When we play an instrument, our brain trains visual, auditory and motor skills, and simultaneously engages our emotions, an exceptional situation which can be described as a firework of the brain.
There are different tips and tricks that make our practice more effective and fun. Such as Practicing a piece backward and many more.
Special thanks to our patrons: Ville Medeiros, Chutimon Nuangnit, Cedric Wang, Mike, Eva Marie Koblin, Julien Dumesnil, Mathis, and the others. You are amazing !!!

The best way to learn a musical instrument is not to focus on being the greatest or bestest player at the beginning session of your practice...... Just learn or practice because you genuinely love the sound of it and enjoy playing and not because you think it will make you look cool or stand out from the crowd.
Very true!
@@sprouts Thanks a lot Sir :)

@@JayStarMoney21 thank u so much :)
Kobin Kago sorry it’s just that I do things like that too so I can’t help but point it out when other people do it too, have a good day 😁
Summary of tips in this video:
1. Practise slow and mindful
2. Keep it interesting
3. Practise hard parts first
4. Imagine
5. Process learning
Great advice, that I've personally seen really benefit students in practice. Great video - thank you for making.
P.S For anyone interested in the 10,000 hours 'rule' concept alluded to in this video - I HIGHLY recommend reading what K Anders Ericsson (the academic whose work was the basis for Gladwell's moniker) himself writes about it in his book Peak: How All Of Us Can Achieve Extraordinary things. It's pretty critical of the idea that Gladwell popularised.
Thanks Nick
Thank you for writing that & the suggestion
@@celestinac1105 you're welcome.
Ling Ling focuses while practicing 40 hours a day.
there are only 24 hours per day?
@@peepland2055 😑bruh

I really admire how the narration is being done in all your videos; everything is organized and explained so clearly which makes the lessons understandable.
If you can play slow, you can play fast
lol, that's sacrilegious
Meh...nope
Who gets it, gets it.... Lang lang plays 8 hrs a day, but Ling Ling plays 40.

Ah, a fellow twosetter
What helped me at the very beginning was listening to songs I like the most and that sounded easy to play. I wrote all the notes down, one by one, since I couldn´t find music sheets for them. This way I already learned a bit the rythm and which notes I need to play.
Starting with songs you like is very motivating.
thank you soo much I really needed this, I've been playing self-taught violin for 10 months and my worst habit is playing/practicing fast

@@sprouts You respond to constructive criticism in the comments? Most impressive.
Lol she is !! I just realized that 😂

i'm left handed and i was recommended to play violin that way.

Super super super tips

Sprouts let me tell you that I so like British accent therefore I like your channel.
Guys, what's your favorite instrument ?
My favorite instrument is piano.
I can sing, play some drums, piano, and a tiny bit of guitar, bass, conga and recorder.
I do something with all of them every day, and 10 minutes is better than no minutes.
step by step guide to practice! It's crucial for business and health goals too!

I like your videos and simplicity without any advertising .......make a video on procrastination in detail and how to deal with?
I personally just do it earlier. 10 minutes is better than zero. And keep a notebook: what I did, what I learned and time in a row on the side.
The notebook helped and getting up earlier.
That flute sure looks like an oboe
Hii there!!I love almost all your techniques.I request you to pls make a video on the "4 hour sleep"!!I don't exactly know the word!I have heard that it is very helpful and effective
Thanks Gamov. Glad you like our work. We will look into that.
So, basically you mean "parents." lol
Super ❤️
Thanks for the video!
Welcome 🙏
As always GOOOOD ONE
Always focus on the hardest parts!
Very true!

Your violin is on the wrong side
yes... :/ sorry
well, you have to practice slow too but you can not not play the thing you are working on fast as well because if you don't, you will try to walk really fast instead of running later, when you have to increase the tempo. different movements....
Can you please make a video on "failure and it's effects on life".
And thanks a lot for this video.😊
We were really waiting for the video finally god listened to us
Sing what you practice
You are really doing great work in all your videos.. its amazing how learning from a few minutes video can do more good than a whole week of classroom work.. God bless you for this work.

"keep practicing the hard parts until the notes become ur best friends"...
so basically, u cant talk 2 ur best friend
Thank u (๑`✪̤◡✪̤)◞ღԵհɑղƘՏღ any ways I play 🎷 and I have not been very good at practice but this helped 😊
practicing slow is always helpful!
slow is smooth, smooth is fast
Im forced to play an instrument until the 11th grade, 2 years left. I probably chose one of the worst instruments, oboe. I dread online lessons so much i cant enjoy my weekends without worrying about my lesson next which is literally on tuesday. How do i get motivation to make the best of this? I cant just be like this for the next 2 years.
"Great at playing poorly."
huh
Hello Sprouts, It's me again.
Could you make your cartoons with a little bit of color?
I would like it.
I am great at playing poorly
Does anyone else hear the voice from Episode 5 of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared?

Do you think a 40-year-old guy can learn an instrument from scratch?
100% sure. Start simple. Ukulele for example
@@sprouts Thanks, I'll give it a try!
Yes!!! I did it!
turkish translate please
im bad at playing moosic but imma try now

Slower is faster
It seems like bodybuilders work out and then take selfies. They work out hard and get reward which is taking selfies, getting likes, looking their muscles etc.
They work out satisfying their eyes get fame from their social media accounts everyday. And then get on a stage for their fame from satisfying other's eyes and making people jealous of themselves.
Dogs just work for their rewards.
YOU are the JEALOUSE one
Nice excuse
