holy crap mad respect to you for being able to practice that long. can i ask what you do when you practice that allows you to spend hours focusing on a piece? (rhythms, slow practice, etc etc) 'cause right now my total practice time on a good day is probably around half of yours (edit: i realize that this may be a stupid question and that i just refuse to accept that slow practice is recommended) also i believe the amount of people who advance past area is based off the population (or so to speak) of the region? (my region/area has 28 spots for violinists i think) honestly pretty cool that your video popped up on my home page 'cause some of the all state people from my school met you this past season
@stoovb2 ай бұрын
thank you so much for watching 🥹 usually, i use very slow practice and focus my attention on how my body reacts to the music and realize any adjustments i might make (like releasing my left thumb, or adjusting the angle in which my violin is at. practice is a way for us to experiment, test, and push what we feel is comfortable and push our music making, and i think there’s a never-ending drive for discovery that allows us to practice for longer periods of time! also yes! that’s what i was thinking too, but i wasn’t so sure; thank you so much for correcting that! 😓

@stoovb2 ай бұрын
i completely agree- i was definitely very fortunate and also very lucky to have a lot of time/past experiences to have learned to feel comfortable with the environment, but even then it was a very different and daunting initial experience nonetheless. i think during that time, i tried to play as much as i could for the people around me and for people i knew were my harshest critics! but i think i’m definitely my harshest critic, so i try to record myself a lot and listen and practice through trial and error :D

Hi Kelvin
@stoovb3 күн бұрын
hm… i honestly would say that everyone’s performance will undoubtedly be affected in that kind of situation, but it’s more so the level at which they’ve prepared to that helps them perform better when they’re under pressure. or how people deal with performing under high stress situations. i would go as far to say that every one of my musician friends has expressed concerns for performance anxiety at one point or another, and it’s very normal and valid to deal with! it ultimately just comes down to how to embrace it~
