Violin Improv in A Major

Now, I'm going to do a little improvisation, okay, with these three arpeggio notes that we have, which are, remember, A natural, C sharp, and E natural. I'm going to add a little flavor by using a few extra notes, but basically I'm going to keep my improv around those three notes. That's improv. Now remember, you can start off by just playing around. Improv is free, it's fun, have a good time with it, and try to hear the note in your head, okay, before you play it. That'll give you a sense of where you're going in the improv, so it sounds good and it makes sense.
