Händel Bourrée - Suzuki Book 2

[@Havennn38]

I Just recently had this song in my Suzuki book amd i was so frustrated with how to play this and my others songs i was supposed to play and so i looked it up and this video came up and it helped So much! A few days later i had violin lesson and my teacher was really impressed! Thank you so much this really helped!

[@violingardenacademy]

I am so glad it helped! You can find all the pieces from Book 2 in SLOW practice tempo on my channel on the playlist called "Book 2 in slow practice tempo", which are even more helpful than this one! Wishing you all the best for your practice and thank you for sharing your positive experience!

[@Havennn38]

Yay! That will help a lot!!😇 Thank you so much!

[@NellieKAdaba]

I have piano 🎹 books with this piece and didn’t know how to play it either.

[@lovebugbunny5404]

Well you know how the melody works

[@lovebugbunny5404]

😅

[@winnymm6136]

I've been practicing for three months and I'm on this one! Your videos are really helpful for the bow!

[@violingardenacademy]

Wow, thats amazing! You can also find all of the Suzuki pieces (curently until end of book 4) in SLOW practice tempo on this channel and that helps even more in the beginning as you can copy the bow scheme and other technique more effectively:-) Wishing you all the very best for your practice!

[@ilovejesus972]

I’m learning this now! This truly helped a lot! Thanks!

[@kelbygard]

My son is currently playing along with this video! This helps tremendously with learning the dynamics of the song!

[@violingardenacademy]

Wonderful! So glad to be of help! You can also find all the Suzuki pieces (currnetly almost until end of book 5) in slow practice tempo, it helps alot in the beginning stages of learning a new piece! Blessings from Vienna!

This really helped me a lot, because at first my teacher didn’t really explain how to play it, so I was alone on it until I looked up this and thank you so much this really helped.

Essa é uma das música mais difíceis que estou tocando mas valerá apena quando eu aprende lá por completo

[@solar-rayz-]

Your videos are super helpful for me to play along with! Thank you!

[@gatorray26]

Wonderful piece and challenging for a (Sr) adult beginner and my efforts these past 3 1/2 yrs. Thank for the clarity and the full visual. (Thank goodness for the pause button and option to slow it or speed it up a little with that "gear wheel". Ray

[@violingardenacademy]

Thank you! Am glad to hear the videos help you! I recorded all the pieces in Book 1 -3 in slow practice tempo so one doesn't have to slow it down as the sound suffers a lot that way:-). Take a look at the channels playlist to find them, and wishing you all the best with your practice! So beautiful!

[@hunterwilder234]

So good I love the song ❤

[@MiserableLittleDoomGoblin]

Anna Lea-may I ask a technical question? I noticed at 0:10 that you appear to play the slur from D to B as a hooked bow. I really like how it sounds, but it is not notated as such in the Suzuki edition I have (there it is just a slur). If true, I am curious if this was something intentionally changed, or if this is a missing notation in the book. Either way I believe it sounds better as you play it. 🙂

[@violingardenacademy]

Hi there! Yes, of course you can ask technical question:-) I see what you mean, it looks like a hooked bow, but if you listen very carefully, you will hear that I don't stop in between the notes which one does for hooked bowing, as in this case it is written slurred. I simply distribute the bow to get much bow for the D and little bow for the B, and also slow down the bowing on the B, to get more sound on the D, as that is the downbeat. A Bourrée is a form of dance, and so this helps the listener (or dancer) to know when the down beat comes. I hopes this clarifies your question:-) And all the best for your practice!

[@MiserableLittleDoomGoblin]

@@violingardenacademy thank you for the clarification! That makes sense to accent the down beat for the dance. Looking more closely at the video at a slower speed, I can see that I was in error. Would you recommend counting "1-2-1-2" while playing to get more sound on the 1 and the 3 of each measure? Thank you for taking the time to respond!

[@Victorysdawn]

My teacher is telling me to listen to this song and then play it but when I listen to it I feel like I’m worse when I play it after.

[@violingardenacademy]

Oh dear! You can find this piece in slow practice tempo on this channel (go to the playlist section) and that should be easier for you to imitate and play along with. You can do it!🎻🌸🦋

[@bennybaker4926]

That’s just because you haven’t played it as much as the video performer. Don’t stop practicing. You will get there.

[@hualideng8813]

Fortiche nice

[@itsuki-p5y]

I tried to imitate the speed that you were playing but I just sounded scratchy. Any tips?

[@violingardenacademy]

I recommend practicing with the slow video first (you can find videos of all pieces in slow practice tempo currently until book 5 in the playlist section on this channel). When you play along with the slow version, you can pay attention to the bow distribution, where do I play each note. A common problem is that the bow is not drawn straight, or using too much bow, too much pressure or playing too close to the bridge. All of the above will result in scratching, hissing or interreupted sounds. I hope this is helpful to you, and wish you all the very best for your practice!🎻☀️🦋

[@lazaroaguero2415]

How long it take you to learn the music

[@violingardenacademy]

If you listen to it until you can recall it in your mind, or sing it, then practice everything slowly and precisely at first, then you can learn it at your fastest pace. Wishing you a lovely practice!

[@hueguy]

I don't play violin, but I'm studying different types of Baroque dances for my theory exam. Your videos have been very helpful and entertaining!

mi profe me dijo que la practique y no me sale todavía no se porque se me hace tan difícil

[@violingardenacademy]

Oh dear, dont despair! Everyone experiences the difficulty of this instrument, but thats what makes it so worth while! The most important lesson is to practice slowly. That way, you can pay attention to the details. Is your posture good? Are you holding the bow correctly? Is the left hand in the right place etc? You can also watch and play along with this piece (and all other Suzuki pieces) in SLOW practice tempo (you can find it on my channel). There you can copy the exact bow scheme that your teacher wants you to learn. You can learn this and anything you want, just keep practicing! 😊🎻🦋

@@violingardenacademy yes your video is excellent i just dont like both handel suzuki. it just feel to me like random notes!

[@emmasilver2332]

​@@elguerrero363 as a music education major who has figured out what chords go with the melody so I can accompany my violin student on the guitar rather than try to hire a pianist (I absolutely suck at piano), I can assure you it's a lot more than just random notes. The chord progression is absolutely genius (albeit quite difficult for my current skill level). Handel is quite known for his incredibly complex chord progressions, and this piece is but one of many examples of that. I'm not entirely sure if Handel or Suzuki wrote in the dynamics, but regardless they fit perfectly. A bunch of random notes strung together wouldn't sound like this; it would sound like a toddler fiddling around on the piano without a clue of what they're doing. There would be no logical chord progression, likely no way to even begin to tell what key it's supposed to be in, and creating an accompaniment for it would be an absolute nightmare for even the most advanced of musicians. Yet I, a relatively inexperienced musician when it comes to the vast majority of my peers, was able to figure out a guitar accompaniment for it, with no access to the piano accompaniment book, just by looking at the melody and humming along while I play chords that make sense. There are a total of nine chords within this piece: G, C, D7, Bm, F#7, D, Em, A7, and B7. As a comparison, most music that's written nowadays only has between 2 and 4 chords
