For Students, Parents, Adults

Finger positions for major and minor scales and arpeggios for violin, and now viola and cello too!


Here's what students around the globe are saying:

My violin teacher and I have concluded this is a very good work, of great value, especially to beginners.
Ivo Barbi, Florianopolis, BRAZIL

The Violin Scale Charts were extremely useful.   I bought them for a friend who had just started to learn the fiddle and she found them a real boon for self study.
Ed White, Gairloch Ross-shire, UNITED KINGDOM

Very helpful, for both myself and my daughter . . . really excellent especially as we are starting to branch out into more esoteric keys.
John D. Ferguson, Dept. of Computer and Information Sciences, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, UNITED KINGDOM

 

 

Violin Scale Charts were very helpful to me, as I was a complete novice (adult student) and was teaching myself. Now I have a teacher and am using a regular scale book, but your charts helped get me started and get on the notes.
Cheryl Donahue Droichead Ban, Glens Dingle, Co. Kerry, IRELAND

What a great idea!
Dr. William Wood, Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA

Your Violin Scale Charts™ have been extremely helpful to me in my violin practice. I ended up laminating them and refer to them continuously.  Thanks again for a great product!
Juanita R., Streetsboro, OH, USA

I really do appreciate the time you spent with me. It is a pleasure to do business with such a company.
Tom Trice, Black Rock, AR, USA

Yes, the violin scale charts were extremely helpful. I took formal lessons on the violin from 1951-1955, then stopped. I picked it up again in December 2000 after 35 years of playing guitar. The charts helped me to determine exactly where I needed to place may fingers to obtain a given note. The various scales presented along with the charts were also very helpful. All in all, it was a worthwhile investment.
Tony Perrocco, New York, USA

 

 

I have misplaced my copy of Violin Scale Charts. I thought it was very helpful. Therefore, I would like to order another one.
C.K., Herndon, VA, USA

 

And their teachers agree:

Great teaching tool, all my students use Violin Scale Charts . . . parents benefit, too!"
Laura Polick, Violin Teacher, Wheaton Suzuki Institute, Wheaton, IL, USA

Very helpful for all beginners, adults, too . . . . effectively introduces positions I-IV. Thank you very much!
Ann Grier Carmen, Violin Teacher, West Nyack, NY, USA

As a violin teacher always looking for helpful teaching aids, I purchased it recently.  It is very valuable in helping students visualize finger positions. 
Emily Bailey, Violin Teacher, Lynden, WA

More expression, more confidence. While every effort has been made to make this graphic reference work authoritative, it must be noted that there is no single, one and only, and exclusively "correct" way to finger a scale. Should your teacher differ with anything presented here, please follow his/her approach.

One of the greatest benefits of using Violin Scale Charts, especially at the elementary level, will be to build a strong and secure "4" finger, a more beautiful tone, and stronger and more confident expression. As a musician who happens to play the violin, expression is what you are all about anyway, isn't it? Have fun with these charts. They will make you a more expressive, more confident musician.
