Hi Leonids, Lyras and Perseids!

Here are chords to your C Major scale.  Practice your slurs with these – and don’t forget the thumb scratchies!

Hi Leonids, Lyras and Perseids!  This is for you to practice with.  Lyras, do the top 2 octaves of your scale.  Nice, straight finger extensions on the G and C strings with a loose thumb behind the second finger.  Practice your thumb scratchies while doing this, and add slurs when you’re getting bored!

I’ve finally recorded this!  Don’t forget the extensions on the C and G string if you are a Lyra, Leonid or Perseid! [audio:http://www.communitymusicworks.org/medialab/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/D-Major-Improv.mp3|titles=D Major Improv]

Hi!  This is the same fingering as in a C Major Scale – you’ll just notice the tonic is D instead of C.  Call and Response style.[audio:http://www.communitymusicworks.org/medialab/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/08-Devious-Preparatory-Page.mp3|titles=D Dorian Warm-up page]
