SHADOWMAN296 well, this doesn't show u how 2 play the violin, more than how to practice. in the end it's all about practicing what ur teacher shows u.this is rly just 4 ppl who don't have a teacher. if u want to make progress, u need someone who helps u as an individual, not a utube teacher. but keeping comments civil is a good idea ;)

It is a great one off product for playing violin like a master minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend at very last got cool success with it.

I must admit these tips are helping me already with my project. I spent less than 30 minutes studying some passages to improve my intonation and it really worked very well! I am sure repeating these combination of techniques in no more than a week will give me the quality I am looking for in the piece I am working on. Great share Michael keep up the good work and bring us with more cool tips!

Великолепно! Как приятно увидеть такого уровня музыканта, практически "мой брат", именно с таким подходом я и учила оркестровые партии, поддерживаю все рекомендации! Легато в Шумане - я играю даже в Perpetum mobile Paganini ! )) Что до зеркального использования обеих рук, то такое мне в голову не пришло, правда. (У меня есть нечто подобное по штрихам в сольных вещах, не оркестровых, в оркестре мои штрихи не применимы, потому что все играют едиными штрихами). Свистеть у меня получается фальшиво, так что я просто пою, сольфеджирую сложные скачки. Всё очень понравилось, браво! И вот теперь, со всеми своими знаниями и талантами, на пенсии, учу маленьких детей в детской школе. 😊

Nice. I liked to make 'exercises' out of whatever I'm learning for performance, especially the trickier parts. I even made 'exercises' out of exercises. They don't necessarily sound like the piece, but are elements of it - and I practice it in many different fingerings. Sometimes you find a better fingering than what may be written for you. I hope you add follow-ups to this. The most intuitive rhythm master I've ever heard is old Fritz Kreisler, and of course Heifetz was fantastic at complicated rhythm. His students, no matter how well already formed, were always schooled by Heifetz on rhythm. That's where he seemed to catch them most. Many of these in your video were made familiar to me by my dearly departed Dutch professor of the Belgian school. I never learned anything before I was lucky enough to get him. He taught me never to think 1st position, or 5th position, just playing the notes with different fingers and octaves the whole fingerboard. Know the notes and the whole and half steps in your mind. Your hand will find it.

But, still can’t land our desired job. I guess we all can try to figure it out. Burger King/McDonalds looks more like a better career.
