Mam, god bless you and thanks. Why did you shake then figure during the later part of B. I know all the experienced professionals do that to get a rhythm. Is it to sound different?
Vibrato? It comes so naturally to me that I use it for enlven basic songs. Don't worry about doing vibrato for a very long time. It's something that should be learned after you have a lot of experience.
Most, if not all teachers recommend learning vibrato after the student has already established some amount of confidence in bowing, fingering and intonation. Now, if we treat vibrato purely as a motor and dexterity exercise, disregarding intonation and concurrent bowing, shouldn't it be fully possible to teach vibrato from the very beginning? The advantages of this approach are numerous: the student gets a head start in developing the flexibility and muscular strength for vibrato movement; he is gradually taught how to relax and not grip the violin neck tightly; he is inspired to continue his violin education no matter how hard the process is turning out to be, because he pictures himself one day being able to play expressively with vibrato; and last but not least, he will discover earlier than the average student that vibrato and in general, violin playing, is not all that difficult. In learning vibrato, he needn't play it with the bow, nor apply it to any of his music. For as long as he is still trying to come to grips with other aspects of violin playing, he can practise vibrato in isolation. Just like how some babies are taught to swim while learning how to walk. You'd never need to know how to swim to get through life, but it will enrich it in years to come.
@stefanlim1776 Sure, if all participants had that view point. But, unfortunately, most students are in a hurry, especially in this instant gratification society. But I also believe that most people put vibrato on a pedestal. Music can and should be emoted with dynamics and phrasing, etc. But this video was intended to help students that don't have access to a private instructor.
Wait a darn minute here. Are you saying there's an ABCs part 2?? What comes after the letter z? Or is it like the same alphabet but on a new adventure?
It really is harder than it appears! But, I have found that when you show down and really program it into your fingers, it'll stay with you forever! You really get a good feeling of those wonderful arpeggios!
@@rachelsmusicgarden Ok thank you for answering so quickly. I really appreciate your help. I am a 54 year old beginner and I am tackling the violin and cello. They are beautiful instruments
Ooof, that's a big challenge! I would suggest focusing at one at a time... they're very similar, but not at the same time. It's better to master one, and then pick up another.
@@rachelsmusicgarden Good advice, I was actually thinking since they are notated on different clefs. Thank you again for helping, you seem like a great instructor. 😃👍
Walking fingers? My Dad joked with me as a kid about walking man, which was just his index and middle fingers pretending to walk around on the couch, my head, or whatever else seemed funny.
In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue. He had three ships and left from Spain; He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain. He sailed by night; he sailed by day; He used the stars to find his way. A compass also helped him know How to find the way to go. Ninety sailors were on board; Some men worked while others snored. Then the workers went to sleep; And others watched the ocean deep. Day after day they looked for land; They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand. October 12 their dream came true, You never saw a happier crew! "Indians! Indians!" Columbus cried; His heart was filled with joyful pride. But "India" the land was not; It was the Bahamas, and it was hot. The Arakawa natives were very nice; They gave the sailors food and spice. Columbus sailed on to find some gold To bring back home, as he'd been told. He made the trip again and again, Trading gold to bring to Spain. The first American? No, not quite. But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.
