How much should you practice?

[@dvides89]

Hi Maestro , it would be awesome to see a full uncut practice session from you. ( Just the camera on without you having to losing focus on having to talk during the recording). This videos are real gems, thank you so much.

[@ViolinHobby]

I'm mesperized by your voice, eloquence, and violin philosophy.

Very beneficial tip for music students. Leopold Auer teacher of J.Heifetz told never practice 30 or 40 min.at a time, stop practicing at least 15 min. Heifetz suggested 4 hours a day pracice and he said more than 4 hour is too much.

Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 Keep trying… and not to forget the three P’s 😉

[@anggirzkya7538]

"Not, how much time you practice in a day, but how many times you practice in a day" yeah, agree...

[@Violinna]

Powerful!

[@clairepotter6975]

"Practicing with a mindset of constant experimentation" is right on! Thanks, Kerson!

[@PlatonViolin]

I love how he chooses his words wisely, like a kung fu master who has find inner peace. Straight to the point!

[@fiddlestix3025]

Yes! So much of how Kerson does his things, from talking to particularly his playing, reminds me of martial arts discipline and philosophy-.

[@dpet7756]

10 minutes practice - 10 minute break, 15 minutes practice - 5 minutes break, 20 minutes practice --- repeat 40 times for the day

[@robroman6453]

Dear Mr. Leong, I am so impressed by you, extraordinary musician, amazing personality and great sense of humor. My son is inspired by you and I am so glad you are doing these videos!

[@MiriamSmithViolin]

Thank you for giving us this incredible content for free!

[@phber]

Could you also share what you would practice during the sessions? Such as scales, etudes, concertos etc. for an intermediate to advanced violinist.

[@gsm2424]

Great advice. It would be awesome to watch one hour of your own practice session! It's something rare to see a true artist practice its craft!

[@HenriqueOliveiraBR]

Great as always! Thank you, Kerson!

[@Ferenz111]

yeah The whole point is to relax and to go through introspection. I love your advice and your thoughts, sharing your beautiful experience. thank you

[@fiddlestix3025]

This is such good advice… 🙏

[@justusforviolin2719]

I really like this model!! It even allows time for journaling mental practice, and thinking about what I just did. And what I plan next etc. Brilliant (I love 2set, but I agree practicing 40hrs/day is meaningless) without a plan:)

[@benoitpaquette2866]

Wow Mr Leong, beautiful and warm calming voice...

[@Georgia_Rae_Music]

How Kerson manages to change my life and views on music and practice is legendary😱 Thank you Kerson for being so giving🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

[@deltasquared7777]

This would seem to be a most excellent protocol for studying and learning anything (like math), not just for music.

[@n.9352]

you voice is so nice lol. nice advice! definitely gonna try it tonight.

[@mariuslysiak6402]

It is amazing that at early stages of your future long career as a soloist you can share so many of mature advice. Your ability to focus is inspiring. Have you considered reading books for little children? This would be Epic! Your media audience would increase dramatically. :)

[@destieldestiel6727]

Your voice is beautiful omg

[@siananaomi]

This is everything

[@alexsaldarriaga8318]

Again, very insightful and helpful. I’m glad you mentioned experimentation in practicing. I remember Ruggiero Ricci and Nathan Milstein also found experimentation to be essential. Thank you Maestro Kerson! 🙏🏻🎻

[@annewick3287]

So you are mentally practicing... Which is just as important. Sounds very meditative I'm surprised you used the word fiddle though. Nice information I'm delving back into violin technique and pedagogy and I'm very excited

[@DenXDuman]

See, this has been very complementary to what I have been applying to my personal practice since I heard about the ''50 mins practice + 10 mins break'' system by the GREAT Itzhak Perlman!

[@dvides89]

A fellow Wimbledon and Euro fan : P

[@kostasmponis1042]

I lost it when you said second time Practice!!!!hahahahha... joking! Mental practice is really same usefull as the practice with the violin!You are a great violinist and i am always pleased when i hear you!I am a big fan of you! Greetings from Greece!

[@diegonicolasbrisenogalvan1415]

wow this makes a lot of sense to me, thank you so much for sharing this information :)

[@sasssssa6565]

To me a break it is not make mental practice but be lazy ( sleep, read , watch Netflix or listen recordings of the piece I'm playing lmao !) 🤣🤣🤣

[@pcpt]

40 hours

[@leopoldauer7390]

But maestro Zibulkin said I should practice scales 3-5 hours every morning? I am confused..

[@lairdofmisrule5592]

Off topic, but you have the most amazing voice! Have you considered voice acting?

[@francismeador8155]

Great information!

[@SarumChoirmaster]

Its not how long you practice. Its HOW you practice!

[@kenhuang3820]

Practice and practice and practice until you reach number 1 in the field. Once your number 1 you can relax is that what you thinking hell no ..you practice even harder so nobody can catch up to you so keep practicing 😂

[@yuliastone9704]

Thank you❤🌹!

[@peach-f2r3o]

Thank you~~

[@alyssathefellow3067]

How long would you say it’s a long session?

[@dudi1583]

[@Freak870]

[@kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo]
