Do you want to improve your routine with warming up and cooling down exercises but find practising scales for hours each week becoming unmotivating, increasingly dull and uninteresting?
Today in this tutorial I talk about warming up, cooling down and which pieces or exercises to use for both instead of practising scales. This tutorial also includes demonstrations of double stop scales, etudes and pieces.
I have listed below these exercises as a starting point which could be intergrated into your own routine. These can be used in place of using scale to warm up and/or cool down before and after practising, group rehearsals or a performance.
Excerpts:
1) Bach – Partita no ii, D minor
2) Shostakovich – Fruhlingswaltzer
Etudes
3) Kreutzer – Allegro moderato, etude no. 2; Allegro, etude no. 4 – violin etudes
4) Sevcik – Violin Studies, Op. 1, etudes no. 1 to 4
Exercises:
5) D Major Double Stop Scales – ascending and descending, two octaves
6) D Major Scales – ascending and descending, three octaves (up to 10th position)
Side note: If you follow me on my instagram, soundcloud and mixcloud pages you should know that I am a drum and bass and party DJ; I enjoy observing, commenting on and providing business insights on things such as high end, high street and mainstream fashion brands (or more recently I’m a huge fan of the analysis of retail brands’ business decisions). There is content on my Youtube channel mainly about ready-to-wear piece, footwear, accessories, bags and (soon to be included) cosmetics.
