My old violin teacher could pick up my cheap student violin and produce a sound completely unlike what I could do. I never found out how (and I suspect many advanced students also don't). This video goes some way towards an explanation.
ima take a swing: fullness is a matter of bow pressure and maximal sound for the least amount of bow, but there’s bad qi pressure and good qi pressure! If you can make your arm feel as light as possible but maintain heavy pressure with your posture, you’ll start to find the sound you want! A good practice strategy I tend to use for this is long-tones in all the lanes on open strings, divided into 5 or so contact points (or whatever amount seems relevant to u). Take a good look at that G string, and make it vibrate as WIDE as possible ALL THE TIME. If you’re using the wrong kind of pressure, the bad qi bow pressure, you’ll start feeling a burn in your back and in the small muscles of the Rh! Relieving that tension with your posture will point you in the right direction, like a compass (so don’t treat this like math). Our ears are another compass, helping us triangulate in on that desired tone!!! Also, u technically CAN push the violin INTO the bow with the Lh, do with that information what u will 😂😂 my old college studio called this “lively elbows”, and it kinda leads to volume without the crunch, sorta, idk experiment with it lol
@@jogmas12 honestly they have a pretty good symphony and a gorgeous hall there I live in Chattanooga Tn about 2 hours west of there and we also have a symphony too Chattanooga has a pretty large classical music scene for the size and we actually don’t have all that much country music here
Extremely useful information particularly clarifying the difference between "Sul taste" and "Sul pontecello". Gosh, I also have to admit Kalina's Bulgarian accent alone is so beautiful that it rivals some of the best violin phrases illustrated.
Thank you for this! Im not a violinist, but Im always curious to how it works and the details of it, so this really helps me analyse and find out why I like certain intepretations, and how they achieved the sound of it. These information really helps on other intruments too, like the point about articulation which is impt across all instruments, so, thank you for making this video!
Excellent video. I would point out that all of these issues are present in the string quartet (or quintet, or trio etc) literaturs, which is really more accessible to the students. Violinists spend too much time studying concerti (which most will never play) and not enough studying Haydn string quartets.
tbh I don't dislike the sound of the positions at their respective breaking tone areas. I feel like it's a very specific sound that can work sometimes, it's a bit more mellow but thank thank you for this video, I kind of got this intuitively but hearing someone actually explain is so helpful.
I appreciate that,@@annguyen-xv4dk! Unfortunately, my teaching calendar is fully booked for the next few months. However, I’d be happy to add you to the waiting list. If you’d like, please submit a lesson request at violedu.com, and I’ll get in touch as soon as a spot opens up.
These tips are legit. Save yourself time by focusing on these major parts and you'll establish an intuition on the finger board. You can inspire yourself in amazing ways when you have intuition. Case in point... Paggi the peddling fake strads panini knew that the instrument sounded best in certain keys (obvi right?) But it's not obvious until you go down a list of works and key signatures. Certain keys resonate brilliantly. Also the hollow metal bow... resonance. Mazas I n II, Kreutzer No. 11 (whole book and don't skip no 1! Good articulation means good use of control. Son file and even tone are akin to a blank canvas for painters. ) Rode, Tartini, Sammons, Dounis, Ysaye. SCALES DON'T JUST EXIST ON FISH! Arpeggios, duh For the love of your own creative mind IMPROV! Take breaks Remember life happens outside the practice room. Regardless of your level of ability, technique and ear development please don't forget two vital things. First... we use our ears to enjoy music, so make sure you practice with them and listen listen listen... and then second, know your rhythms intimately. Pitch rhythm and bow rhythm.
What's interesting about that opening is that it's supposed to be faster than after the fermata. So I think Jansen played it at the right speed. Almost like a cadenza before the concerto.
On a classical guitar, if you pluck around fret 12 (center of string length) you get a more "liquid" sound; close to the bridge, a more "tinny" sound. This is because the string vibrates in various modes; it can vibrate as a single node, or up to maybe 8; or anywhere in between. Near the bridge, you get many nodes at once, plus traveling waves; so you get more higher frequencies. With the violin here, your examples seem to be a little ambiguous but yeah same thing mostly
Jeder gute Lehrer vermittelt diese "Erkenntnisse", die allerdings lediglich im Solospiel hörbar werden. Im Orchesterspiel kann das sogar störend sein - hier zählt der Klang des Ensembles. UND: Vergiss nicht die Mikrophonierung und die Qualität des Instruments sowie des Violinbogens - und der ausgewählten Saiten
Musicality. It's natural for some. Inbred at birth. Others are not born with it but with hard work and attention can learn it. And yet others will never obtain it. Sometimes the choice of instrument can allow or prohibit musical playing. Musicality is what separates one musician or orchestra from one another. That is why they can play masterfully, but interpret differently rather than stamp out music robotically... But then again, now we have AI (eesh/yikes!).

@@NickBatinaComposer15:09
cool, a lot of new things to worry about when i practice
1:37 I went to that concert last summer in Nashville with the National Youth Orchestra I’m a 14 year old violinist and it was so inspiring to see
@@needforthegreen I can only imagine how exciting this experience must have been! Thank you for your comment. 🎻
@@needforthegreen wait a minute, I thought they only play country, blues and rock in Nashville? 😮😮😮

I think I'm taking violin lessons only because of your reverberating nostalgic mystical voice 🎶
Extremely useful information particularly clarifying the difference between "Sul taste" and "Sul pontecello". Gosh, I also have to admit Kalina's Bulgarian accent alone is so beautiful that it rivals some of the best violin phrases illustrated.
What a deep understanding and explanation 😍
with details, comparisons, examples...
Thanks!
Thank you! A appreciate your words ❤️
Thank you for sharing!
Bravo! Thanks for sharing!
It helps me a lot
I'm gonna practice on these exercises
Thank you so much for share this video ❤
I‘m glad to hear that!
Great video, reminds me of all the key lessons I somehow forgot yet so important!
I appreciate it! Thank you so much!
This is a great video! Thanks!
Great video! Thanks!
A viola video just like that please 😊

Glad you liked it!
Wow, It's only I've learned from you the different sounds produced in different tempo.
Wonderfully!!!
That’s a NECESSARY video! Loved it ❤
@@antonioroger8102 I‘m very glad you think so!
Thank you ❤ please make more videos ❤❤❤
I will! Thank you ❤
@@violedugrp 😍❤️🙏🏼
@@violedugrp it helped me a lot
Great video!! I love the sound quality of your videos. May I ask what microphone you’re using? Thanks in advance
Certainly! We are using the Tascam DR-40X.
Ohhh, this beautiful lady is adorable, but I Can t remember her name😢😢😢 She s a pleasure to listen to! Excellent video🎉🎉🎉Bravo!
Great Video. Thanks!! Very handy to help you reflect on your on playing from different points.
I‘m glad it was helpful!
That was a great lesson❤
Glad you think so!

Can you explain more what the "center of gravity in the left hand should be in the 2nd or 3rd" finger means? I'm not a physics geek lol. Great video!
Your hand shape is centered around your second or third finger. The overall alignment/structure of your hand follows this.
Hello, what you said really impressed me. Do you take in new student? Virtually.

Who was the violinist on 8:31?
His name is Augustin Hadelich. 🎻
New video ❤
As an amateur player in an orchestra, I am glad if I can keep up and perhaps play most of the right notes , maybe even in the right order! 😉
Dude. Girl can play.

Music education and a decent instrument are truly expensive for most people.
Musicality. It's natural for some. Inbred at birth. Others are not born with it but with hard work and attention can learn it. And yet others will never obtain it. Sometimes the choice of instrument can allow or prohibit musical playing. Musicality is what separates one musician or orchestra from one another.

they sound like me
you play more beautiful than Hahn and jansen
she has really solid n beautiful playing
@@polikun2884 yes she is
So even after 5 years of violin 🎻 study and practice we still can’t sound like a pro
Right. 5 is nothing. 10 is better
the only reason you’re not successful is that you are wasting time instead of putting in work. 5 years is a tremendous amount of time
@@kimseniorbNot for an instrument like the violin!
No you can't. Takes many years of practice and life maturity. At the end you do not play notes you play your experiences.
@@Ciaccona255 you are discouraging a lot of violin players with those words my friend.
Do you think that every person who plays the violin wants or needs to “sound like a pro” ?
i want to sound as good as possible. dont you?
Than you can check out of this video and continue with your mediocrity.
