#musicalphrasing

When my phrasing sounds “Beaty” or lumpy, I practice this #musicalphrasing drill and systematically reduce the number of strong impulses in each measure. Five videos: 1) “Noob” - Impulse every #eighthnote or 8 pulses per measure. ~swipe left~ 2) “Expert” - Impulse every #quarternote or four times per measure ~swipe left~ 3) “Pro” - Impulse every #halfnote or twice per measure. ~swipe left~ 4) “Artist” - One impulse per measure or #wholenote value. ~swipe left~ 5) “Mozart” - One impulse per phrase!

#practiceviolin #musicalphrasing and bow speed management using a #twinklebow In this passage from #concertoinaminor by J.B. Accolay (mm. 32-40), it’s important to control the speed of the #downbow phrase endings which occur in mm. 34, 36, 38, & 40) Each of these endings is preceded by a rather fast #upbow and therefore can receive too much bow if the player is not careful. Here’s how I practice (two videos and one picture): 1) Twinkle bow limits the length of bow available. I practice with as pure a tone as I can with the small amount of bow available. ~swipe left~ 2) Performance version. After practicing with the twinkle bow it is easier to manage the bow speed changes. Tone is pure and powerful, phrasing is easy and follows the “hairpins” in the part. Rhythm is steady and accurate. The final bow in m 40 can take more bow since it’s effective to begin the ensuing crescendo in the upper half. ~swipe left~ 3) If you don’t have a twinkle bow, simply attach a rubber and as shown to create a small playing zone near the frog! #violinlesson #violinlessonsforkids #violintechnique #violinpedagogy #stringpedagogy #stringplayers #stringsattached #violinteachers #suzukiviolinmethod #suzukiviolinteacher #romanticmusic #violinconcerto #violinsolo #violinguy #violintips #violinlover #violinworld #practiceroom #practicepracticepractice #40hoursofpractice @paoyi_2005 (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQs4XAtASua/?utm_medium=tumblr
