I Love My Scales (in Small Bites)
by Karen Khanagov

Especially for beginners!

Violinist Karén Khanagov holds masters degrees from both Azerbaijan State Conservatory and the University of Oklahoma. After becoming a refugee, he eventually settled in Oklahoma City, where he currently serves on faculty at Oklahoma City University. As a freelance violinist, he also records, composes, and arranges.

An active and prolific music publisher, Karén Khanagov has created a series of books for every level of string player. With appealing and accessible melodies, progressively more challenging passagework, and practice hints, the entire range of books are written as a skilled teacher would present them, and will appeal to serious player, from beginner to professional.

Unique among scale books, with an included play along practice CD, to help reinforce listening skills and intonation. The goal of I Love My Scales is simple: to help the young student to master their scales, so that playing the violin “will make people happy!”

Note: This book is printed with four different covers, as shown in the images on this page. The book that is shipped will be selected at random, so no specific cover is guaranteed.

The CD that comes with the book is unplayable

The book is lovely and helpful. However, as the CD plays on it begins to have static, blanks spots and cuts in and out so one cannot follow along while practicing. I wanted the CD so I can hear myself play the notes correctly but the CD is not helpful at all so that is disappointing.

Great Scale Book

This is a great scale book! It really helped my son improve his fingerings and tuning. The accompaniment CD was very helpful for my son when practice his fingerings and speed.

My daughter started violin at 4 and now 8 years later we still realize how imperative basics are.....scales! She used this scale book religiously. The progression of the scale lessons is very easy to follow and builds nicely. It introduces scales and scale
building in a fun way so it does not overwhelm a beginner and it's very easy to follow and understand. It is a great aid to encourage daily scale practice. Different bowing techniques can be practiced while playing the scales and the piano CD is a great built-in
metronome. This scale book is a MUST!

Scales played on piano not violin

I purchased a book specifically for scales for violin to practice intonation with a violin not to play with a piano. Disappointed as I have many similar books.

Who knew scales could sound beautiful

We have 4 children between ages of 8 and 10 who have used this book and I'll never forget their expressions the first time they played with the piano accompaniment. Their eyes opened wide because it was beautiful! It made them sound like they were performing a formal piece and it certainly made a routine building block of practice more fun. I think it is a good thing that they are not playing along with another violin because it trains their ears to auto-tune to the accompaniment, which seems more practical and useful for playing in ensembles later.
