#violinpractice🎻 #bachconcerto The slurred passages in #concertoinaminor #3rdmovement #allegroassai by #jsbach presents rhythmic, bowing, and, tone production challenges. Here’s how I practice and present these passages to my students: 3 videos: 1) practice only the subdivisions without bowings, turning all notes into multiples of 16th notes as demonstrated. It is helpful to play a complete measure on a single note to establish the 16th not pulse ahead of the passage you’re practicing. 2) slurred staccato - use the performance bowing and rhythm but with slurred notes re-articulated as shown. This step ensures each note “speaks” and it also helps the player plan out the bow distribution. 3) performance version - rhythms are accurate and all slurred notes sound brilliantly! I’ve chosen to demonstrate measures 100-104 because it’s the longest such passage. Practice similar passages in the same manner: 31-32 42-43 52-53 88-89 #violintips #violinteacher #suzukiteacher #violinmaster #violinmasterclass #violintechnique #violinpedagogy #stringplayers #stringsattached #suzukiviolinteacher #suzukimethodviolin #suzukiteacher #metodosuzuki #practiceroom #practicejournal #violinlove #baroquemusiclovers #ilovebach #violinworld (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP593oyA68W/?utm_medium=tumblr
