You know you're hearing a good musician when you're on the edge of your seat listening to scales.

[Towmatodowg]

Not only she nailed the left hand passage but her sound production in high positions is absolutely amazing as well!!!

[jurgenkriess]

Wow. Julia Bushkova.... She was my teacher at Interlochen Arts Camp in 1996

[srinitaaigaura]

Jascha Heifetz would have been seriously impressed by this effort. A compliment doesn't get better than that.

[deveshgupta]

She smiles at the end, as if it was just a walk in the park.

From an amateur violinist standpoint i cant believe what i see and hear. Looks like a miracle xddd. Very inspiring though for sure! go back practicing my scales now. Everyone have a great day <3

To a layman she's a godess walking amongst humans. The fact that there may be slight imperfections just makes it more believable, genuine. I wish there was versions of these for 1st-2nd year beginners and later, there are many books and scores but it's never clear what should you play at a certain level that is not too easy, not too hard.

[dsthorp]

I really enjoy the harmonic progression of the arpeggios.

[sadhbhdelahunt]

I loved the different bowing all demonstrated after each other so I heard the difference immediately.

[whitehare]

Wow fantastic technique. Loving the different bowings and rhythms near the end. Will use some of those with my students. Makes scales so much more interesting and enjoyable. 👍

The scales at the beginning & arpeggios moving from major to minor are very much like the Taffanel Gaubert 17 daily exercises I used to do. Every day I played that book for seven years whilst at music college.

[ajsmusicstudio]

Lovely scale performance! I, too, was on the edge of my seat. Thank you for this valuable demo!

[forevergrain]

omg, I'm 2000 years away :)... thanks for sharing this! <3

[tropicjam]

crisp and accurate;well done.also very nice sounding and beautiful looking violin(high arching, wonderfull varnish:never sell this intrument!)

[MrRespectable-gwxd]

This was great! I've just started and can't even contemplate how long it is going to take me to nail each of those finger placements perfectly. I struggle just finding the 2nd and 3rd finger positions on the A.

[ramirodelbosque]

Just splendid. She was right. What a treat!

[ritanmartinez]

Great stuff! Wonderful playing, shows mere mortals how it's meant to be done!

[janjackson]

Oh, my goodness. This was just stunning! Love this technique!! Very impressive!

[kinmunau]

Eye opening ! That is absolutely professional. I don't think I can do that for the rest of my life!

[kawaikids]

Thank you for providing so systematic videos. I am watching it with my kids . We use the video as another teaching video in addition to our own weekly violin lesson . My kids are dreaming to be a violinist and I could not afford another lesson each week. Your video has been of great help ! We are watching one or two weeks a week. My kids are 7 and 6 years old. I will see how long it will take for them to be able to play this Russian scale routine. I want to send you postcard when my kids could do this !😍😍Thanks a lot 💕💕
