    Thank you for this video. This actually covers Rule #23 in my studio beautifully: Don't fix a mistake and keep going - practice it a few more times and learn not to make the mistake. So many times students practice diligently to strengthen their errors. I have forwarded the link to my students!

    Absolutely spot on. When you play scales this this, it is never rote playing just to get through the scale routine. And you know why you are practicing scales. Wonderful advice.

    Nice distinction between teaching yourself self the correct shift vs. teaching yourself the mistake and then to fix the mistake.

  • @sasssssa6565
    @sasssssa6565 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    To resume: practice scale only slowly for intonation accuracy
    Shift in slow glissando for muscle memory ( to practice with no mistake rather than practice in correcting the pitch).

    Fantastic teaching and great technique. This is actually helpful to improving technique and the concept of practicing to train yourself rather than correcting a mistake. I tell my students all the time that it's not about putting on a Band-Aid for every mistake; it's about what happens right before the "mistake" that they need to work on or "fix".

  • @wiltonpt1

    proven point it actually works wonders and as a rookie my self I got to say thank you so much for this exercise I don’t read music and just try to play by ear but this works for street as well as classical I guess I seen the fruit of this because I always practice before my shift starts at work and now I get applauses and I never ever ever get them so this exercise is by far one of the best ! so thank you thank you thank you!

    I love it! I play bansuri and i see so many parallels to what your talking about! Do it slow and you eventually 'touch' the note! Then it becomes actually difficult to it wrong!
    I hope i will find the time to experiment with the violin once! Such a fascinating and difficile instrument.
    Must feel amazing!!!!

  • @redwren4182
    @redwren4182 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As an amateur, I can vouch that this is a great way to remove 'anticipation' and therefore some anxiety when shifting. Slow practice teaches you to do it right and most importantly in a relaxed way. The last thing you wanna hear is having to correct a shift that subsequently results in an audible panic.

    How to present this to a younger students? “Sliding” like this is a nice idea, I think it would make a lot of progress with shifting. But I wonder, if I speed up the tempo gradually, will the sliding be too noticeable?

    • @M_SC
      @M_SC ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No because eventually it will be so fast that the bow isn’t moving when you’re sliding

      @@alhfgsp Yes indeed. I love how un-Hollywood Augustin is...he's an ordinary guy with extraordinary gifts. I don't really warm up to a lot of the younger generation fiddlers - as one myself, I vastly prefer the great old guys and gals of the 20th century (Kogan, Milstein, Oistrakh, Haendel, Rabin, Morini, all the rest really!) But Augustin is different. He's just in a class by himself.

      @@alhfgsp yeah, he is a rarity nowadays. Most of these guys and girls just sound about as interesting as a cardboard box. Many of them have excellent technique but they don't develop adequate tone production. Their performances are mostly unmemorable. I can only imagine how much money some of them are paid, compared to what the older folks made.

    that last pharse should be also valid for repertoir, only play at the speed that you can play the rythm and intonation and secure continuity of what piece/segment you are pretending to play xd

    I wouldn’t totally agree with this approach. The way to get the most out of scales is to really Listen to yourself as you play…for intonation mainly, especially when playing scales in thirds, and fingered octaves. I’ve not heard much about this violinist but he’s no great artist. Yet. Nor is he a great pedagogue. Yet. He’s cute though!!

      You haven’t heard of him so therefore he’s no great artist?? He is still young but is definitely already among the greatest violinists of today. Take a listen to his Scottish Fantasy-one of the best renditions out there. Also, in case you didn’t understand, his approach literally revolves on building the correct muscle memory so that one can play more in tune more consistently. Though he demonstrated with regular scales, the approach can be easily carried over to thirds, sixths, octaves, and tenths. You can’t exercise this approach without closely listening to yourself either, so I don’t get your point here.
