How to Practice Fifths

In this video I talk about how to practice fifths, especially if they are new for you and also why it is so good for all of our violin playing to regularly work at fifths.
Join me on Paganini’s Secret, the shortcut to left hand violin technique with unique specific exercises to accelerate your progress, personal guidance and personal feedback lessons with me. This is the method I learnt from the great Ruggiero Ricci and it is now available at Violin Lounge Academy:

Take lessons with me on ‚Bow like a Pro‘
For those of you who are interested in personal teaching with me and for a complete guide to bow technique with countless exercises, videos, practicing plans, video feedback analysis and all kinds of helpful tips I recommend ‚Bow like a Pro‘ by Violin Lounge Academy.
Especially the possibility of sending in videos for feedback is a highly functional way to learn the violin online since I as a teacher can carefully analyse your playing and give you the guidance you need.

Yes, he is right about that but I recommend double stops so early in violin training that they do have to be done with out vibrato at first. Especially fifths. They are hard to vibrate without loosing the intonation!

Hi Ms Hoffman, huge fan of your videos. Thank you for sharing! Have you seen Mr Rodney Friend’s videos regarding 5ths? It’s an interesting take on actually using them as a foundation for hand posture.

Thank you very much! I am glad you find my videos useful. And thanks for bringing Mr. Rodney Friends videos to my attention. I met him when I was in London.

Is vibrato a requirement before one starts 5th. When one starts fresh should on practice this without vibrato? According to Rodney friend " all intervals practiced should be played using vibrato.. it's is not important and can be even damaging to practice with a sound that cannot be used."
This frightens me, one does not want to cause damage. Don't understand what he meant. Thanks for the video
