Thanks, Owen, I have been listening to a couple of dozen new tunes I need to learn to play in the group. I worked on this one using sheet music in chunks, mostly to get the slurs down. I was struggling until I hit the right pattern on the first few triplets, then it fell together. I gotta get rid of that poker face, I most definitely have a good…[Read more]

That is so challenging, Steve; a newly composed tune! How did you learn it, by ear or sheet music, or both. The viola sounded really cool. For some reason, I find learning by ear (a section at a time) helps me to remember a tune. I know Jason said that to play and remember a tune one has to listen to it, over and over, till you can sing, hum, or…[Read more]

Well done Owen, with all those double stops! 👏
I also hear a Scottish undertone, which is really nice! -

Thank you. This is one of the many new tunes I’m trying to learn so I can play with my local Spelmanslag. Composer Roger Tallroth is a Swede and I have heard him the the band Väsen a couple of times. He composed this song to the christening of his niece Josefine (“dopvals” means “christening waltz”).

Beautiful tune and great sharing of it on your viola 👍🏽 Your flow and rhythm work well for this waltz. I’m trying to figure out what dopval means. Thanks for posting this goal of yours for the community!

Yes, that figures! I found F pentatonic goes well with his version he just recorded for me to practice with.

I warm up with scales practice G to A with different rhythm variations, in particular, I find pedal rhythm helps me get my ear if I don’t have a drone.
I always play through the scale of the tune I’m working on especially pentatonic. -

I simply go over the tunes I know and try to iron out any bumps, focusing on one or two tunes at a time. Then I spend a while learning a new tune (Blackest Crow at the moment) and finally just for fun I play the tunes I like best and sometimes experiment with a bit of variation, like slightly changing the rhythm or setting a different emphasis…[Read more]

I’m a scaleaholic!! I play scales before
anything else is played.
When learning a song I play a line or two then play the related scale with rhythm and different bowing. I practice major, minor and love pentatonics and the blues scale!!!
I also play triads G up to E and back. I have not worked as much as I should with modes but that is a goal -
jason kleinberg replied to the topic How Do You Practice Scales?? in the forum Share Your Practice 1 month, 2 weeks ago
As for myself, I practice scales for tunes I’m working on.
I still practice the pentatonic a lot, adding different types of variation.
