Foundation Warm-Ups for Strings

Foundation Warm-Ups for Strings - Set #1

This is the cinematic accompaniment for the first set of the Foundation Warm-Ups for Strings. It emphasizes first learned skills for the string ensemble. It can be used as pizzicato exercises OR play with the bow. This is a great chance to practice proper playing position, hand position, basic bowing, and more. The accompaniment track also gives a good chance to practice timing/pulse, intonation, listening, etc. ​

Foundation Warm-Ups for Strings - Set #2

Set #2 focuses on getting a solid foundation of first using the bow. The first exercises are primarily on the open D and A string (including string crossing). Next, the exercises slowly build and use patterns that eventually result in the full D Major Scale descending and ascending. 

For now, there is only a "drone + metronome" 
accompaniment, but there will eventually be a "cinematic" one as well. I recommend using the drone and metronome often as it gives a firm pitch AND pulse to help develop the ear and rhythmic sensitivity.
