Buy Scales by Simon Fischer (ISBN: 9780577087611) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: The most comprehensive and useful scale system yet produced - A truly exceptional resource - it's hard to imagine any player from intermediate to virtuoso that wouldn't gain insights from this new system. Fischer's aim here is to demonstrate how scales can be used as a laboratory for improving intonation, shifting, finger placement, velocity, bowing, rhythm, accent... If you ever thought that scales were boring and mechanical, this book should convert you - there's a good deal here that I haven't seen in other systems. Clearly the product of a lifetime of experimentation and experience, this is an open-ended resource that every serious player and pedagogue should explore. Review: Standing on Carl Flesch's shoulders - At last ! A book that does so much more than simply write out the scales and suggest fingerings. I already had Paxton and Carl Flesch, so I hesitated before investing a sizeable sum in this new book. It was a thoroughly worthwhile investment. This is a first-rate teaching resource.

A must have for those who take their playing seriously
A very good approach to a sometimes tedious but essential part of violin playing. Very versatile to suit players of all levels.

This is THE solution to "boring" scale practice. An excellent book and essential for any serious violinist and teacher. next year for the viola, I believe!
