I love how you and your violin have separate beds. Lol.

[@lingling6917]

You don't need to warm up if you practice 40 hours a day ... if you're not already warm from the practice, your fingers will be warm from the inflammation

[@Sorestlor]

[@dontjudge9733]

Why are you on KZbin you should be practicing 😉

[@JessicaRyan408]

LING LING YOU SHOULD BE PRACTICING TSKKKK

[@lingling6917]

Jessica Ryan do y’all think I can’t practice and type YT comments at the same time?

[@aprilzhang8631]

ahahahahaha of courseeeeeee

[@SuminaStuder1]

Hey guys! Some of you realized that I say “thirds” but play fourths. Yes; I meant fourths - thank you for pointing it out in such a nice way! 😊 Especially since it’s my first #LearnWithMe video... clearly I’m not very good at describing what I demonstrate 😂🙄 Hope these tips helped either way! ❤️

[@PK-fw1xl]

Thank you, it's so great that you would take the time to share your habits and tips with us in such a humble way. I feel more encouraged to do well on my violin journey as an adult beginner with such lovely young artists like you, twoset and Ray in the field. My son is even more inspired as he advances in his guitar. God bless you all.

[@kellywu9992]

Thx Summia! U helped me alot

[@ThunderousThrasher]

this video helped a lot, can't wait the day i receive my first violin and start learning 😊

[@brengsek1792]

You're beatyfull, a good violin player *Indonesian

[@samanthali4415]

It’s ok 👌 I love you so much for your violin. Those scales are so good 😊

[@adelmogimenez2062]

Man, she makes the 4 octave scales look so easy and it sounds so clean 😣😭

[@lumiliyabnaapoy4283]

Thats why she said practice it everyday

[@slavneslavne]

scales 0:44 tenths 2:53 fourths 4:32 intonation 5:02 slow practice 5:40

[@edwini9954]

thirds...sounded more like fourth

[@bruno-inga]

no: are 4ths, not 3rds

[@bruno-inga]

​?

[@bruno-inga]

Perché mi dici questo? Ho commentato sulla musica. Da dove viene fuori questo commento? Perché?

[@sadhbhdelahunt]

What are tenths and fourts

[@tammydang7689]

4-octaves: Gmaj, Gm, Abmaj, Abmin - In different bowings/slurs -start with 3/4 per slur Tenths Thirds TIP: during slow practice make sure to move your left fingers quickly so your fingers memorize the movement :) This is just a note for me

[@UltraBall23]

Yuiko Oohara yes! I also tell my students that slow practice doesn’t mean slow fingers!

[@madaraszi]

I'm gratfeul for this note for yourself, I couldnt understand the bonus tip, but it's clear now. :) Thx!

[@yassenstamenov]

Fourths

[@stephenkormanyos766]

It’s just wonderful to hear accomplished artists such as yourself share your guidance, tips, and experience! I’ve picked up my fiddle after a 30 year hiatus and you’ve helped me tremendously with your advice as I try find my fingers again. Thank you so very much! Steve K.

[@nezuko3175]

I cant i believe i missed everything you said i keep looking at your face so pretty

[@annavagagginihu]

I do some Schradieck, too. I think they are very useful to warm-up left hand's fingers! 👍😊 (Sorry for my bad English... I'm italian)

[@enealiviu4797]

Your english is fine! Viva Italia,with love from Romania.🤗

[@bruno-inga]

Multumesc. Viva l'Italia🇮🇹!

[@stephenbrivati3233]

What an excellent video. I especially liked the comment about intonation being what makes the violin ring. Not sure if these are actuall overtones but every note has a sweet spot and it is amazing the number of players who play ‘in tune ish’ but never consistently seek out this ringing sound.

[@Xixi2010Z]

Thank you so much for this short but wonderful video 😊 🙏This is so very helpful because you hit all the most tricky points, such as time constraints, scale-dislike, painful 10ths and best intonation identification: the bell sound of intonation, so intuitive and insightful!

[@loribell9935]

This is the first time I've seen your video and like your ideas of warming up. I'm a beginner and appreciate all the help I can get. I will follow your plan on practicing and warming up. Love it! I will definitely look you up whenever I need that extra help. Thank you so very much!

[@SimonStreuffViolinEducation]

If you have scales in your music, it is smart to play those as the warmup with different bowings and rhythms. The chromatic approach is more complete, but talking about efficiency... ;)

[@SuminaStuder1]

Simon Streuff Violin-Education totally! I do that too sometimes - but for me personally, I feel like this way gets me more “solid” long term 😚

[@SimonStreuffViolinEducation]

Sumina Studer Violinist true!! But did you know that it is said that nathan milstein never did scales? 🙂 I found that interesting! If you ever need an argument against scales... 😂

[@vincentiormetti3048]

@@SimonStreuffViolinEducation Milsetin is Milstein Unfortunately, mere mortals like us need scales

[@rachelajutras8775]

Thanks for sharing! I love how you play!😍 Could you film a video on how you practice a certain piece?

[@Ohley]

I like ms sumina studer so much... Because of her i started learning violin.. and when i feel that im starting to lose hope because it's really hard for me, i just watch her videos and go back to my violin again.. She's really an inspiration! 😊😊

[@alexanderkent5560]

Even "just scales" sound amazing. Can't hear the bow direction change at all and 4 octaves! I find even 3 octaves a challenge.

[@biotester]

This video is so far the most helpful one for me, an older guy without a teacher. G major...., the 10th (G major) really helps! Nobody has ever told me!

[@MrTungtungliu]

Talented, passionate, beautiful, willing to share, amiable...how can your audiences dun like you. Keep it up :)

[@mr.joeselementarybandpage3799]

You're an amazing player, and my 4-5th grade violin students were awed by your Paganini video. Thanks for sharing these tips...

[@aprilmarie5756]

Love this so much! I have young children, so practicing comes in short spurts and oftentimes ends up with my daughter begging me to play Twinkle again and again.....oof; these are all things I could be doing more consistently, thank you for the wonderful tips.

[@geovannyaraya3611]

sumina helped me, thanks for the video, you are fantastic!👌

[@Soulill0quy]

That last bit on slow practice is what I always tell my students! Totally referencing this video to them now

[@kuyaviolinist5430]

This video was super helpful. It helped my intonation and shifting with scales in 3 octaves. Thanks Sumina

[@prokdave]

Thank you for this video. You are obviously a wonderful violinist and it is so nice to see good information on KZbin

[@CK-tc5sm]

Love it!! Thank you - so helpful! Tips for older beginners would be awesome (like how to increase finger dexterity, coordination, etc) 😊

[@gregoirepouchoux-nicolas3825]

Wow I can't believe you FINALLY did a practice video :D It's so helpful! Thank you so much Can't wait for some more "Learn with Me" videos :)

[@theresaryken901]

Thanks, this is helpful to me. I usually practice scales for intonation but I liked what you said about finger coordination. Also I liked your comment about your violin ringing if you are in tune. Its a more motivating goal to try to make one's violin ring than to just think about being in tune.

[@wadrianalefe6490]

Thank you so much, Sumina!you are awesome!

[@editionsrameau9016]

Hi Sumina! I always love to see what you're up to. Thanks for these tips. I wanted to point out one thing you were doing right (in my opinion) but didn't actually mention in your video ... NO vibrato with scales. That helps to focus on intonation.

[@seraphim1991]

You give amazing tips that help strengthen my fingers and prove my intonation! Also practicing scales help motivate and improve my intonation.

[@Sonibabe555]

Thank you teacher for passing on your knowledge! 💓🔔 (Heart ringing like a bell out of joy)

[@skylarfisher7485]

when i first started learning piano i had no method(still this case). Only a count. so i counted the first few keys from left to right then right to left and thought AG was DE then found it is AG AG. But when i put together the scales i did it in a way that really did what you said. (A warm spot started lighting in my belly button when i played my left hand and right hand together in the cord sequence of the scales) it reminds me of the "ring" you said. I started playing the scale faster and faster and eventually my belly button felt like a warm liquid was in the very center of my being. Thought i'd mention. I was playing a scale back and forth like you were and then my qi stirred up. It was cool. (Yes i'm me).

[@lulubananaz7028]

Yes, I definitely needed the reminder about scales...! Thanks for sharing, nothing groundbreaking by themselves viewed apart but love the way you explain the progression, makes a lot of sense. :)

[@elizabethjones1986]

Thank you SO MUCH! You explained it very well - especially with the reasoning behind why you do what you do. Knowing this I can try octaves as a cellist, which will stretch my have similar to tenths.

[@HappyScalesforDuo]

Thank you for sharing your warm-up routine. Your bonus is really informative as well.

[@johnsilvabr]

Scales is amazing!! But I need to execute it corretly.. When I am in the 3th octave, that's sad haha... Wooow Your G Scales!! Really amazing!! About the Second Tip, the harmony is really fantastic! THe third, do you get the D and A? I liked it Sumina! Congrats Girl!

[@stew148]

Scales are so good! You can use them to warm up. You can use them to focus on one part of playing the violin like different bow strokes or perfecting posture and hand, wrist, and arm movements (instead of a piece so you can focus your attention to the technique, not the notes). And scales can be used to practice shifting. The lost goes on and this comment is getting a bit long. If ever you feel like not doing scales just remember that no matter how tedious they are, you're doing yourself a huge favour. Even if it's just 15 mins per practice session of scales, you can't get worse by doing them (I hope).

[@AMARINS]

This is a super cute video, thanks! I was looking for some warm up inspiration and found it interesting what you said about the violin ringing like a bell and that that means for you that you're playing in tune. It makes a lot of sense, although I've never thought about it like that. I guess I learned intonation mainly by checking with my open strings and also checking 4ths where possible... Cool to hear some different ways of thinking about it!

[@ostromogilskaiamaria5268]

Thank you! Very helpful. I like your way to explain and the reasons of doing that or those. Awaiting for new tips and tricks video 🎶

[@CK-tc5sm]

Ps. also a vibrato exercise would be super helpful too. ;)

I’ve been playing for 5 years and I died at just the G Major scale in this video 😭😭😂😂 I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW PPL R SO TALENTED

[@joeybmas14j]

did u actually practice, cos if u did you would be talented as well

[@marielange9077]

fancypurpledolphins You are not ready for 4-octave scales after only five years of study. Practice the scales your teacher assigns you. Her point is that we should always practice our scales at the beginning of our oractice sessions, and double-check our intonation.

[@alfredofettuccine2397]

you can say you have 5 years of experience but it doesn’t really make a day if you don’t practice everyday

[@ivyssauro123]

@@orin4654 I've been learning for two years and I already do 4 octave scales, and yet my bow and intonation suck, not to mention vibrato. to each their own time, years of learning means nothing, there are people out there with 20 years under their belt who still struggle with bad posture, poor left hand and right hand technique etc etc

[@estebanlopez8879]

I loved this video and it served me to practice different

[@worshipandstrings]

I admire that you have talent for violin along with exquisite beauty and I look up to you for that :) Do you think you would consider sharing technical and expressive tips of playing violin (shifting exercises, high position scales 3 and 4 octaves, finding high notes in 5th position and up, right hand and left hand technique, playing with the correct emotion for a piece)? This warm-up has definitely helped me in miraculous ways! I'm starting to gain strength back in my fingers when practicing tenths. I would appreciate future tips and tricks from you soon!

[@road2acoustic99]

Hey Sumina, I have a HUGE admiration for you. I started to play the violin there is now one year ago ( since november 2018 ) and it became a REAL addiction :-D I practice around 2/3 hours per day since last year and my motivation is better everyday ! I think it can be a EXCELLENT idea if you make some tutorials ( especially for the left hand / intonation :-) ) on your channel because there is lot of " teachers " on KZbin but we never really see them play and when they play, it's often somes easy pieces on the first position only so hard to know their real " level ". But if a violinist like YOU make some tutorials, you would have a great credibility because your playing is just insane, awesome so I would know then that your advices are really useful and effective.. I subscribe :-) ( and sorry for my horrible english, I'm french ).

Das war wirklich sehr interessant, danke für diese lebhafte Instruktion.

[@originelly1568]

Thanks for the extratip about the slow exercise. I need to watch how fast i'll go next time. I already do the scales as a first thing, but so far i have only got 8 on a bowstring without thinking i'm dropping intonation completely.^^

[@NeomiNemeth]
