Scale & Arpeggio Music (these match the Scale & Arpeggio Recordings)
Scale & Arpeggio Recordings
The Scale & Arpeggio Recordings correspond to the Scale & Arpeggio Music (see above) that have helped many of my students play better in tune. Over the years, I have sold these recordings all around the world, including North & South America, Europe, and Asia. Just recently, I have also made these files available for download for Violin and Cello, and other instruments will follow soon. There are two ways to purchase:
Scale CD Order Page for All Strings
Download Violin Recording from CD Baby & Download Cello Recording from CD Baby
Note
Reading Flash Cards
These files are in pdf (Adobe Acrobat)
format.** I suggest printing these on card stock for
durability. On the back are fingerings as well as note names for the instrument.
However, I also use these flashcards for teaching clefs to other instrumnets such
as treble clef reading for viola, cello and bass.
