Galamian scales work wonders, and here's why. March 22, 2010 at 7:43 PM “I just don't get the whole Galamian scale system thing,” a young colleague confessed to me recently at a gig. “But I have noticed this: my teachers who still play in tune, they practice their scales. The ones who don't practice scales don't play in tune.”
I wasn't surprised by this statement. But I did wonder how many people were mystified by the Galamian scale system, so I will share with you what I shared with him. Yes, I practice these scales, I teach these scales and I highly recommend them. Here's the reason: The Galamian scales not only work the left hand, laying an intonation foundation in every possible position on the violin, but they provide a daily outlet for working on bowing techniques and problem-solving as well. There's another reason: Galamian scales are what will keep you playing when you are 80. And another: They will help you avoid injury. The scales are written out in Galamian's books, Contemporary Violin Technique, Volumes 1 and 2.
