Broken Thirds
I am back at broken thirds scales again. Now that I feel that the tuning of the G-Major 3 octaves and D-Major 2 octaves are settling I am going on some dexterity. Broken thirds is a great way to start this process. Tuning can sometime get wacky in this exercise. So I must be careful and fix any tuning issues that arise.
I also did a little work on bowing patterns. I did the following bowing grouping:
- 4
- 2
- 3
- 2-1-1
- 1-1-2
- 2-3
- 3-2
- 5
There is a book I use called "Loius Belson Modern Reading Text in 4/4." I like to use the patterns in that book from my scales as well. I am planning to start doing that again next week. At that time I will move into a couple of new major scales.

Thanks for the information and the video, teacher, it is good to see a practice session, I've founded it interesting because the tunning, all that work, all the commas, it really is a difficult instrument. I have allways wanted to play the cello, but my age and the price persuades me, hehehe.
