So for a competition I’m having my student learn Beethoven’s Romance in F but also Vivaldi’s Spring for fun, and if he ends up playing Spring better then he’ll use that for the competition. I show up for the first lesson and when we get to playing Vivaldi he says “YES I LOVE VIVALDI I WANT TO HOLD HIM IN MY ARMS” and I feel like tumblr should know this

Here’s my practice tip for the day! Try counting beats or rhythms out loud while you’re playing. You can count big beats, or smaller beats (one and two and three and/one-e-and-a two-e-and-a three-e-and-a etc.) depending on how slowly you’re practicing or how detailed you want to be. Practicing like this forces your brain to work in ways it’s not used to when you normally play your instrument and helps connect your body to the music on a whole new level. Yes, we should all be counting in our heads on a regular basis, but actually getting your mouth and vocal cords to make the words you need to count is a completely different animal. My dad used to hold books up in front of me and have me read paragraphs out loud while I played my pieces - talk about rubbing your belly and patting your head! 🤣 That exercise is slightly different than counting the beats or rhythms in your music, but it accomplishes one of the same goals - being able to use different parts of your brain independently while you play. It’s a very useful tool to have! (Especially if you want to learn to sing and play violin at the same time - props to those of you who can do this! I’m super impressed👏🏻) Give it a try when you’re practicing today! If you haven’t tried this before it will probably feel very strange and may even be frustrating at first - just slow it down as much as you need and only do a couple of measures at a time. You’re making your brain super strong! Good work! 👍🏻🎻❤ (Hint: the front facing camera on your phone mirrors your image and makes it look like you’re doing everything backwards 🤣 I PLAY VIOLIN LEFT HANDED! #ireallydont)

I had my violin lesson today.

She was impressed because she said I can sight read and play by ear. She said I was very musical.
