I always still us you tube for resource . I have a speaker and I put on the accompaniment version from you tube and play with it . I can also slow it down on you tube which is very helpful .

I practice everyday for about 2 / 3 hours . I work on all the string orchestra pieces and the jury pieces . I work on intonation, bowing , fingering. I try to practice slow (which is hard for me) and then speed it up slowly to the performance tempo. I listen to professional orchestras to get an idea of tempo and general expression. There are some passages that seem pretty impossible for me . I still try to work slowly on them . These are generally the areas where violins have very fast , chromatic type stuff . When the pickup is 7 16th notes strung together , it is difficult to move that fast . I do it slow and try to build up speed

My last lesson was about conserving bow .  How to vibrato on an open string .
Playing with the piano accompaniment and showing entrances by using body language . How to use staccato bow in the Dancla . Putting in measure numbers for pianist to make rehearsal easier .

My goal is to improve sightreading , rhythm and timing in general , speed and agility in my bow arm .  I have gained skills in these areas due to the extremely challenging pieces were are working on in string ensemble .  I have spent very much time writing in fingerings !  This has been my biggest time consumer .  I end up changing fingerings frequently as well .  For me it's not just deciding what fingering to use ... it's a learning curve on how to decide on them in general .  I  also spent much time on working out bowings .  These frequently change as I learn also .

My rep for jury is the Dancla varie #1 and Wolfhart etude .  I have been working on this in my lesson .  It's very challenging for me in that it has many expression possibilities and also bowing techniques .  I am attempting to memorize this .  If I do , it will be the first thing I have ever played from memory .

This week I practiced mostly on orchestra music . I spent a good amount of time learning how to use ForScore app on my Ipad and writing in all the annotations for John Williams 'Night at the Cinema'. I also practiced memorization on Dancla .

My goal this week ( and weeks to come) is to become a quality section leader .  Learn how to quickly access where and when to write in bowings and other dynamics and share with the section .

My resources are normally You tube .  I can usually
find many different versions of anything I am currently
working on .  I have created play lists on you tube so
that i can always go back to my favorites .  String
orchestra class also provides a listening list .

I practice about 2 hours a day .  This week not as much because
I was in Lake Havasu helping my dad get out of the hospital .
I start with scales and look at what keys I will be working in .
I do some warm ups that are just improv and work on my shifting
and vibrato by just making up tunes and little exercises for myself.
Then I start with the string orchestra music we are doing
in class.  I listen to the you tube videos and also play along with
the videos .  Then I play it without video and see if I can get
the set tempos.  I always need to workout bowing , fingering and
shifting for all the selections I work on .  I take time to figure that
out and write it into my music to share with the group .

My lesson was a split between string orchestra music and solo
music.  We worked on Mozart 40 symphony for first violin and
also Dancla air 1 .  Most of the focus was on musicality in phrasing.
We worked on fingerings , bowings and shifting areas.  We worked
on use of bow i.e. tip , middle , frog. Speed of bow .  Long or short
bowing styles i.e. Marcatto , Stacatto .

that is valuable in group settings and also for solos at events in
my community .  I have a long way to go but willing to work on
it .  I need work in all areas of violin playing .  Sight reading, bow
control, phrasing and musicality , intonation and beyond .  I am
actively working on all these areas in my lessons and in my practice.
