#scalepractice

Creative #scalepractice #violapractice I’m always exploring different ways to #practicescales Here’s an #arpeggios #practiceroutine in which I play each #arpeggio in one direction only and change alternating at the bottom and top. For this I play through all arpeggios in all keys. Each arpeggio is only performed in one direction so the next day I begin in the opposite direction Two videos: 1) Day one - arpeggio series starting at the bottom with C minor. Each arpeggio alternates. There are an odd number of arpeggios, so F minor begins at the top…B flat minor will begin at the bottom…etc. ~swipe left~ 2) Day two - start C minor at the top…F minor begins at the bottom, etc… #violateacher #stringpedagogy #violapower #violapower🎻 #violanation #violaworld #violalove #loveviola #playviola #violist #suzukiviola #violalessons #violalesson #bratscher #альт #violatechnique #galamianscaletechnique #violamasterclass #violaclass (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccz4qOdOKjw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Integrating #scalepractice with #violinrepertoire using #suzukiviolinmethod #twinklevariations with three octave scales and #violinconcerto in #aminor by #vivaldi #youngviolinists who review the basic twinkle variations will easily understand and benefit from #rhythmic variation in scales as taught by #galamian #galamianscaletechnique The basic rhythms in #concertoinaminor by #antoniovivaldi use twinkle variations which can be applied to a Galamian scale practice as show in these two videos. #happypracticing #violinpractice #violinteacher #violinpedagogy #violintechnique #practiceroom #violintips #loveviolin #violinguy #violinscales #stringplayer #stringpedagogy (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUxhr2SAo8D/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fun with #octaves ! I make my #scalepractice more interesting by practicing combinations of intervals together. For octaves I often do the following: Two videos: 1) Octaves & sixths - play the octave and then “walk” the bottom note up to the sixth below the top note. Listen to make sure lifting and dropping fingers do not change the pitch of the 4th finger. This practice explores the internal structure of the 1st to 4th finger “hand frame” ~~swipe left~~ 2) Octaves & tenths - play the octave then reach the first finger back for the tenth. Listen to make sure the upper note (4th finger) pitch does not change during the 1st finger reach back. This practice helps 1st finger flexibility and also helps the type of shifting where the 1st finger reaches back into a lower position. Note: When practicing octaves, I always play the top note first, then the bottom. This ensures the 4th finger is placed in a condition of balance. Tuning the bottom note of the octave first can lead to a perpetually stretched (and out of tune) 4th finger. #violinpractice #violinteacher #violinlessons #practiceroom #practiceviolin #practiceviolineveryday #practicemakesprogress #violinpractice🎻 #suzukiviolinteacher #violinmasterclass #violintechnique #violinpedagogy #stringplayer #playintune #violinlove #loveviolin #скрипач #скрипаль #violinstagram #violinclass #violapractice #stringpedagogy #violinplayer (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM13tHeg0tn/?igshid=q0zfvg4446qj
