How to Use Finger Pattern Exercise Videos for Major Scales on Violin and Viola
Channel: North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics
Date: 2015-03-04

This video is designed to be used as part of a method for teaching upper positions, shifting, and eventually major and minor scales on the violin, viola, cello and string bass using the finger pattern concept. The Finger Pattern Concept and Sequential System described in these videos is based on the methodology of Dr. George Bornoff. For more on the Bornoff Approach, visit http://www.fase.org. The system and accompanying resources are sequential, provide a direct and functional system of nomenclature, and provide a harmonic underpinning (musical context) for learning the patterns. For a full explanation of the system and a procedure for implementing these videos watch this brief introduction http://youtu.be/jYQuea0Sxaw. The documents that accompany the lessons can be found at the following link: http://goo.gl/pZ6Kb6   This video is the first in a series related to finger patterns for major scales on the violin and viola.
