2 Categories of Goal-Setting in Practice

Kreutzer 1 Dynamics with Unilateral & Bilateral Motion | Play With a More Resonant Sound
Переглядів 5414 місяці тому
Unilateral motion is when the body transfers weight toward the same direction as the bow. It helps to extend the legato stroke and encourages the upper arm to lead in very slow bows. Bilateral motion is when the bow moves in the opposite direction of the body’s weight transfer. It’s helpful for most other types of bow strokes. Even in fast 16th note passages, the body responds on a more “micros...
How To Catch the String with Arm Weight, NOT Force | Martele and Colle | Paul Rolland Bow Rocking
Переглядів 7855 місяців тому
One common pitfall of learning "catch and release" for a good martele, colle, and other related bowstrokes is pushing too hard with the index finger or overpronating the arm. This can lead to a lot of tension. A better way is to feel the natural weight of the arm into the bow, and the bow's natural weight making contact with the string. A great tool to feel the natural arm weight more easily is...

    • @Violinna
      @Violinna 12 днів тому

      it specifies the measure number of whatever the preparation exercise refers to. So for example, in the Key of A, it says m. 3 in the first shifting exercise. it refers to the 3rd measure of page 10 (Foundation Key of A)

    Hi from Argentina! Is there a book, video, something that I could learn those exercises? Because I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and i suffer from pain in muscles, etc. And i'm having a hard time to study violin, sadly :"(, and worse because i have zero money to go to have a massage, for example.

    @LatchezarDimitrov 28 днів тому

    It's all wrong! Only historical facts... All the notes must to have constant place like the A440Hz. Only the unisson must be perfect. All others intervals we must avoid to be in just intonation. Yes, the octave also! 12ET is the best way, but only without a just octave! We need a true reference how to stay in tune, an universal temperament! Nobody today ne propose different mesures for time or distance, stop please to lead people in wrong way!

    Thanks. I see some instructors suspending the bow hair above and off the string in order to deliver a colle derived motion called the brush stroke as you mention. But you start on the string and dont rely on a primarily finger extension and retraction.

    • @Violinna
      @Violinna 28 днів тому

      Any finger motion is passive in true spiccato stroke, and the forearm leads. Finger motion is more visible in some players than others and it's really a reaction as part of the momentum. However, an exercise, it's often recommended to practice developing the flexibility and strength of the fingers by doing colle bowstroke. In colle (which is different from spiccato, but not unrelated) the fingers participate more. It also starts on the string.
