    Good video. I have been monitoring my back muscle during practice with live camera and it is rather helpful. On the recording though, I find my left shoulder blade is always a bit forward, less so on e string and more so on g string. It is rather hard to play with a neutral left shoulder blade. I have noticed similar pattern in all professional violinist I got to observe so far. Is this part of violin play, even it puts left shoulder into a forward position. Leaning backward helps but my lower back does not like it.

    Rang the bell! Love this Dounis Scale. I call this concept 'incongruence', where some sort of variation is baked into the exercise without having to concoct anything. I keep running into so many examples where the incongruence idea can be used to supercharge an exercise or the practicing of a passage. I don't believe this scale is written down in any of Dounis's materials, is that right?? Thanks for the wonderful demo and I was glad to learn about this scale from you!!

    @hamwhacker Місяць тому

    This is such invaluable advice to relax more because of the (extra) freedom you get when your head/neck is not tense. It can transform a player, together with enjoyment of playing the violin, and cannot be taught enough, plus we forget to relax! Thank you! ❤ (I had to start thinking about this when I had severe neck problems and wish I had had a teacher like you!)

  • @thomasbrogsitter361
    @thomasbrogsitter361 Місяць тому

    Thank you very much for sharing such valuable information!!! I'm a violinist in a smaller German orchestra since 2008 and try to teach children and adults. When I try to solve both my own problems and their difficulties I often come to similar solutions as shown in your videos. So either it's a good way of playing or at least I'm not the only violinist doing this mistakes. Without joke: Your way of playing WITH the whole body works very well. And for all young violinists out there: We can't be grateful enough for these possibilities of High-Level violin education. When I was a student we always had to travel to see some lessons or had to pay a lot of money for attending masterclasses to get some of these information. (And quite often we didn't get them!) Thank you very much again, Prof. Keyes!!! All the best from Germany, Thomas Brogsitter

    I am thankful to you for teaching "energy" exercises. I also love how you talk about the anatomy of the body and posture to prevent injury. As a beginner this is priceless information you share. I think about the 'figure eight', 'petting the kitty' and 'playing into the belly button' all the great wisdom you are sharing in all the videos when I am practicing.

    I love these excerpts from a master teacher. However, I can’t help feeling the Tai Chi approach over complicates things in this case. I think Alexander technique actually gets the intended effect more simply by releasing everything through conscious relaxation of the neck and the position of the head. The spine -will- function as intended if these things are in order. We can feel energy both spiraling up and down (identical image to double helix). One of the clearest examples of this is David Oistrakh I think.

    • @Darksightkellar
      @Darksightkellar 2 місяці тому

      I'd argue that your description here is way too vague to make any applicable sense, for me, and counterintuitively rather leads to overthinking. It's really just a matter of how peoples brains work. Some will hear a simple directive, and will somewhat naturally fall into the perfect playing posture. Others will need a lot more detailed guidance. Speaking for myself, this rather simplified the whole "loose bouncy knees" for me, because it answered the "why." My brain simply cannot apply any tip/help if it doesn't understand the "why."
