Need to #practiceviolin #scalesandarpeggios but don’t have a lot of time? Cut your #arpeggios practice time in half by playing only the descending #arpeggio All joking aside, this is actually a valuable way to practice. Scale and arpeggio practice can become stale and routine and this is a fun way to shake things up. It also focuses attention on the shape of the hand at the top of each arpeggio and encourages a comfortable pinky placement for each arpeggio. #violinteacher #violinpedagogy #violintechnique #stringpedagogy #galamian #galamianscaletechnique #flesch #violinlessons #violintips #violintipsandtricks #suzukiviolinteacher #violinmaster #violapractice #cellopractice #stringplayer #stringplayersofinstagram #violinpracticejournal #practiceroom #practisepractisepractise #loveviolin #violinguy (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcDkTnYLOK4/?utm_medium=tumblr

I often #practicescales and #arpeggios #startingfromthetop This allows me to be more alert to my hand and arm position in the upper register. Also, since I’m changing to the next #arpeggio at the top, my mind is most alert at the most challenging part of each arpeggio. Additionally, changing from one arpeggio to the next makes it clear how the upper position hand shape changes from one to he next. For additionally reinforcement, I announce these changes out loud as shown.

Practicing a complex bowing/rhythm pattern in scales to make it easier in #czardas by #vittoriomonti Repeating the pattern many times makes it comfortable to play when it occurs in the piece. When #practicingscales with variations, the shifts and string crossings often occur in inconvenience places creating additional problems to solve and making the repertoire passage even easier to play! #violinpractice #monticzardas #czardasmonti #violinsolo #violinpedagogy #galamian #galamianscaletechnique #violinteacher #violinguy #violintechnique #violinmasterclass #practiceroom #violinlesson #violintips #practiceviolin #40hoursofpractice #lingling40hours #suzukiviolinteacher #scalesandarpeggios #beautifulmusic #soloviolinist #violinista #violino (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVZ6QFAmAX/?utm_medium=tumblr

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

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=
