Scale Variation #7: Not an original rhythm, but a useful one with 3 different slur patterns

Sheet music

I use other rhythms, like Ivan Galamian’s, but this one separates the octaves by repeating the “home note.” It helps you be sure to know where each octave starts and ends, which helps you understand the scale better. Then you can break it up into octaves in your head. I also like how it sounds, because you are emphasizing the tonic so much.
