Violin major and minor scales?

Question:Hey! I began playing violin about a year ago and i was wondering about major/minor scales. I dont know any of them :( lol. Is this a problem because my teacher never really taught me them. Also can I have some major and minor scales (like the notes) so I can practice them. My music theory sucks alsot :(

Answers:
Bet you do - you just don't realise it!!
OK C major - C D E F G A B C - thats it!

Have a read here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/minor_scale... - also had illustrations - much easier than trying to explain it!
g minor
Why don't you google it?

Here's what I came up with in under a second:

When you're learning the minors, learn the melodic minors.
Don't neglect the arpeggios, either (1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 5, 1...). Ascending and descending.

Practice at least two octaves. More if you can swing it.

It sounds like it's time for private lessons! :)
A major scale is simply the "do-re-mi" scale in any key. It goes like this: Start note, up a whole step, up a whole step, up a half step, up a whole step, up a whole step, up a whole step, up a half step.
The "minor scale" works like this:
Start note, up a whole step, up a half step, up a whole step, up a whole step, up a whole step, up a half step, up a whole step.
Try it, you will hear the difference. Yes, this is a problem. You need to know these scales in order to be a more well-rounded musician.
Also if you do not practice your scales, you will fall behind in music classes because you will become confused by how it is that the circle of keys is determined and why it is important to understand intervals.
Here is a link to some free scales, and also a link to most of the scale books for violin. You should probably start with A Tune a Day Scale Book:
