Hi! I love your videos! Would you do a video about how to practice productively and effectively while not spending 5 hours on practicing? Thank you! 💙

[@wsp912]

Very good video. As a pianist, we do the same thing: block chord (hand positions). Instead of trying to practice 1000s of individual notes one after another going from page one to end, rather, lay down the skeleton ( harmony, hand shape block chords) of entire bars or sections, then come back to add finer details (individual notes). 🎉 brain can see and memorise chunks easier and quicker that way. Creatively speaking: easier to see a tall building with balconies and potted plants as a whole, than it is to try imagining individual leaves on thousands of potted plants on floors of balconies on a high rise building 😂 The other important concept is 'prepare', which is used in sportsand many other disciplines: move into position so that you can then do the action. Move your hands ready to drop into keys or roll onto string,. Prepare prepare prepare. Ghost practice is also amazingly effective, and so is creative repetition. Mind numbing repetition does not work, but creative repetition of same phrase does: playing it an octave higher, different rhythm patterns, etc

Huh, I think I'm aware of hand shapes in theory when it comes to where the fingers should sit, but everything disintegrates because of tension and not yet knowing how the hand part of the hand should be shaped (and the wrist and arm and shoulder, and where the violin should sit to be the most comfortable...)

[@RubsViolin]

Guys I'm telling you hand shape es muy importante! Thanks Murphy!

[@sadhbhdelahunt]

Very helpful and will accelerate my playing thanks.

If you can learn slowly then you learn quickly

[@TheSparshofMusic-wn7de]

Thank you!🙏 This video was very helpful!

[@emiliamrph]

Great work as always

[@christianemichelberger8245]

Thank you, this is hugely helpful. I was wondering why I have some difficulties playing in tune - while in fact, I'm not clear where the half and the full steps are.

[@mauriziochirca8939]

In my case I do what I like to call ghost practice. By this I mean that sometimes when I'm not practicing, I read the sheet music deciding the positions I'm going to use and move the fingers as I'm playing it at that moment. Personally this makes me learn quicker since at the actual practice I0m not doubting at every note

I just found your channel yesterday as I wanted to learn how to hold the bow for the viola (I know not the violin, i like the deeper sound)..... One of your videos, you taught how your students took ALMOST A YEAR learning this. I WANT TO DO THIS, FOLLOW YOUR INSTRUCTIONS. I am two weeks into the viola on my own... Yet I hope to learn as much as I can even through You, despite the your using the violin, I hope this is possible. Your an exceptional teacher, or whom I'm looking for. I've search for hours for every day the past two weeks. I too don't want to settle for mediocre talent.

[@MurphyMusicAcademy]

We have a viola teacher at our Academy if you are interested in lessons

[@ShanaCali]

@@MurphyMusicAcademy I assumed this was primarily your channel. Had no idea, thank you so much for reaching out. I reached out to them, I hope they have just as high expectations as you do with your students. :)

[@MurphyMusicAcademy]

@@ShanaCali The Channel and Murphy Music Academy are entirely owned and managed by me (Tobiah Murphy, guy in the video). However I can't teach everyone so I've hired a few other teachers, including our viola teacher. I'm not sure who you reached out to, but I didn't receive any message to the Murphy Music Academy admin account. If you want to work with a Murphy Music Academy teacher, be sure to fill out the form at murphymusicacademy.org or send an email to [e-mail]

[@ShanaCali]

@@MurphyMusicAcademy Thank you, I see it came back as a failed message. Will redo again. So appreciated! Plus excited. My ruler and I are finally (mostly) getting along now. :)

Excellent video!

[@manolisschiller3042]

veeeery helpfull video ty :)

[@AlexProudfoot1]

Hi Debai. Thank you for piecing together some valuable steps in learning. Have you come across the Alexander Technique for aiding learning? For instance the pillar of muscle that arrives at the front of the neck at a perceived difficulty is responsible for pulling the head down with age and also rounds the upper back as a consequence. I was fortunate to learn at music college how to approach even difficult passages whilst letting this pillar rest within the neck. Not easy but so valuable.

[@jaegertiger384]

As a Trumpet player... hand shape means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to me. So, I'm forever destined to be a SLOW LEARNER. 😅😅😅

[@RModillo]

So until the large motor movements are in order, the small won't matter too much.

[@sergiocalderon8096]

Bro make a hole tutorial of the fucking Coda of the first movement is vary difficult to me to play it at 120 bpm with total control

[@MurphyMusicAcademy]

If you want me to do that you might as well just pay for a lesson
