How Pro Violinists Learn Music Faster Than You

No matter how long you've been playing the violin, we all want the ability to learn music faster. And while you probably won't be able to learn the Sibelius Violin Concerto in an hour, if you understand the importance of HAND SHAPES, you will learn music faster than you ever could have imagined.

Hi! I love your videos! Would you do a video about how to practice productively and effectively while not spending 5 hours on practicing? Thank you! 💙

[AliOssol]

If you can learn slowly then you learn quickly

Huh, I think I'm aware of hand shapes in theory when it comes to where the fingers should sit, but everything disintegrates because of tension and not yet knowing how the hand part of the hand should be shaped (and the wrist and arm and shoulder, and where the violin should sit to be the most comfortable...)

[RubsViolin]

Guys I'm telling you hand shape es muy importante! Thanks Murphy!

[christianemichelberger]

Thank you, this is hugely helpful. I was wondering why I have some difficulties playing in tune - while in fact, I'm not clear where the half and the full steps are.

Thank you!🙏 This video was very helpful!

[sadhbhdelahunt]

Very helpful and will accelerate my playing thanks.

In my case I do what I like to call ghost practice. By this I mean that sometimes when I'm not practicing, I read the sheet music deciding the positions I'm going to use and move the fingers as I'm playing it at that moment. Personally this makes me learn quicker since at the actual practice I0m not doubting at every note

I just found your channel yesterday as I wanted to learn how to hold the bow for the viola (I know not the violin, i like the deeper One of your videos, you taught how your students took ALMOST A YEAR learning this. I WANT TO DO THIS, FOLLOW YOUR INSTRUCTIONS. I am two weeks into the viola on my own... Yet I hope to learn as much as I can even through You, despite the your using the violin, I hope this is possible. Your an exceptional teacher, or whom I'm looking for. I've search for hours for every day the past two weeks. I too don't want to settle for mediocre talent.

Hi Debai. Thank you for piecing together some valuable steps in learning. Have you come across the Alexander Technique for aiding learning? For instance the pillar of muscle that arrives at the front of the neck at a perceived difficulty is responsible for pulling the head down with age and also rounds the upper back as a consequence. I was fortunate to learn at music college how to approach even difficult passages whilst letting this pillar rest within the neck. Not easy but so valuable.

As a Trumpet player... hand shape means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to me. So, I'm forever destined to be a SLOW LEARNER. 😅😅😅

[RModillo]

So until the large motor movements are in order, the small won't matter too much.

Bro make a hole tutorial of the fucking Coda of the first movement is vary difficult to me to play it at 120 bpm with total control
