Practicing a complex #violin bowing and #stringcrossing pattern in #violinconcerto in #aminor by J. B. Accolay (mm 133-152). Three videos: 1) First I practice the slur pattern using a customized version of #perpetualmotion by #shinichisuzuki from #suzukiviolinschool #book1 I modify this piece to create a 6/8 meter in which I can practice the bowing pattern in this passage, making sure to accent slightly and vibrate the main beats. I also change the key to A minor. Any etude will do, but I like to keep things simple so I can focus on the bowing right away without having to learn a new piece. Students who regularly review Suzuki repertoire will be able to learn this version in a few practice sessions, if not after a few minutes. ~swipe left~ 2) String crossings - there are many “drops” to the E string, usually for a repeated open E. It is essential that the entire arm drop to the E string even though this passage is fast. This ensures the best control and tone quality throughout. I announce the string crossings out loud as follows: “Drop” - arm drops to E string “Reach” - hand reaches to a lower string. Notice how it’s just my hand. My forearm doesn’t go up to the lower string. Announcing the string crossings out loud engages more of the brain and makes the practice more thoughtful and powerful. It also slows students down so they think about what they’re doing! ~swipe left~ 3) Performance version - The bowing and string crossing patterns are organized. Tone is pure on all strings. There is no skidding or chipping of notes on the E string. #violinteacher #suzukiviolinteacher #violinsolo #violinsoloist #violinpedagogy #violintechnique #stringplayer #stringteacher #beautifulmusic #stringpedagogy #viola #violinista #orchestramusic #practiceroom #violinmaster #violinmasterclass #violinlesson @paoyi_2005 (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRTiXVrga2b/?utm_medium=tumblr
