Hi Grace, thank you for this very helpful information. I was looking for your tutorial on CrowdCast, and there is very little information (sorry if I am missing something). Will this be live only or also recorded? How long will it be, what is the time zone? There is also mentioning of a slower class: "For those looking for a slow paced, step by step (excruciating step by step) breakdown of each technique in each section, please make sure to sign up for my "Mendelssohn For Beginners" class on Crowdcast." I can't find that one on the platform.
HI!! Thank you for checking out my Crowdcast tutorial page! It will be a live event with live demonstration which is why I waited until now to do the class. I wanted to make sure my arms were healed enough from the car accidents to show every step clearly. "Mastering the 5 Kill Zones of the Mendelssohn" will be held on August 14, 2024 at 3:00PM PST. The beginning step by step version of the Mendelssohn class will be launched next week. The classes were too long (because I go through each step) and needed to be ticket $360 per person per section so I wanted to make them bite sized and more affordable $90-$120/50 per class. That way those who want to only check out at certain sections like D, E, H, tranquillo (M+N), R, S, Coda can join each class separately. Thank you so much for even commenting and watching this tutorial! I am excited to meet you in the Mendelssohn Masterclass next week!! 🥰
Hi! I have finished preparing for the excruciating step by step, complete breakdown of each note, measure and technique for the Mendelssohn. I've also included a Masterclass for the Mozart Concerto No. 5 as well! Please check it out www.crowdcast.io/@graceunhaekwon. So Excited to meet you in the class tomorrow! Please let me know if you have any question! 🥰
@@GraceUnHaeKwon Thank you for the update. I didn't know about your accident, and I am glad that you recovered. I am not ready for the high speed masterclass yet, but I registered for the first slow session. We will see how this works for me, since it is midnight in my time zone (Germany). It is wonderful to have a live class, and I appreciate your thorough method of teaching. It would really help me out to have a recording after the class, particularly for the longer classes that have two sessions. The crowdcast site is very minimal in terms of the information it provides.
@@aMaudPowellFan Hi! Oh wow! Germany! Thank you so much for signing up for my class! All the crowdcast livestreams will be recorded and available to those who are registered. 😄
@@GraceUnHaeKwon That is such good news. I see that you are offering the fast course again, and this time I have registered. I figure that I can watch the sections as they become relevant to me. I gave myself until the end of the year to learn the first movement, and your slow courses are perfectly timed.
Hi im watching from indonesia. Thanks for this lesson, mendelssohn concerto is my fave, hoping to learn it one day. What level of violin do u suggest your student to learn this piece? I am learning violin and at the end of suzuki method book 4 now. Thanks
It’s a very challenging piece! Stay in Suzuki, keep practicing. Probably start it after you’ve completed all 10 books. I know it seems like a while, but you’ll be playing Mendelssohn before you know it!
Hello from Los Angeles!! Thank you so much for watching! Awesome! You're learning the Bach Double then? Oh that's fun! The Mendelssohn, too, is a beautiful concerto! Playing it is even more fun than listening to it! My personal recommendation is to learn Mendelssohn after developing a keen bow arm. The killer in this concerto is all the right arm skills that is utilized more than the demands of the left hand. You can have all the intonation and rock solid octaves in the world, but without the bow, it sounds quite immature, like a meal that's filling but doesn't leave you satisfied. In my studio, I require a couple Mozarts and Haydn Concertos to be passed before moving on to something like Mendelssohn (if the child is young.) Mozart and Haydn forces us violinist to learn how to spin the sound, use negative pressure, enunciated with the bow without pressing, know how to use accents and sFs in different ways, and developed hues in colors. I need my student to at least be able to think about these factors whilst playing before tackling a concerto like Mendelssohn in lessons. If those skills aren't developed already, it can drag on the process of learning the concerto too long OR it just sounds quite immature. If you already that those skills developed from the Suzuki books from having a great teacher or having great sensibility, then you can learn as soon as you're not scared of 5-7th position. The fear of all those swirling black notes on the page creates a mental block. So happy thoughts! 🤩 As soon as you have great practice techniques and understand how to tackle all the obstacles in the Mendelssohn, then you can play at any time. I think Sensibility and Dexterity are the keywords for Mendelssohn.
I think Mussorgsky was inspired from the opening theme of Mendelssohn's "Violin Concerto In E Minor". I listened recent and for the first time this Mendelssohn Concerto and the first part seemed so familiar to me. Where it is from??? I finally remembered: Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition!!! But what piece? I found it!!! THE OLD CASTLE!!! I listened again and again, one and another. Of course, Mussorgsky has a much slower rythm. I'm not an expert, but for me was inspiration, theft or coincidence. Somebody, tell me if I'm wrong, please. Your tutorials are great. Greetings from Romania.
Such a great video, not only for violin students, but for anyone who simply wants to know more about "What is MUSIC?" "What do musicians DO?" !! (from someone who played French horn and oboe a thousand years ago, back in the 1960s).
haha yes yes! concertos, sonatas, partitas are all pieces. Another thing that erks a lot of classical musicians, clapping in between movements.Especially in a cyclical piece like the Franck Sonata. Brings tears 🤣
Such an hard instrument to master. She seems a really good teacher. Very instructive tutorial. Bravo…

I hate it when people refer to pieces like concertos etc… as ‘’songs’’. These are not songs, these are pieces!
haha yes yes! concertos, sonatas, partitas are all pieces.
Another thing that erks a lot of classical musicians, clapping in between movements.Especially in a cyclical piece like the Franck Sonata. Brings tears 🤣
