      Develop mastery and control over the viola fingerboard, in all keys. Whether you are playing classical, jazz, fiddle tunes, or other styles, these twenty-first century strategies can significantly improve your technique and musicality, and provide the foundation for improvisation. Play-along audio tracks are included for accompaniment, as you begin to explore this previously uncharted but essential territory. This approach is core to Berklee's viola curriculum.

      The book covers: Fingering strategies for comfortably playing in all keys; Scale diagrams for easily visualizing your fingerboard; Major, minor, and pentatonic scales, modes, and arpeggios; Etudes applying these scales and arpeggios in an improvisational context; Essential chord and scale relationships that are useful for improvising; Exercises to help memorize and internalize the scales; and more!
