Starting on Beriot study 2 of 60. This one is a fugue style similar to Bach with good practice for chords and double stops. Lots of changes between first, second, and third position make this exercise difficult yet very interesting.
@potato_vn_x Adding scales is a great way to improve. I do scales daily. While I'm not sure about that method book, what's worked well for me is doing a quick warmup on all scales (or previous scales) and then deep dive work into one scale for a week or two before moving to the next scale.
@nikutaberuru Japan spares music instruments from tax? In California, the government taxes everything from homes to reusable grocery bags. But they haven't figured out how to tax instruments... yet 😅
