Scales and Arpeggios

• These scales will help you build a sound technique and should be part of your daily practice routine.

• Learn one scale at a time, along with the corresponding arpeggio.

• Play them very slowly at first, and build up your speed gradually. Never try to play them faster than you can do so accurately.

• They should be commited to memory as soon as possible.

• Practise them in both slurred and tongued form.
