*New *Foundation Warm-Ups for Strings
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.

Open Strings Warm-Up
|
This is a quick warm-up taking you through the open stings in whole notes. It starts on C going through the circle of fifths (C - G - D - A - E), then cycling back down.

Full Symphony Orchestra Warm-Up
|
This was developed to bring a full orchestra (strings, winds, etc) together in a virtual setting. Where it doesn't check ALL the boxes for ALL the instruments, it does check several boxes for all groups. This could be used by individuals or in a class setting. It could also be a great option for "getting everyone on the same page" when putting a full orchestra together. Maybe you're introducing the strings and winds for the first time.. either way, hopefully you can get some use out of these! There's a fun accompaniment :)

Scales Practice (Lofi)
|
This resource will eventually include all 12 major scales (half notes, and half + quarter). Each scale will be an individual video, so you can build Youtube playlists to include the specific scales you wish to work on. You can change order (circle of fifths, chromatic, etc) and make it completely customizable.

Foundation Warm-Ups (Band Cross-over)
These are a cross-over warm-up from a beginning band warm-up. So, it's not totally ideal for strings, but it does have a cinematic backing track. Better pedagogically sound warm-ups are coming in 2022! (sometime)
