Also, to find time to practice during weekends. I want to stay consistent. I will also set daily goals about what I plan to achieve in a practice session. ]]> 2022-03-08 07:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2083470176 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2083471275 Practicing daily exercises to improve my vibrato.]]> 2022-03-08 07:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2083471275 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2083474553 I think repetition is important in helping me feel more confident in the piece I am performing. ]]> 2022-03-08 07:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2083474553 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2095356415 We worked on Mozart's 3rd Violin Concerto and Beethoven's Romance in F major. For both pieces, we focused on musicality and playing with more confidence. For Mozart, it was about making a grand entrance and keeping a steady rhythm. For Beethoven, it was about moving the sound forward with dynamics and bowing. ]]> 2022-03-15 06:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2095356415 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2108445830 We worked on Vivaldi's 3rd Violin Concerto. I learned better techniques to learning the faster sections, such as breaking them into smaller chunks and making the string crossings less obvious. We also worked on adding character to the music.]]> 2022-03-22 21:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2108445830 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2108447721 We worked on Kreutzer No.2 and emphasized making the etude sound more musical. We then went to Mozart's 3rd Violin Concerto and I learned to make the concerto sound more exciting by playing around with dynamics and bowing. ]]> 2022-03-22 21:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2108447721 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2123014036 We worked on C major, A minor, D major, and Bb scale. Also Kreutzer No.2, making it more musical. Then we played through Mozart No.3 with accompaniment. ]]> 2022-03-31 06:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2123014036 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2137205523 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFl9xuYP5T8&t=1516s

I followed her on instagram and enjoyed watching her practice videos, she has a very effective practice regime and pays attention to the small details. She has a very beautiful sound and amazing technique, I really enjoy watching her play. She inspires me to practice more and practice more effectively. She's also super humble for being one of the best violinists out there. ]]> 2022-04-09 06:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2137205523 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2137207009 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I03Hs6dwj7E&t=4s

Ray Chen is very expressive in his playing and he inspires me to do the same as well as have more fun while playing the violin. I actually got to watch him play Vivaldi's Four Seasons and I got to meet and talk to him in person. He is super humble and goofy and reminds me that I don't have to take music too seriously. ]]> 2022-04-09 07:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2137207009 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2137208301 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUrjoTF8XyM

My absolute favorite trumpeter and the one that inspired me to pick up the instrument. I really enjoy his playing and he was undoubtedly talented. Only after a year of playing the trumpet, he was already playing with a professional orchestra. Even the greatest trumpeters of his time feared him. He inspires me to practice the trumpet more often and I always say that I want to be as good as him one day. ]]> 2022-04-09 07:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2137208301 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2137212214 I didn't practice too much today because I was feeling unwell. However, I practiced the B flat major and D major scale. I also played through Kreutzer No.2]]> 2022-04-09 07:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2137212214 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2137229141 I practiced F major and G major using a tuner before playing through the scale in half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, triplets, and sixteenths. I focused on Beethoven's Romance in F major, specifically the beginning. My goal was to make the introduction sound enticing and exciting since first impressions are important. I also played around with dynamics to add more musicality. I continued to practice with a metronome. ]]> 2022-04-09 08:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2137229141 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2167363162 We worked on the C Major scale and Beethoven's Romance in F major with accompaniment. We emphasized the beginning of the piece, playing it in a way to capture the audience's attention. This week I need to practice with a metronome to keep in tempo. ]]> 2022-05-02 20:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2167363162 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2170581412 I played through Kayser No.3, focusing on fingerings when shifting. We then focused on Czardes. I made improvements in shifting at the beginning, as well as intonation. However, I want to focus on being more free with the piece and not being afraid to sound messy. We also talked about using less bow when playing runs and making them more energetic. ]]> 2022-05-04 20:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2170581412 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2170585226 I practiced the C major scale, focusing on intonation and speed when playing arpeggios. I also worked on Beethoven’s Romance in F major, played around with different fingerings and worked on creating a faster and warmer vibrato. ]]> 2022-05-04 20:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2170585226 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2173695466 using slow practice technique ]]> 2022-05-07 07:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2173695466 https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2173695532 2022-05-07 07:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarston11/rvl1e83g5jcah5qi/wish/2173695532
