Double-Stops for the Viola – by Fred Thomas

Exercises for the development of general technique, intonation, ear training and improvisation. The order of intervals goes from simple to complex, starting with the most consonant (unison) and ending with the most dissonant (tri-tone). Intervals are paired with their corresponding inverse, e.g. 5ths/4ths (shown by vertical lines with arrows), and taken through the circle of 5ths.
Examples from Western Classical Music of each interval are given.
