I've been playing lots of exercises these past few months. I was reluctant to get started on exercises, but at my instructors urging, I started. I now find that I can't get enough of them. I really enjoy playing from Schradieck's The School of Violin-Technic. I also like to play scales and arpeggios. I find them very relaxing, almost mesmerizing (a Zen thing?).
Any of you have similar experiences with exercises? Do you really get into exercises, too?
