Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm guessing there is some reason you haven't gotten a private teacher!. Is it money!? Don't think one will work!? I had orchestra class in middle and high schools!. Due to lack of good private instruction, I picked up bad habits!. What is the next best thing to teacher!? I don't know how good / bad you are, but joining a low-level community / church orchestra helped me!. People will sometimes give you pointers!. You may even be able to "barter" for some lessons!. I still don't have a private teacher, but this accomplished violinist: Loaned me his better violin Loaned me his Kreutzer studies book Gave pointers Vibrato - Easter eggs with dry rice or beans inside will help with the motion!. Try to get an even rhythm!. - With the violin in hand, vary the size and speed of the vibrato!. Don't collapse your wrist onto the neck of the instrument!. - Watch you tube videos of the great masters!. Copy them with your egg!. Playing by ear - Learn your scales and chords!. Once you know what scales and chords exist, you know what notes you can play!. - Turn on the radio and/ or put on CD's!. Try to play along!. I know how to play by ear and that really helps!. also, the current version of Windows media player has a way to slow down music!. - Shifting A good shifting studies book will help!. It is best to learn that systematically!. - Sight reading - Check out the tempo, dynamics, and key of a piece!. - Do rhythm exercises (there are books for those as well) - Do more sight reading; the more the merrierWww@QuestionHome@Com Do you have a private teacher!? The best way to improve on the violin is to find a good private teacher!. Practice is only useful if you are practicing correctly, which is why you need a private teacher!. Otherwise, you will likely be practicing mistakes!. Exercises may be found in a lot of books, but you need a private teacher to pick the exercises and show you how to play them!. Www@QuestionHome@Com at least once a day preferably 30-45 min!. just move ur hand up anddown the finger board in long strokes then get faster and smaller movments to eventually u get to vibrato just play around on the fingerboard for shifting and get a shifting book and then playing by ear just comes with practice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
