Keeping a #steadybeat through #rhythmic transitions! The opening passage of #lagazzaladra #overture by #rossini contains many challenging rhythmic transitions. Here’s how I practice them. Three videos: 1) Custom “Twinkle” variation to practice the transition between 16th notes and triplets found in mm 10 & 20, as well as in many other measures. ~swipe left~ 2) Clap through the rhythm in mm 9-10 and 19-20 to practice changing from the tied half note to dotted rhythm to 16ths to triplets while keeping a steady beat. This rhythmic figure occurs several other times on the first page. ~swipe left~ 3) Performance version with metronome. I made this video for a student in the @dcyopmusic which is currently rehearsing this wonderful piece for an upcoming performance! #violinteacher #gazzaladra #orchestralexcerpts #operamusic #orchestraexcerpts #violinlessons #violinpractice #practiceviolin #orchestralmusic #musiceducation #violinpedagogy #violintechnique #violintips #violinguy #stringplayer #stringpedagogy #violinmasterclass #twinklevariations #rhythmpractice #dcyouthorchestra (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT4XHrtAI_O/?utm_medium=tumblr
