I am anything but a musician of any kind, so stop here and move on if you like. I just want to say I was overjoyed to discover Mr. Leong when I stumbled upon his "Songs My Mother Taught Me" (which I've listened to countless times). I am amazed by everything music and the amazing talent that I am unable to fathom. Music is one of the most precious things life has to offer. Now, tonight, I stumbled Mr. Leong's lessons here and watched two of them. Besides being fascinating for what they are, it was really cool to see him as a real person, so to speak... a god on the stage, yet a real person, dressed like a real person, impersonating a human, LOL. That bass voice was a great surprise to encounter, and any person who is that articulate has my admiration (down here in the states it's not often encountered). And finally, there's that smile, that twinkle. More, please! 🙂
Kerson I'm so relieved that you made this video talking about exactly what I have been applying to my playing and my practice. I have had teachers fighting me on this subject but now I know that it's ok. Thank you🙏

The Key Aspects I founded in this video is to take your time in practices and focusing on the things that you are having trouble in a new piece of music. It also includes warming up and making mental notes on what should be worked on as a violinist.
This is such good advice. I can get so caught up in perfection from the first note of a song, and become so frustrated, that I get no where, fast! But I’ve noticed if I just focus on playing the song, and just keep going right through, disregarding mistakes, I do do much better, later, with the areas I need to correct.
Kerson! You have no idea how helpful these lesions of yours are to me! Every lesson I went through at least twice and insights you’ve provided are absolutely the most precious and long lasting. I love it that you can make the most nuanced points so clearly and bang on. Thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏
I am always so inspired to pick up my violin and play an extra hour or two whenever I see your videos😆 Thank you so much for being so giving with your knowledge and experience🤗
Thank you Kerson! This concept could be applied to many aspects of life. Like when you travel to a new place. Take a bus tour and look at the city overall. Then, you can visit the particular sights you thought impressed you the most.
Thank you Kerson for making these videos. They are really helpful especially for me who has just began learning the violin. You always lead me on the right path😌
Thank you so much for these type of videos they always help me to have a different perspective in practicing and understanding the real meaning behind what the purpose of progressing is !!
Kerson, it was very interesting to listen to the advice of a musician like you! ... I immediately want to take a violin and practice a lot. Thank you so much!!!! 🇺🇦
Awesome video. I do the same sort of stuff. Always disliked warming up, although I'll start with scales still. Sight reading is one of my go to warm ups, then getting to exercises or pieces.
Efficiency is a topic I am very into recently, so what you share is pretty relevant to what I've been thinking about! I am just about to start a practice session, will start with a passage, and then proceed to Sevcik afterward to experiment a bit! Also, your French analogy cracks me XDDD
It was very useful the video, it helped me start practicing as if I had been practicing for a while instead of starting playing weird and with mistakes that mistakes that weren't there before, also nice deep voice.
I thought it is weird how I am the most tense and feel the most pain when I do my schradiek warmup. But now it makes sense, I never take it easy. Will try taking it easy.
I think if you were paying good attention to Kerson's ideas and not focusing in one detail, like zooming, you would've learned someting positive. I, for example, didn't even noticed the zooming. noticed
Your voice is so deep, so deep.....
Lowkey satisfying too

Thank you so, so much for these practice videos- this is my petition to make it a series!
That tiny skit was absolutely genius! Love the content lately^^

@Michelle Louise Davis I’m starting to think your comments are fake… mate.
@@TheKazdog So true.
Thank you Kerson for making these videos. They are really helpful especially for me who has just began learning the violin. You always lead me on the right path😌
This kind of content is SO helpful for an average musician like me. Thank you!
@Michelle Louise Davis doesn’t look fake, mate… ?
@Michelle Louise Davis Ye it’s a fkn sick video eh!
A very big talent with superb mental skills which do not paralyze the listener but in fact illuminate and inspire! He is unique among musicians today!
Thank you so much for these type of videos they always help me to have a different perspective in practicing and understanding the real meaning behind what the purpose of progressing is !!
Great analogies...see you next time my friend!

Love your advices, Kerson! You're brilliant!
awesome vid, great advice!

Thanks for this! Your voice is so nice to listen to as well :)
Most interesting. The same principle may apply to reading a book: skimming through it to take in the shape before reading it in detail.
I love his great voice and outstanding performances.
Muy valioso todo lo que mencionas. Gracias!
What a nice voice
More time to open the fridge and fall asleep in the backyard 😂
It was very useful the video, it helped me start practicing as if I had been practicing for a while instead of starting playing weird and with mistakes that mistakes that weren't there before, also nice deep voice.
I'll take your advice, sounds logical, hopes it works for me!
Hmmm I see what you did there with the title
Off topic, but your voice sounds dope!
I thought it is weird how I am the most tense and feel the most pain when I do my schradiek warmup. But now it makes sense, I never take it easy. Will try taking it easy.
Great video 📚👏🏻
I'll be asleep when you go live, looking forward to seeing when I wake up.
3:47 WOOAAHHH
ah mais ton français est impressionnant, j'ai beaucoup appris de tes video!
Thanks....
❤️🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍❤️wisdom
Je.. pas… merci?
😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow twoset
Hey Kerson. Are you teaching students? I'm in ottawa and I'd love to take lessons from you. Please let me know
Lucky😂
I am in south Africa🇿🇦
Kerson is my dream teacher🤩
Bro your hands are never stiff, u don’t know what stiff is, must see me playing then u will know…
I love the video and also I think the constant zooming in and out is a bit unnecessary tho ❤️
I think if you were paying good attention to Kerson's ideas and not focusing in one detail, like zooming, you would've learned someting positive. I, for example, didn't even noticed the zooming. noticed
