    Wohlfahrt is a gold mine. I've been playing (and sometimes just attempting to play) for longer than I care to admit, and I still wind up revisiting Wohlfahrt ... uh, pretty much constantly, to be honest.

      It's an absolute lie, oh yes there is some truth in it that if you can't play it slowly there is a problem. But guess what? I physically cannot seem to play faster, I have done music for years and the ability to play slowly and correctly does NOT equal the ability to play fast AT ALL.

  • @violynnkuo
    @violynnkuo 2 года назад +21

    Fantastic explanation! Thanks for this video!
    I teach something very similar:
    I call the blocks “grouping opportunities (GO’s) or “chunks”. (Every pedagogue has their own terminology for it).
    I also teach my students to look for Double Stop Opportunities (DSO’s): setting the hand frame to cover notes across multiple strings that will come rapidly inside a group of notes.
    Between DSO’s and GO’s, I then practice them in “bursts”, building up fluency, accuracy, and of course, speed.
    And then I also practice joining the chunks together (chunk A + B then I practice chunk B + C, then eventually A + B + C). Then they start to become entire ‘gestures’, (as you explained so well in this video.)
    I also test the connection between the groups just practicing the ending of A joining on the first few notes of B.
    And then I always remind myself of an important speed-building tip: using the *lightest finger pressure necessary* to execute the passage (what Nathan Cole calls ‘MVP’, ‘minimum viable pressure’).
    I see a lot of TwoSet Violin fans here. I’m a fan of them for sure and they are super awesome and talented, however the saying “If you can play it slow, you can play it fast” is misleading and inaccurate.
    It’s well-meaning (“Be sure to work on it slowly and ACCURATELY before you attempt to build speed” is what they mean), however, this video describes the proper way to build speed and play faster.
    Playing slow doesn’t give you the magical abilities to play a passage faster. You have to train ‘rapidity’ in the fingers… and this video demonstrates this very well.
    Thank you for this video. I’ve subscribed and will be sharing it with students!
    By the way, I’ve also described how to build speed in my live stream:
    Paganini 5 Challenge | How To Practice Paganini Caprice #5 - Day 3: Building Speed and Accuracy
    ruclips.net/video/VPEuPKcB7UI/видео.html
    I’m glad that there are other teachers on the same wave length!

    • @yuanwu2763
      @yuanwu2763 2 года назад

      I think TwoSet says that to mock this person on BBS who claims himself to be the "world's fastest violin" but in fact using an electric violin and being a total mess. ruclips.net/video/BvsvaCU6i1M/видео.html

So I play along on the Red Desert or Bluegrass Daddy youtube sites. If I'm trying to play 3rd finger on A and 1st finger on E with bow shuffling from A to E. How do I keep my 3rd finger on A from touching the E string?

    Great video! but one question, is it consistent with the idea that we play with independent fingering rather than block fingering?

    • @violinlab
      @violinlab  6 лет назад +3

      Absolutely! When we actually play, fingers are independent. This doesn't make the fingers go down all at once, it just trains better and faster preparation.

      Practice in very short bursts. One measure at a time. Shorten the amount of bow you/re using and that will propmt a faster tempo.
