    • @davidshu2363
      @davidshu2363 2 года назад

      Hi! I think you can check out that tutorial on youtube(if can't find a teacher for a reason) cuz world-class or not the basic things you've mentioned are pretty much the same except for further in-depth like "tension". There's so much to learn from him that it is sometimes not necessary for a beginner and even intermediate "yet" there are so many other things to look up first. But if Ray actually does it then he probably has some kind of world-class level mindset or knowledge that again, a beginner wouldn't be able to practically 100% understand yet.
      I hope you will be able to start playing violin and love and care from a community :D

  • @teddywang69
    @teddywang69 4 года назад +2

    3:25 so you can be happy that in a sense you are practicing two things at once, actually three at once , because Extreme bow control is required for harmonics which is way more difficult than normal notes
    It would be like in Dragon ( Moses??) when they are trained in high gravity situation . So when you go back normal to notes you are going to feel ..... (這段我聽不清楚)
    So it can be a bit frustrating, but with patients and a lot of notes checking you will get there.

    I wish he would make a video on how to do fingered minor thirds and minor sixths. I am really wrestling with them in the 3rd mvmt of the Paganini concerto 1. In fact, it would be nice to just have a RUclips tutorial on that whole double stop section in that concerto. That’s probably the hardest passage in the whole piece.

    • @violinology3036
      @violinology3036 6 лет назад +1

      To develop a more brilliant tone with harmonics, definitely keep bow speed and pressure in mind. Harmonics always require more pressure than the other notes for the whole phrase to be equal. Save bow and use more of it during the harmonic notes for a clear sound. Hope this helps!
