Hello Dee, I have a pretty good warm up book. It’s just a wee booklet put out by Mel Bay’s people and written by Carol Ann Wheeler. It’s called ‘Warm-ups for the Violinist’. It’s not just scales and arpeggios but also lots of other calisthenics and such. It has a CD in the back. You might find it on-line.

It’s true, my fiddle sounded like shit when I first got it. Of course, I hadn’t learned to play it yet.

Thank you Ulla. That’s it. Whoever transcribed this from the film doesn’t hear it exactly like I do but it’s basically the same tune. Go to YouTube and check out “Ella’s Waltz” It is a lovely scene.
