So start at the note right before the shift and practice slowly and carefully going back and forth between that note and the shift and focus on how it feels to play it correctly 10x no intonation errors. That's the part you left out before the loop restarts.

[@juanimel_b1]

Ty bro

[@smithmusicstudies]

Use your eyes and ears to locate where the shift is (this is called fingerboard geography). Once you know where it is on he fingerboard. Close your eyes and use your ears only, checking with open strings as able, to increase your ear training.

[@seheyt]

Or practice continuing and accepting *but* observing all imperfections.

[@NareshUgaonkar]

I wish there was a easy way to learn intonation. It's so darn difficult if you have no musical background. You can't even tell if you are doing it right or wrong on a violin. Guitar at least have frets one can rely on.

[@SMTDDR]

@@NareshUgaonkar I just started learning the violin and I purchase a violin guide sticker that's now on my fingerboard with all the note locations labeled on the strings.

[@willy_wombat]

Good point.
In fact it's quit evident, nevertheless, we all have done it 😀.
Good to remember.

[@jaimeviolin]

I just had to learn this. My teacher tells me not to practicing adjusting a note but practice landing in the right spot and its been so much help

[@user-op6vy3gg2b]

Yes just pracicing scales with attention is beneficial.
Heifetz's advice.-- Practice the 3rds 4th 6th Octaves first before regular scale and arpeggios.

[@SE-gs6gd]

Agree. This is such a bad habit of mine. I’ve gotten better at recognizing that I’m doing this. Muscle memory is a powerful thing!

[@user-op6vy3gg2b]

"Practice 3rds first. And always determine to make it right at the first time, not at the second time "-
"First do mental study with music before the actual practice with the instrument. And look at the music before go to bed"
-J. Heifetz.
A great wisdom.

[@zechkurien3031]

Dang he just called me out so hard

[@chewie_charmander3101]

The man who taught me guitar told me the same thing, don't waste time trying to correct it remember it for the next time you play

[@gwen9341]

Practice doesn’t make perfect.
Perfect practice makes perfect

[@AcidSpitter783]

Yes

[@JosiahProvan]

This is a great philosophy for more than just scales too. Number one lesson I learned in music school.

[@Blagosloveniyvam-jf2zc]

THAT IS SO TRUE WOW😮😮😮😮

[@philostreet781]

Practicing correction VS practicing eliminating errors ❤

[@debbiesmith2004]

This was actually so helpful

[@beep3639]

One of the only violinists I respect, cause of the sheer clean tone. Not fast notes, not pop music, but clean airy-sound. Love it!

[@vspatmx7458]

This was invaluable..
The logic and philosophy..
Changed my life for ever.
And I don't even violin 🎻
But my attitude towards life and learning has changed forever

[@whatzause]

Thank you very much. I don’t play the violin but I play the piano and this could definitely be applied also to the piano. I never thought of it this way before. Wonderful.

[@Hahshdhbcbcyoutube]

Oh my! Such a brilliant tip!

[@snrnsjd]

Wow. An eye opener he is. All my life I've been correcting errors. Still am

[@justinbill3101]

But my friend, your 2nd E, 2nd F#, G and B wasn't in tune

[@wiltonpt1]

I love this guy!! Right on.

[@patrickbly4170]

Profound Insight....even when dealing with interpersonal dynamics ... Excellent presentation, great Role Model 🙂🙃😊

[@Heirloop]

Right on!

[@violatione]

He's right!

[@Dna4christ]

Exactly what my violin teacher has told me! 😮

[@KlimatorUzurpator91]

[@GOL_D]

[@khalidelmansouri]

I practice Arabic maqams (equivalent to scales or moods in western music) on a fretless instrument (Arabic oud) by playing without looking to the fingerboard and searching for some precise spots in order to play a half flat (quarter ton) by 👂
Typically classical conditioning experiment on my self. When I "hear and feel" the ugly note I play it louder to "perceive it" as a wrong tone. It really hurts when I press the wrong spot... almost painful to the ear and soul.
I "punish" myself with that ugly sound and get the conclusion that: next time try to use your fingers well enough to make the right moves and get the exact spot on the fingerboard (without looking at it) and the reward will be a great feeling of balance and harmony.

[@M_SC]

Nah, science doesn’t bear this out . Better to search for and find the right note so you feel the click of correctness

[@Hello_there_obi]

You cut it short 😂

[@M_SC]

This is how people train dogs wrong too, punishing them after they did something undesirable as if it makes any difference at all to the impulse to do that thing in the first place.

[@sandudosan9083]

So? Finish your thought man
