- I invite you to check out my new 18-lesson course for tonebase:
"For tonebase’s own Daniel Kurganov, inspiration and experimentation have been essential to his improvement. As musicians, we have constant opportunities to learn from the players around us and the recordings we have access to. By translating that energy into concrete technical and musical ideas in the practice room, we can better diagnose and solve lingering problems and discover new possibilities from our musical expression. These 18 experiments are starting points - make experimentation a lifelong habit!"
Check it out at www.tonebase.co and you'll also have access to courses from Glenn Dicterow, Augustine Hadelich, Ilya Gringolts, Giles Apap, Aleksey Igudesman and more!

And THIS is why I joined Tonebase!
Ah, good 😊
Thank you Inna!
Daniel I love your videos. I would love to here more about your experience starting late on the violin. I almost don't believe it!
Thank you! I wrote a piece in the Strad about that (you can still find it). Maybe I should make a video discussing that. Not sure!
If ever there was a reason to join tonebase Violin, this is it ❤ This is a course that keeps on giving ❤

You are too kind! I was left with a feeling after-the-fact that I should have made each section 5x longer :)
@@DanielKurganov Literally, there is no TOO kind. Figuratively, any appreciation you get is completely justified. ❣️ I find that the short format inspires me and encourages me to explore on my own. ❣️ And when I climb out of the rabbit hole that I dug myself into, there will be another bite of wisdom (or a complete dinner) from you. ❣️
Dude you are amazing! Recently got into playing again and following all of your videos to get me back in shape
Happy to hear that!
Great course! Bravo!
Thanks so much!
Could you elaborate on how long you’ve been playing? Did you actually start when you were sixteen? I’ve been playing a while, but my technique has only been improving drastically for about four years, and I’m seventeen. You’re giving me hope that I can play some substantial rep.
Sure! Yes, started when I was 16.5 or so. I actually wanted to be a pianist but the violin randomly doing me. I did a piece in the Strad magazine back in June that recounts the story completely. I think it’s online.
And yes, with passion, obsession, discipline and some talent, there are no limits.
"quite late in life, at the age of 16", damn, I'm starting at 45
Greetings,
What is the name of the piece at the beginning of the video (I love F#, haha). Thanks for recommending this great course, mate.
Cheers,

Brahms Violin Sonata No.3 in D minor.

Hi Daniel, will you ever post any videos about ways to perfect runs? As violinists we have to play them all the time in solo and orchestral music. I often feel like my bow technique during runs is inadequate :( Are there any particular ideas you have in mind or references to your own videos that would help?
It depends on the kind of run of course, and it would be difficult to give personalized advice without hearing/seeing you play. That said, here are some common problem with runs in the right hand:
- Coordination: are you changing bows and LH fingers at the same time? At high speeds + mixed bowings, this of course becomes challenging. The key here is to practice slowly but with fast motions. The motions = fingers coming up and down, bow changes, string crossings, etc. Read Hilary Hahn's "slow practice" document online.
- Contact: don't lose contact with the string. Pay attention to the feeling of weight/resistance. As you play through the passages. To really check this, look at my "tricking your brain" video on how to practice passages for sound quality.
- Horizontality: Sometimes you're using too much bow or not enough (depends on the passage). If there's a lot of detache, spiccato or short slurs (or a combination of those) you might need to use a more compact bow to keep things under control. If there are legatos or broad gestures, you could be using not enough bow.
- Tension: This is a killer. The truth is counter-intuitive. The most complex and difficult something gets, the more you have to relax and release your grip. If you can't control the bow without gripping you have to go back to the basics of bowing. Watch my course on tonebase for those fundamentals.
Hope that helps
That was extremely helpful! It's amazing how well you can explain something and make it so understandable. My friend Aromi Park recommended I check out your videos and they have been fun to watch. Do you still hold workshops?
@@fildzarizal5903 it depends what you’re looking for! Write me privately and we can see what’s possible 👍
What chin rest are you using?
The chinrest is a Kreddle. If you have a long neck or otherwise challenging physique, you can try it. Very customizable.
