Thank you for this video. This actually covers Rule #23 in my studio beautifully: Don't fix a mistake and keep going - practice it a few more times and learn not to make the mistake. So many times students practice diligently to strengthen their errors. I have forwarded the link to my students!
👍
No students practice diligently to strengthen their errors! 😂
Nicht bewusst, aber unbewusst üben Schüler die Fehler ein.
Absolutely spot on. When you play scales this this, it is never rote playing just to get through the scale routine. And you know why you are practicing scales. Wonderful advice.
To resume: practice scale only slowly for intonation accuracy
Shift in slow glissando for muscle memory ( to practice with no mistake rather than practice in correcting the pitch).
I've learned to play so many different instruments, starting with piano and guitar.... Nothing has been as hard as violin! 🤯😱i played Cello and some trumpet in school and they were nothing like how precise and delicate EVERY SINGLE movement is
Ha! I'm sharing this with my mum who plays violin and my friend who plays cello 😂
Same here man to be honest a lot of other activities become easier too, one get really good at problem solving.
Thank you for the information! I've been taught to prioritize intonation over speed. Speed is nothing if you aren't playing clean notes in tune.
Nice distinction between teaching yourself self the correct shift vs. teaching yourself the mistake and then to fix the mistake.
My Teacher, Erick Friedman emphasized scales in this manner. This was exactly how I was taught to shift. This was the way Heifetz practiced scales.
This was so helpful (and validating) about how I've been approaching scales. It's good to keep the long-term goal in mind!! Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Fantastic teaching and great technique. This is actually helpful to improving technique and the concept of practicing to train yourself rather than correcting a mistake. I tell my students all the time that it's not about putting on a Band-Aid for every mistake; it's about what happens right before the "mistake" that they need to work on or "fix".
Thank you, that's how I have been practicing as I thought that would be the way to get the most benefit out of the scales.
Thank you so much this is very important approach how to change position instead of keep correcting fingers.
I love this. I had the chance to hear you and speaking with you in upstate NY and I am glad to know you can also share things on the technique very clearly and articulate some of your experience to others attempt to emulate you.
proven point it actually works wonders and as a rookie my self I got to say thank you so much for this exercise I don’t read music and just try to play by ear but this works for street as well as classical I guess I seen the fruit of this because I always practice before my shift starts at work and now I get applauses and I never ever ever get them so this exercise is by far one of the best ! so thank you thank you thank you!
As an amateur, I can vouch that this is a great way to remove 'anticipation' and therefore some anxiety when shifting. Slow practice teaches you to do it right and most importantly in a relaxed way. The last thing you wanna hear is having to correct a shift that subsequently results in an audible panic.
I love it! I play bansuri and i see so many parallels to what your talking about! Do it slow and you eventually 'touch' the note! Then it becomes actually difficult to it wrong!
I hope i will find the time to experiment with the violin once! Such a fascinating and difficile instrument.
Must feel amazing!!!!
Thankyou for this advice. I am slow at playing the violin because I want to get it right.
love this video so much, the way he explains it is so clear
Im coming back to this video for a bigger thanks than before this really works
As a former guitarist, the idea that there aren't any marks on the fret board to guide you is crazy and intimidating to me
It's quite funny to confess that although I'm not the biggest fan of Jackiw's playing, his advices on practicing helped me the greatest deal - almost at the same level with my professor.
Rude
Thank you for this lesson!
Thanks, yours advices are smart and helpful!
Yes, great advice and insights. Intonation, Rhythm, and Sound - that is the alpha and omega of playing.... easy to say and extremely difficult to accomplish.
Excellent advice, thank you!
Amazingly helpful, thank you.
Wow! Incredible, I loved it.
This is fantastic advice, thank you!😍
How to present this to a younger students? “Sliding” like this is a nice idea, I think it would make a lot of progress with shifting. But I wonder, if I speed up the tempo gradually, will the sliding be too noticeable?
No because eventually it will be so fast that the bow isn’t moving when you’re sliding
ok as a 45 yo guy that’s been practicing less than a year this immediately helped me in my ear/finger zinc , an my improvisation with scales sounds cleaner after every exercise so yes this class was totally worth watching till the very end lost of stuff with little effort thanks for this awesome 👏 video 🤯
Thanks, i tried this and it works
Perfect!
Thank you so very much for this video!
Listen to Augustin Hadelich’s instructional videos on here. And of course his performances. He is phenomenal on both levels.
He's one of the finest violinists today, and yes, those instructional videos are very edifying.
@@alhfgsp Yes indeed. I love how un-Hollywood Augustin is...he's an ordinary guy with extraordinary gifts. I don't really warm up to a lot of the younger generation fiddlers - as one myself, I vastly prefer the great old guys and gals of the 20th century (Kogan, Milstein, Oistrakh, Haendel, Rabin, Morini, all the rest really!) But Augustin is different. He's just in a class by himself.
@@BenjiOrthopedic Of the old greats you mentioned, Oistrakh is my favorite. Like Hadelich, he produces a warm, vibrant, beautiful sound while maintaining exact precision and a regulated bow.
@@alhfgsp yeah, he is a rarity nowadays. Most of these guys and girls just sound about as interesting as a cardboard box. Many of them have excellent technique but they don't develop adequate tone production. Their performances are mostly unmemorable. I can only imagine how much money some of them are paid, compared to what the older folks made.
Super tutorial
Augustine violinist from Malaysia
"Hardest thing about playing the violin is to play in tune". Dude you just sympathised my tears after playing 3 octave d major arpeggio out of tune :')
Excellent! Thank you very much
Great Video Thank You 🎉🎉
Thank you!
I need more ways to tune non-ringing and flat notes on the violin. like c sharp or b or f or something like that. so Ive been playing a tonic drone and checking the pitch or playing the perfect fourth or fifth above it. im still new to learning the violin
that last pharse should be also valid for repertoir, only play at the speed that you can play the rythm and intonation and secure continuity of what piece/segment you are pretending to play xd
Practice does not make perfect, practice makes permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect
Thank you! Is there a recommendation when to shift?
I like how you think. One must eliminate the memory of mistakes lest they destroy the progress.
Esse cara tem que fazer força pra conseguir errar
Thanks,
If you wanna learn fast, play slow.....oh, and always play a "beautiful-note"! 😁
matur suksma kak stevan 🍀😍🎻💃🌈
Stupendo ma possibile avere i sottotitoli in italiano ? 😩😩😩
Oh, how I wish he had covered the descending part of the scale as well. 😅
Highly intelligent comments. eric shumsky
play without vibrato... finally something I can do 😇
Thank you for telling me how to pronounce your name. I've had it wrong for years!
When I practise I always turn the tuner on.
Right!
5:00 "Ya???!!!" 😂 Sorry that was funny.
What does reperoire mean?
Its a repertoire, which is basically a piece of music
❤ 😊
let’s see what else i get from watching it again
based take
When i listen to specifically this channel it always makes me worse at whatever its trying to teach for some reason
I just realized all scales have the same finger pattern. You don't really have to memorize the notes
Slow is good.
Who?
Ling Ling doesn't need to play scales
Din’t know pandas played the violin…
Ling Ling practices 40 hours a day. 52 of those hours are Heifetz style scales.
Ling ling is now a doctor 👩⚕️
I wouldn’t totally agree with this approach. The way to get the most out of scales is to really Listen to yourself as you play…for intonation mainly, especially when playing scales in thirds, and fingered octaves. I’ve not heard much about this violinist but he’s no great artist. Yet. Nor is he a great pedagogue. Yet. He’s cute though!!
I think his advice is very solid. Not sure why you're being so critical.
I’m sure you’re so much better 😂
You haven’t heard of him so therefore he’s no great artist?? He is still young but is definitely already among the greatest violinists of today. Take a listen to his Scottish Fantasy-one of the best renditions out there. Also, in case you didn’t understand, his approach literally revolves on building the correct muscle memory so that one can play more in tune more consistently. Though he demonstrated with regular scales, the approach can be easily carried over to thirds, sixths, octaves, and tenths. You can’t exercise this approach without closely listening to yourself either, so I don’t get your point here.
You’re a crappy troll if you’re even human lol
To much bla bla nla bla bla
🤣🤣
