GUIDE TO SCALES IN DOUBLE STOPS
FOR THE VIOLIN

This is a step-by-step guide to playing scales in thirds, sixths, and octaves.

When playing thirds, the bottom voice plays tonic to tonic, while the top plays
mediant to mediant. Sixths are the other way around. It is important to learn each
voice individually with the exact fingerings which will be used when playing the
voices together.

Before practicing octaves, I recommend learning scales in harmonics, as these
involve the same distance from the first to fourth finger without the strain of playing
octaves.

In order to keep fingerings identical for each key, open strings are avoided.
