“Quilting” or “stitching” is a powerful #violinpractice🎻 #practiceroom #practiceroutine I use when passages seem intimidating at first glance. The concept is simple…start with small groups and stitch them together into larger and larger groups until the entire passage is easy. Here’s an example of this #violinpractice in #spanishdance by #ukrainiancomposer #myroslavskoryk (mm 44-50) 5 videos: 1) One measure at a time - repeat each measure several times (I repeat 3 times in this video for brevity; however in a real #violinpractise session it will likely be a lot more) ~swipe left~ 2) Two measure groups overlapping (1+2, 2+3, 3+4, etc.) ~swipe left~ 3) Three measure groups overlapping (1+2+3, 3+4+5, 5+6+7, etc) ~swipe left~ 4) performance version - the practice process can be extended to create larger groups by I find if three measure at a time becomes easy I can usually play the entire passage easily. ~swipe left~ 5) Photo of mm 44-50. Note: If one measure at a time is too difficult at first, build smaller groups first - first two notes, second two notes, etc. #violinteacher #violinpedagogy #violintechnique #practiceroom #violinmasterclass #violinmaster #violinfun #violinguy #ukrainianclassicalmusic #ukrainianviolinist #ukrainianculture #spanishviolinist #мирославскорик #класичнамузика #українськамузика #скрипаль #violinsoloist (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcxVZPEufRZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
