hi child hellos welcome to grade one scales and arpeggios um for the abrsm course you don't oh these are not just for people during the exam of course we all need to know our skills and are likely to learn them by memory okay so we're going to do a g major so

get yourself ready i'm going to call out the fingering and the note names so open uh open g

one down for the a three down for the b four down for the c keep all those fingers down while you're doing this don't don't be lifting fingers up make sure you're you're in full position there four on the c open d now lift the fingers move across e with your first f sharp with your third and fourth on the g and then back down again three on the f sharp your fingers should already be there three and then sharp one on the e open d move across to the next string four in the c three on the b one on the a open g okay

okay those are the notes now the pattern the separate bows um that's pretty self-explanatory what i'd um

recommend is that you aim for uh when you're when you're practicing you're learning about a third of the row but start in the middle so don't give you know don't make things difficult around about the middle certainly the middle sort of third the sludge is a little bit harder so we've got to do two notes per bow so coming up the scale

different bow different string

okay so it's quite a lot to sort of think about there um but i i think you can probably figure this out can't you so that's it that's all you've got to do but what i do recommend is that you learn it by heart and that you're nice and steady and you're nice and smooth okay so what i'm going to do is i'm going to uh keep the tape on for grayson and i'll turn that up a bit and this is a really good opportunity for you to practice with a backing track it's just so useful

okay guys i hope that was enough um i'm going to do the d major next and then the a minor natural
