#practicingviolin #falseharmonics in #czardas by #vittoriomonti 6 videos: 1) Play the bottom notes with the simplest fingering possible. Practice this step with phrasing, as if it were intended to be performed this way. ~swipe left~ 2) Again bottom notes only - this time using 1st finger and open strings, as appropriate. Once again play as if it were supposed to be this way. ~swipe left~ 3) Begin each note with the bottom and add the harmonic on the same bow stroke. Keep the bow speed and weight the same. No phrasing in this step. Focus on clear tone in the harmonics. No need to repeat notes as they appear in the score. ~swipe left~ 4) Now, play harmonics smoothly with the goal of getting from one note to the next clearly. Go back and repeat notes/shifts as necessary to play as smoothly and clearly as possible. No need to phrase or repeat notes in this step. ~swipe left~ 5) Performance version. Play with performance bowings and phrasing. ~swipe left~ 6) Advanced performance version with vibrato on select notes. Let me know in the comment if you’d like me to create a post dedicated to vibrating false harmonics! If false harmonics are new to you, you will want to remain on each step for several days or weeks. If you’re an expert, you can get through all these steps in a few minutes! If you get stuck on a step, just go back to the previous step for a while until it is easy for you. #monticzardas #czardasmonti #harmonics #violinteacher #violinlove #violin #practicemakesprogress #violintechnique #violinmasterclass #violinpedagogy #violinist #talentedviolinist #talentedmusicians #violinlessonsforkids #violinlessonsforadults #violinlessonsonline #virtuosoviolinist #100daysofpractice #playviolin #lesstalkmoremuzik #lesstalk (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXd_wiqANSo/?utm_medium=tumblr

#violinpractice #falseharmonics #toneproduction can suffer when playing false #harmonics on #stringedinstruments due to the light pressure/weight of the harmonic finger confusing the fundamental (lower) finger and/or bow arm. The first finger and bow arm should play as if there is no harmonic sounding. Here’s how I passages such as the harmonics in #czardas by #vittoriomonti 3 videos: 1) Warm up: scale - play the fundamental pitch twice, then the harmonic twice, keeping the bow weight and speed exactly the same - do not lighten the bow weight for the harmonic. ~swipe left~ 2) Practice the passage with fundamental pitches only (open strings and first fingers). Play with healthy tone as if the passage were meant to be performed this way. Focus on firm finger placement with smooth, gliding shifts. ~swipe left~ 3) Performance version - Use the bow exactly as you did in step 2 with no change to the weight and pressure. Don’t tell your bow arm you are playing harmonics!
