Scales should be memorized and practiced daily. Always play slowly and evenly at first, gradually building up speed.
Practice the scale using both rest stroke and free stroke. Play three times, using im, ma, ia.
To accomodate the right hand in its movement from the 6th string to the 1st string you should raise or lower the forearm as seen in photos 31 and 32. This adjustment allows the right hand fingers to remain in the correct shape for playing across the six strings without reaching or hooking.
One octave, C major scale.
