Multă prețuire
Thank you for this! i keep coming back to this video to learn each scale haha
About the A Major scale do we play it 0, 4,8,12,24 ???
I swear the is the most useful video this saved my life like at least 7 times and I aclways come back to this video
Is your teacher trying to kill you?
i’m trying out for the high orchestra in my school and have to learn these with no prior knowledge of shifting.Please pray for me 😭
Damn
I’m trying out for all state 9-10th grade going into 9th
SAME!
How did it go??
YUH you got this
Thank you! This is the only in depth tutorial I could find on the entire website, and it was well done.
35 seconds into the video and I had to hit "thumb up"!
I agree because I have been looking for this for a long time thank you so much
I'm from Brazil. I live in Northwesth, Camocim city...Here dont have a teacher by violin with You...thanks for your class. I love!
Вы прекрасный учитель игры на скрипке, и это отличный урок. Спасибо)))
This video is such a life saver. Thank you!
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
I actually found this topic yesterday on google in written form, in a sheet score. It was very hard to find a video about fingering and now this one bumped into me only after I found it on google yesterday.
So nice of you maa. I'm very thankful to your kind guidance.
Your videos and teaching style are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this, very clear and useful!
This is GOLD!
Thanks alot for making this video!It really helped me😁
This was perfect thank you. This has been the the my first teacher does it; also Russian technique. More importantly, your violin pitch matches mine! So that helps immensely. Thank you.
Phantastic explanation, thank you a thousand times, dear Prof. Bushkova!
I love your class
Wonderful! I'm practicing to not bend at the wrist especially when playing the pinky finger, and I saw how you did that in this video. Thank you so much!
MelodiaSpring for x4, your thumb can come very far around.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Professor. For a great tutorial.
Maravilhoso!!!!Parabéns ,ótima professora!!!
Ей спасибо.
Thank you so much 😃👍
Thank you Prof
Thank you so much спасибо большое
Thank you, so much for this video, ma’am...I have looked for fingerings for scales and found none.
Thank you very useful!
Thank you great video ..i usually only play 2 octave scales ..as most tunes i play are folk music ..which is most 1st position ..Many Thanks !
Best advice at 15:14 "don't read fingering from a book, work out what you are going to do before you start and practice (memorize) that"
Thank you Master
awesome, thank you very much!
Yes! Thank you!
this helps a lot
thank u!
thank you for this video
It sounds good!
Very good I will try these fingerings
thank you so much Madam! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Mam, You are so wonderful 🙏🏻❤ thank you for such a useful tutorial 😊
Thank you again for this most useful tutorial, it's really encouraging to hear from you the best way to learn scales without a book as that's the way I'm going X
You are my favorite violin professor!!!
Thank u for this😊
Just...thank you !!
You are a good teacher.
Mona Yann
You've been so useful so far and I really like your teaching style. Thank you!
Спасибо Вам большое 🙏
Very helpful
Thank you! Thank you! I finally found full scales. I've been doing on my own experimenting by shifting between 4th finger e string to first finger back to 4th to get comfortable with awkward shift.
Que hermosa mujer😘😘😘😘😘.... muy lindo tocas, saludos desde argentina.... 🌷
Wonderful
Thanks so much.
You're welcome!
This is a wonderful teacher
Thank you!!!
You sound like an oboe when doing these scales. It sounds beautiful!
Iam going to see again but It is very clear thank you 👏👏👏👏🙏
Thank you...your instructors are clear and simple . This is how I teach scales to my students. I needed to know that I was not the only one who kept it uncomplicated. Beautifully done!
Thank you for your comment. I am always glad to find colleagues who share the same principles of teaching
Very good teaching Thank you so much . I Love this video from INDIA
You are most welcome
Bravo.
I've been trying to learn third position and you have make it so very much simpler. Thank you very much. I truly appreciate all your videos.
Grandioso profe. Gracias !
Thank you so much for such clear explanation!
Hoy estuve estudiando la es cala de sol mayor con uwsted. Muchas gracias de parte de Marco. violinista callejero, saludos desde Cuernavaca Morelos México. Muchas gracias.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, Ms. Bushkova. It is very helpful!
I like your teaching.Thank you.
Thankyou
Excellent tutorial
Super
Thank you so much for this clear explanation on how to play a 3 octave scale. 🎻
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.
@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.
Great info! Thanks!
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.
Hello Julia. May u have a close up view of fingerings ? I'm dying to learn from u
Can you please make a video on arpeggios three octave
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.
Yes, you can absolutely use the fingering starting with the second finger. You would start in 2nd position.
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!
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).
Даю Вам честное слово, что неуловимое сходство с Марком есть. Ещё бы, тётя и племянник. Вероятно, верхняя часть лица - глаза. Однако, у Марка глаза выше всех похвал, - бархат и нежность. По одному Вашему комментарию, который я читала, поняла, что Вы его любите. Я тоже. Л.А. Ш.
Да, правильно угадали :)
Hi miss, do you tach online ?
I would like to get in touch with you if possible ?
Thank you .
I do it a different way for the g major going back down, I go down through e string to first position, and then did the normal first position or 2 octave g major scale.
Of course - one can do many many different fingerings on the same scale.
Hi i have a question here. When you play a G major scale, could we said that the E is different to the open E string???? I have serious doubts about this whole thing
Lucas Rosales which e?
The E should match the E open
Great video thanks ( you have the same haircut of my mother : - D )
thank you! From an Mech Engineering student from Lancaster United Kingdom
Memories of Carl Flesch...
I have been taught many different finger patters and each teacher says the last was wrong. How do we find the "correct" fingerings for all 3 octave scales and *what makes them correct* ?
There are no truly "wrong" fingerings in scales, only more or less comfortable and more or less useful to you.
What video did she mentions at 8:30? do anyone have the link? THX :P

just a time stamp for myself:)
Bom dia, sempre me perco na afinação. 🇧🇷
Someone may have asked already but which fingering pattern should I learn for G major scale on E string beyond 3rd position and why?
Are you a beginner asking about a 3-octave scale?
@@ViolinClassUSA yes. I'm still learning third position now. I asked because you showed us 2 options.
Thank you so much.. I think I might get in freshman chamber orchestra!
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!
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.
@@ViolinClassUSA Thank you very much for your answer. I've also watched your other videos on scales and pattern scale. 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.
Great job ma'am , please how can someone learn from you?
I wanna know if you can teach via online . Thanks
I like ur accent
5:14
Wow you should read books lol. Your voice is so soothing.
😊 thanks! Check out my poetry reading (albeit in Russian! ) ua-cam.com/video/SKr5mJTDpVo/v-deo.html
@@ViolinClassUSA oh wow I was just kidding I didn't even know you had a book. But I definitely will. Thank you.
Can we see your hand from upper side 🙃 (the finger board)
You remind me of my teachers from school. Ive been looking for this style of teaching here in the UK but with little avail. Do you do online tutorials?
Basia, sometimes but rarely, for the lack of time. Please contact me via my website, maybe we would figure something out.
3 octaves means 24 notes,but I was counting for g major but found only 21 and an extended note.I'm slightly confused.could you please elucidate?
Two consecutive 8ves have one common note.
@Stephen Fernandez
3-octave scale has 21 notes as in A-B-C-D-E-F-G.
We make 24 notes by using a "turn" in the beginning and the ending of a scale.
May i know normally you hold the violin more with hand or shoulder ?? Thanks first
Sometimes I hold it more with the hand, sometimes, it rests more on the shoulder... It changes from moment to moment.
@@ViolinClassUSA To find the right balance shifting between hand & shoulder from moment to moment is still very tough to me, sometime i thought i got it but then its not.
i cant understand the name from the other teacher with other fingering varitians
nice prodessor
I perfer to play the Bb major the way down to the first position on E.
Me, too. But, it is important to know both ways.
I absolutely agree ,,, Actually I teach my students all the options ,,,
