@SavageArfad I absolutelly agree with you. But a professor onde told me that everyone should practice for 8 to 9 hours a day, every single day, for like, 2 or 3 years.
If you consider that time as the period that you are on the conservatory, on a master studies or whatever, is pretty ok, tho. I mean, not thaaat impossible to do

@@cadenstine7108 alot don't now actually I think the need for one of fading away most people I know only use it for rehearsal and performance not practice
Watching this video has inspired me a lot, discipline is extremely important and you take it to another level, from this moment I will organize my time better, greetings from Mexico.
Thank you Esther. I passed gd 5 violin after 20 months of lessons as an adult beginner. It was a tough call: about 2000 hours of practising, and setting impossible targets. The next grade will be more relaxed! My point is, if you are motivated you can do a lot, and I also spent a lot of time watching video tutorials, and watching pros playing - very helpful!
Gracias porque con tu video me doy cuenta que tengo que dedicar más tiempo a la práctica 🎻 por lo tanto me motiva 👏🏻 definitivamente la práctica hace al maestro ...
Esther, I wanted to let you know what an inspiration you & this video have been to me! I am a 46-year-old classically-trained violin teacher who has mostly been pursuing fiddle & folk music since becoming an adult. One of my students has gotten so advanced I had to review some of my old pieces for teaching, & I realized my classical chops had diminished, plus I rarely practised anymore unless I was working on something new for performance. So I've been watching your videos for inspiration! Seeing how you practise has lit a fire under me, & I've been practising daily in a focused way since then. It's like I've fallen in love with my violin & the music I was raised on! I also am excited to try the leatherwood rosin you recommend. I'd love to see more practise videos (they are amazing) & to see you play the Summer Vivaldi. Also, I found the music stand you are using, which I'd love to purchase myself. If you ever read this, I am curious what is the wood & stain on it. In any case, many blessings to you on all you do & become! ~ Kristalyn Pac
One thing I like to do with technique is take phrases from certain pieces that I have trouble clarifying, so that way I improve both on that phrase and on my fingers’ long-term nimbleness and strength. The Bach Double Concerto has a bunch in the 3rd Movement.
My takeaway note from this video is to save emailing, facebook, and instagram (not like right now :))) ) until the evening. Thank you for posting this video.
such dedication,, very very impressive,, i wake up in morning practice and hour then an hour also each night before bed, i started playing 3 months ago.. but u are truly a imspiration to me,,, thank you
Very good that you show your practice! Your violin sounds awesome! One advice on the Schradieck exercises: Keep the fingers close to the string. It makes it much more effective and an good warmup for quickness and a good handframe. Lifting the fingers should be quick and agile, but not too big of an movement. Especially the third and fourth finger always go very high if we don't keep an close eye on them!
Simon Streuff Violin-Education going higher with fingers will allow the player to strike the note clearer and with more security, and it is really useful for pieces which tempo is not really fast
Thank you for your comment, will definitely keep it in mind! The way I practise Schradieck is with 3 different 'touch' in the left hand: 1. as you said close to the string, with a lot of spring in the fingers 2. very slow and sensitive articulation 3. Exaggerated articulation, with a bouncy feel as each finger lifts up. I was practising the 3d one in that video :)
Pardon me are you Aaron burr sir I suppose it will have to do with the size of each neck too, I always play with shoulder rest , i can't play without It , sorry for my bad english !!
Thank you for showing us a day in the life of Esther Abrami. This was fun and entertaining to see and I enjoyed seeing your practice techniques. I hope to see other versions of this type of video for different events if it’s not too much to ask.
I looooved this. I love being able to part of Esther's world and see all this. It's hard to show the world all your mistakes. Esther, i think you are so amazing, and such a beautiful beautiful soul. ohhhh sighhh :)
I used the same method to play without a shoulder rest for 1 1/2 years, yes they were sold out for that long. A second chair Violist without a shoulder rest!
'' How come you don't have million of views ! ? Are you into classical musics only? If you could play modern music and classical musics too; well, specially modern videos you would reach millions of views, you really deserve it ! You make me think of myself when I was not working a long long time ago practicing for several hours, it really paid off for I got to enter one of the best orchestra in my country, but I left a long time ago and I was in Suzuki 4 almost reaching for book 5 then for some reasons I stopped but I REALLY regret it ! I intend to start all over again to get on track ! TRY to play modern music songs and with your wonderful skills, trust me, you will hit millions of views ! GOOD WORK !'' from the Carribean.
So nice practice time to time like this we have to practice in our time table it will be quite different because of our system of tiffin and food time thank u I am quite happy and practice
Superbe vidéo Esther! Je trouve ça super intéressant de voir comment tu travailles, ça me motive à travailler d’autant plus chaque jour! Tu as une superbe posture, et une technique incroyable.. j’espère qu’un jour je pourrai jouer aussi bien que toi 😻 puis tout a l’air si simple quand tu joues! Continue de nous épater comme cela s’il te plaît, on ne s’en lasse pas, tu es une grande source de motivation 💋
So sad that I can't follow my dream due to being too late to start to prepare for music uni. I think this will be fun and happy to do for me than actually doing calculus, taking mock exams every day, and doing my homework.
WOWOWOOOW!!! That’s a lot of studying. How do you have the motivation to practice??? I play violin too, I’ve been playing for 11 years and I’m debating whether to go into music Ed or not and I’m not sure if I would have the motivation to really put my work effort into music. I think I would, but st the same time, I can barely practice for 20 min a day 😂but this is an inspiration, so thank you!
I recently made very similar practice plans because it was getting to a point where if I don't plan it, I forget what I need to work on. And also it is interesting that we use the same books. Except the pieces since mine isn't anywhere nearly as complicated as yours are :)
it is my parent's house actually, when I filmed this video I was staying with them for a few days. My routine is still the same when I am at my home but just not in such a nice house haha!
Congratulations!👏👏 Gostei muito da administração de seus estudos, vai me ajudar na organização dos meus, adorei os seus intervalos para o lanche kkkkk thank you 😍
Your violin sounds so beautifully! I don't usually like then when they go to higher pitches because I feel like it gives me headache but yours sounds so beautiful. Btw I play the cello and I wish I was even just half as good as you are
Thanks for sharing a little bit about ur routin. So, I was thinking, why don't u make a video on the things u do to help with the studies? Could u make a tutorial for beginners, like books to start, apps and etc?
Hi Esther. Nice to see this video. It pumped me to practice more on violin. Is there any possibility to share these studies? If yes , it will be so helpful. Thank you Esther!!!
This is the life of a violin student who doesn’t have a full time job. Wish I had that much time to practice on top of being able to throw in a coffee break and do yoga. ☹️
EXCELLENT! You are VERY talented dedicated, AND beautiful young Lady. Much LUCK to you in your musical endeavors. I've been playing 🎻 4 about a year now, and getting pretty 👍. I LOVE the violin! Thank you for inspiring me! 🍀
So this was her schedule
7:30 a.m. Wake up
8:00 a.m. Breakfast
8:30 a.m. Practice Plan
9:00 a.m. Technical work (Schradiek, Dounis, Galamian 3 Octave scales, Arpeggios, Double stops).
10:30 a.m. Coffee Break
11:00 a.m. Études
12:30 a.m. Lunch
1:30 p.m. Little rest
2:00 p.m. More Practice
3:30 p.m. Yoga
4:30 p.m. Violin work on pieces
6:00 p.m. Admin. Internet accounts
7:30 p.m. Dinner
So this was a day with 6 hs. Of violin Practice, in four blocks of 1:30 hs each, with nice rest intervals.
This was a good comment. I didn't understand that people didn't like it
Exactly.. This is what I was wondering too like is it me or this isn't 12 hours of practice. But anyway she scheduled everything really good
Ya, actually, it's not that good to make the long rests(
@SavageArfad I absolutelly agree with you. But a professor onde told me that everyone should practice for 8 to 9 hours a day, every single day, for like, 2 or 3 years.
If you consider that time as the period that you are on the conservatory, on a master studies or whatever, is pretty ok, tho. I mean, not thaaat impossible to do
What an inspiring practice discipline you have! Definitely going to practice my piano more diligently now. Thanks Esther. ☺️☺️
ohh thank you so much! :) haha good luck with the piano practice! :)
