feel and the sound, what I am showing in the video is much more constructive than any visual aid.

[@sculean]

@@ViolinClassUSA I took my fingering place holders off yesterday actually. I'm going to take your advice and learn to play more by feel and sound than visually

[@1cleandude]

If playing major scale on G string why change finger pattern? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@user-sp1nb6eh9y]

How do you press on the string ?

[@carywatmore]

Wow i cant do that with my fingers when they are in the air...

[@karenr.349]

😮😮😮😮😮

[@fadlihermawan3128]

Can I apply the pattern when I practice arpeggio?

[@ViolinClassUSA]

The patterns really work in a passage. You can try to do it in arpeggios, of course, but I do not think you would get the benefits

[@ademakello]

i'm in love with you😍😍

[@hjdinmohamad2879]

SHOULD ATTACHED THE FINGERING PATTERNS AT THE VIDEO THERE...

[@conniechan3280]

Is it possible --- praying -- louder so we can hear ....
