What's the best way to practice 3rds on the violin or viola? What preparatory exercises are crucial so that you can effectively practice double-stop scales? How can you fix your technique in that pesky passage in Paganini?? I will try to answer by showing you my favorite ways to practice 3rds. We'll also discuss the various technical challenges and best practices.

I meant to say that Pythagorean is the alternate system to Just Diatonic, not the same! As mentioned, you are encouraged to investigate the art and science of string intonation further. Here is my friend @Violinna doing a very good explanation of these two main systems that we live in, and how to navigate them.

I made a video dedicated to two-note/two-finger scales that will greatly help your coordination and recognition of these shapes. ►https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSRAw0Gb7Ts Check out my NEW ALBUM for the Orchid Classics label: Rhythm & The Borrowed Past with pianist Constantine Finehouse ►https://orchid-music.lnk.to/danielkurganov Support the channel with crypto: BITCOIN donations here: bc1qrvgwp4elx8p7jt4u22hshkfrqrphm3fr9c4djz ETHEREUM donations here: 0x3880842448b74D306F5154b4B71181E0E03F9795 ?
