Apologies for the video grab of the metronome - it doesn't look right for some reason! What you hear is correct. Also apologies for being half asleep and sometimes saying 16th notes when I mean 8ths and other such silliness :)

[@polianglin9615]

I do notice that the first time it was cut into 1/3 and the last time it seems to cut into 1/4? Not sure if I got it right

[@violinhunter2]

This class is superb. Thank you!! All your classes are fantastic and thoroughly explained. Bravo!!! (None other than Bronislaw Huberman said that rhythm was the most important factor in musical expression. Frans Bruggen said the same thing. So we have Intonation, Sound, and Rhythm. With my beginning students (I only teach beginners), I sometimes have them play scales three beats to the measure while I play four beats to the measure. Then we exchange. It forces them to focus on the beat. It is tough at first, but then it becomes second nature. When it gets "easy," we start playing with the tempo, increasing and decreasing the speed at random points. It eventually leads to a sense of "control" over the rhythm.)

Thanks for your comment, and I like your exercise!

Thank you very much for this, I have great technique and musicality but rhythm is really my only point of struggle so this is very helpful

Thanks!

[@benjaminng4582]

This is really helpful! Thanks for sharing your tips 🙏

[@DanielKurganov]

You are welcome!

[@TwoSetPlaylists]

Thank you for your very useful tips! Sometimes I try to imagine that the notes on the metronome beats "create" the metronome clicks. This helps to anticipate the movements that prepare the note to be played on the click instead of lagging behind.

[@DanielKurganov]

Glad you liked it! And that’s a nice tip

[@sandravaldez8171]

Excelente Maestro, muchas gracias !!!

[@nasfrink1991]

[@reiroll5]

Thank you for all of your videos! What was the strange alarm at the end of the video?

[@hang-chichuk8406]

Cool sul A on Meditation :D I would never do that haha

[@violinow1673]

Thanks so much for this video. I think I need a video on how to use the app though. The app does not have introduction part and I am having difficulty setting it up to basic rhythm...

[@DanielKurganov]

Check out some youtube tutorials on Time Guru.

Здравствуйте Хотел спросить,если у вас упражнение ваши для стаккато на русском и как можно их заказать. Прошу ответьте мне. К сожалению в Германии не смог найти их. Задание благодарю вас и срасибо за ваши труды.

[@DanielKurganov]

Ищите "Das Staccato-Studium" Ричарда Шольца (нем.). Также рекомендую этюдные сборники Стеценко и Фортунатова. Так много бесплатных PDF-файлов доступно с помощью поиска в Google!

[@jerrydavis1475]

In Meditation second measure I liked your choice of playing the B C# and D on the A string . It sounds very nice when you shift down

[@mosesoliveira1896]

What's the Metronome's name or app?

[@ismetsabankaya827]

What is the used rhythm name
