ABRSM Violin Scales Trainer is your all-in-one companion for practising Scales. The app covers all scales requirements at Grades 1-5 from the current Violin syllabus. (Also suitable for Initial Grade within Grade 1!).What does ABRSM Violin Scales Trainer include?
An extensive set of resources to help you practise your scales and learn the requirements for your Practical Grades and enhance your performance:
Practice Area
• Notation for every scale, including suggested fingering and positioning.
• Example performances of every scale, for you to compare your own playing against.
• A built-in metronome to help you see how close you are to exam tempo. Start slow and gradually build up the speed!
• A unique backing track for every scale.
Test Area
If you fancy a quick warm-up or to put yourself to the test, then the Test Area is for you! This area selects a series of scales from the requirements for you to perform. Use the record function, reflect critically and rate your performance.
Practice Meter
The more you use Violin Scales Trainer, the smarter it gets. The Practice Meter lets you see at a glance which scales you’re doing well at, and which ones need more practice.
But why practise scales?
Time devoted to these exercises within each practice session will improve many aspects of technique, such as co-ordination, string crossing, bow control, position changes and tone production. In addition, the sense of key and pattern acquired through familiarity with scales and arpeggios has several benefits: it speeds up the learning of new pieces, builds aural awareness, increases familiarity with the geography of the instrument, and helps develop fine intonation, evenness of line and quality of tone.

Paid for to try it only for it to crash the moment I tried using any of the practice functions. I even upgraded to a new phone, tried again, and it still crashes at the same spot.

Would be good if you could put the scales on continuous loop whilst it is playing. Having to press the play button each time you want the scale to play is difficult when holding violin.

Not working on any of my Motorola phones. It crashes immediately after opening. Can't rate it cos' I don't know how does it work... When it does. Too bad, seemed like a perfect idea.

The app is faulty. It works sometimes. If we open the practise part, the app shuts down. Would be great if this issue could fixed.

Frustrating the arpeggios still don't work on android devices. Been using this for a couple of years and this has not been fixed yet.
Katie Powell
Some scales seem to have a bug which cause the app to close when you try to open them, for example grade 4 dominant seventh scales.
Wendy Milligan
App closes often. Quite frustrating. Has been getting worse. No sign of anything getting fixed.

Doesn't work. Crashes each time I try to open practice scales
