Warm Up Checklist (Beginner Violin/Viola)

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for watching :) This is a warm up checklist I like to go through with my studio. Warm up time is an opportunity to remember how to play...in this video we are going to check your set up, bow arm form and sound, left hand form and intonation. After that you're all set to continue the warm up with open strings and simple left hand exercises trying to keep your good form. After that, scales and etude, a fun simple song or two and the pieces you're working on :)

Recommended Warm Up Books to use after doing the Warm Up Checklist
(link to my amazon store below...you'll also see my recommended chin rest, shoulder rest, tuners, etc.)

1. Leopold Auer Book 1 (open strings and rhythms) and 2 (adding the left hand, reading, scales)

2. Schradieck School of Violin Techniques Book 1

I have a playlist of beginner tutorials for those of you interested in more in depth explanation of all of the things covered in the warm up...
