What to Do When You're In a Practice Slump

As someone who has struggled so much with motivation to practice in the past, this topic really spoke to me. I really hope anyone struggling with the same thing resonates with a few of these tips.

Hi Corrie. This video has really helped… I have been in a practicing stump lately this summer. And even just watching this video, I made me want to pick up my violin and just play. Thanks so much again. You’re the best.

Am continuing with opening of Sibelious violin concerto. HAVE been down with infection in jaw. Am using334mm vibratory fundamental. My vibrato is much sillier and full since moving bridge twords tail piece. I practice 5 to. 15 min generally each day. I recline when I play I'm lazy. Occasionally I go outside and brace my neck on my bicycle grip to free up my thumb. I keep telling myself I'm ready to find a professional teacher but balk. Thank you for motivating me! I'm still working on vibrato with Nicola, I play her lesson almost every day for about 20 minutes and I coppy cat as best.i can her technique. I'm also incorporating Mrs. BAYLA KEYES CAPTAINS CHAIR BOW HOLD. I ALSO AM PLAYING BACK YAHUDI MENUHINS RT HND. SECTION 2 BOW HOLD EXERCISES.. THANK YOU FOR MOTIVATING ME. MY VIOLINS ARE ON MY BED AT ARMS LENGTH. AM CON A IDERING MAKING A SLING TO SUPPORT MY VIOLIN WHILE LEARNING VIBRATO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!😅

What do you think about Obligato strings? Have you ever tried them? Some people say that they sound too mellow and stick with Dominants but I recently saw some pro violinist who played with Obligatos strings and I liked how they sounded with film music theme
