E Minor Violin Scale: 2nd Octave

Now let's try to go up an octave we only played our scale in one octave but there are many octaves to choose from. So since we landed on our fourth finger on the A string to go up another octave we'll continue just from there. So fourth finger to the next finger which is finger number one let's try it. Here's our fourth finger E (playing violin) F sharp, G shipped up with your first finger on the third position, A, B shift to second and that is your next octave on your scale. Remember go up another octave just proceed with your fingerings. If you landed on two you go up to your three four one, one two it's as simple as that.
