| jazz scales violin: Arpeggios, Rhythms, and Scales Mike Laird, 2010-02-18 As a technique builder for improvisation on the violin, this book is comprehensive. It provides: the arpeggios for 7th chords with useful fingerings, a variety of modal, blues and jazz scales, and rhythm exercises to develop technique. Improvisation is often taught with various scales. In addition, this book teaches the 7th arpeggios of many chords in all keys, and in several positions to help navigate the fingerboard and get to chord tones. A short music theory section describes the reasons that the 7th arpeggio is essential to improvisation. You can use these notes in many sequences and rhythms to improvise. The exercises are appropriate for beginners with good shifting skills. Three octaves are provided, but beginners can start with one or two octaves. Since students of fiddling or jazz violin often do not have a teacher for specific improvisation technique, this book provides useful, wide-ranging suggestions to help a developing violin improviser improve their musical techniques. |
