Which tip was most helpful to you?

[@deadmanswife3625]

So much in less than 8 minutes.! All amazing as usual but other than a reminder to check your tuning frequently I do think I have an answer. The most helpful at this moment is a loose relaxed body so I can practice longer. I have been faithfully making sure I start in tune and my cheap violin holds a tune. Back to vibrato which is discouraging a little. I don't feel my fingers bend as well as they should. They are partly sideways

[@desertfox432]

#6 Top-notch advice. You articulated the act of phrasing to become very pragmatic.

[@lifeisbeautiful7824]

Supporting the pinky with the third..wow

[@violinlounge]

@@deadmanswife3625 yes, relaxing makes everything more natural and fluent.

[@Snowalizer]

nice explanation, it helped me a bit in some plays

[@hlyeast4785]

Augustin Hadelich is my favourite performer

[@violinlounge]

Yes, he's great!

[@MegaToti26]

GREAT video AS ALWAYS! Thank you very much!!! ❤🎉🎉 You, Perlman and Hahn are my favorite ones!!!

[@violinlounge]

Aw, thanks so much!

[@lindsaysummer5442]

Karolina Protsenko is my favourite performer, right after Lindsay Sterling. They both have a nice vibrato, can play fast and can still move around while playing.

[@Sara-wd5lk]

Wonderful video! Thinking about the melody of a piece while playing is extremely helpful! My favourite performers are Itzhak Perlman, Hilary Hahn and Julia Fischer. Thank you for your teaching, Zlata!❤

[@violinlounge]

Thanks for sharing!

[@maryellen437]

Thank you so much for your videos. They are the best I've watched so far! My favorite performer is David Garrett, especially his interpretation of Humoresque. I play it over and over again hoping one day I can sound a 10th as good as he does.

[@edwardarruda7215]

You are my favorite violinist

I'm so honored!

[@michaels7889]

Zlata your presentation has become amazingly accomplished and stands out amongst the many on KZbin.

[@violinlounge]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@robertwaroff4303]

There are so many great violinists it's hard to pick a favorite. I do find myself listening to Sergei Krylov a lot. His performance of Toccata and Fugue in D min. is so incredible to me, I can listen to it every day (and sometimes I do...)!!! Thank you for this video, I still have so far to go before I can make notes sound like something more than just notes, but I will try.

[@violinlounge]

Wonderful!

[@yurmama]

I hope that one day I’ll be able to play like you! I’ve decided im gonna start taking the violin more seriously, I really hope I don’t give up on this

[@minar0072]

The motivational and inspirational speech in last minutes was waaasom and helpful as well as....

You are my favorite violinist Mrs. Zlata!

[@deadmanswife3625]

Yes Zlata is the one. Maybe her children one day but it's Unlikely she can be surpassed. So good and so much personality. Love to watch Zlata.

[@violinlounge]

Thank you so much!

[@violinlounge]

You made my morning! Well, who knows my kids will surpass me as they start a lot younger and have me 24/7 to give lessons on demand, haha! I didn't have that guidance at home.

[@petromic1947]

The last part is very important thanks

[@violinlounge]

You're so welcome!

[@petromic1947]

As you mentioned if you play by the music sheet the music will sound like a robot player. The feelings need to be add when playing a song and you should be connected to the song

[@josephtramacchi6834]

Fantastic advice on musical direction and emphasis and an intelligent appreciation of the structure of a composition. I have often felt how a certain piece seems to long to go when listening to repertoires, your technical advice is very relevant to achieving such expression

[@violinlounge]

You're welcome!

[@lifeisbeautiful7824]

Supporting the pinky with the third for vibrato..thats a great tip.

[@miajc6606]

How can I make my pinky finger curved and relaxed when doing 4th finger vibrato? When I try, it just flattens out like if I was double-jointed, but I am not

[@violinlounge]

Maybe do some pinky strengthening exercises like tapping the pinky. Also in vibrato try to have some support from the third finger.
