Any improvising instrumentalist uses (among other musical studies) a multitude of scales to enhance their technical skills, as well as become better versed in the harmonic "language" of a particular style of music. The same holds true for the improvising violin player. The "Jazz and Blues Violinist's Scale Book" is developed and written specifically for the improvising violinist, and whether your particular musical style or interest is country, bluegrass, blues or jazz, or even multiple styles, violin players will most certainly benefit from this indispensable collection of jazz and blues scales.
Within this compendium are complete sets (in all keys, with both major and minor tonalities) of major, minor, pentatonic, blues, be-bop as well as diminished and half-step-whole-step scales, all illustrated through two octaves. All scales contain at least one or more sets of fingerings, and several of the chapters contain multiple sets of bowing and phrasing options, as well as rhythmic variations and practice tips. In addition, some basic music theory as it relates to the scales and their harmonic relationship to one another is also provided.
