    Hi, I just came across your video and wanted to thank you for sharing. As an older learner that has gotten back into playing after 20 years break, I can say that this kind of practice had been invaluable especially when applied to my study of Bach partita 3-prelude. Has made a huge difference in my playing. Just takes time and patience. Thanks again👍

    These tips are so helpful and right on time for my daughter's learning. She is working on shifts, second&third positions, and double stops. She is bored with the current set of finger practices. Definitely I will watch this video again with her on weekend.

  • @101502
    @101502 3 роки тому +5

    As a double bass player, the fingers snapping into place bit is really great! We don’t develop this technique as well as other stringed instruments but it’s so helpful for when we really need it given the thickness of our strings and the weight required to hold them down. Thanks for practicing tips!

  • @matthiasweiss335

    Could you do a video about your experiences with performing and stage fright, so practice room vs stage, basically everything regarding this topic, as i struggle a lot with this and really makes me think about continuing to study this instrument. I really adore practicing but performing always is a big one for me. :)

    These tips are fire!! 🔥 What you refer to as “punctuated practice” I call “rhythms,” however, it’s my go-to for learning anything on a short timeline. And the snapping finger action is rarely discussed-thank you for bringing it up and sharing your knowledge!

    @nickyork8901 10 місяців тому

    What I like about slow practice is that you can take it down to the speed at which you are totally relaxed ie. this is boringly easy, and then very gradually ramp it up, so you eventually get to where you want to be, with patience, but without ramping up the tension that would otherwise potentially come from trying to play fast....makes a huge difference when learning a piece. Also breaking things down into overlapping groups that are small enough to be easily manageable and gradually adding in one more note at a time until you can do the bigger groups.

    Very interesting! Playing brass instrument (Horn), I never thought about the idea. I guess, to get a sound and articulation right, there is hardly a way to slow down them (motion-wise) in slower tempo. The air distribution, however, is different.
    Thank you, Sumina! Even for not string instruments these tips are widely used or can be a great food for thinking.

    ¡Fantástica explicación Sumina! ¡Excelentes consejos y ejemplos! ¡¡¡Muchas Gracias!!! (Lo compartiré con mis alumnos)
    Resumen:
    IDEA PRINCIPAL:
    Aprender a Estudiar y Tocar en Lento (QUE SUENE LENTO) pero Pensar y Actuar Rápido.
    EJERCICIOS:
    1. Práctica con Puntillo: Sobre una nota tranquila y la pausa que sigue a dicha nota tienes tiempo de preparar y calcular la alta actividad (reacción o reflejos) de los 2 gestos veloces y precisos que continúan a la nota espaciosa. La nueva detención permite relajarse y volverte a preparar para tocar con mucha reacción (reflejos) las dos notas siguientes. (Este es un verdadero entrenamiento y también un complemento fantástico a la práctica con Metrónomo. Al contrario que la práctica con Metrónomo, aquí se concentra la atención en pocas notas pero se busca una alta reacción y efectividad).
    1. 1. Sobre dos notas.
    1.1.1. Normal (lento-rápido). Practicado en velocidad lenta y rápida. (Recuerda que cuando sea en velocidad lenta, también debes pensar y reaccionar rápido).
    1.1.2. Invertido (rápido-lento). Practicado en velocidad lenta y rápida.
    1.2. Sobre tres notas (y se varía el lugar de la nota larga o de descanso). Practicado en velocidad lenta y rápida.
    Siempre tocar con notas cortas y en golpe de arco suelto (no legato).
    2. Ejercicios con alternancia de 2 notas contiguas (veloz, ligado, similar a un Trino breve).
    2.1. Comenzar con la nota inferior.
    2.2. Comenzar con la nota superior.
    3. Práctica de velocidad de arco sobre notas repetidas con la técnica del Spiccato y con velocidad invertida (comenzar rápidamente y tocar cada vez más lento, más lento y más lento). Para chequear el control al pasar de rebotes "horizontales" a rebotes más bien "verticales" (más parecidos al saltellato lento)
    "Debes poner tu técnica al servicio de la Música, y nunca al revés" - Sumina Studer.
    Les comparto una clase en español que hice sobre el Spiccato y su enseñanza que tiene mucho que ver con el punto 3.

  • @bjorklikeskidneys8496

    I have a question? When should you use slow reactive practice? Or is it a rule of thumb to always use it?
    And for punctuated practice I have the same question
    When should you use that type of practice? I imagine for scales it would be very beneficial but what about pieces? Cause you’d be practicing at a different rhythm than the actual piece or Etude or whatever you’re playing

    Hi Sumina: it is very helpful. I understand your reason for not slowing down the finger motion, but I do think you need to slow down the shifting motion to get the coordination right when you speed up.

    • @SuminaStuder1
      @SuminaStuder1  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you! Yes, shifting is a whole hurdle itself and needs to have its own foundation set for accuracy, before practicing the reactive aspect of it 😌

    So cute your Japanese dolls in the background. We called the punctuated practice bumpy rhythm in school. I also like to move my fingers very deliberately and let them snap in place. One thing that worked for me as a wind player was to slow down the runs and tongue staccato each not while moving each finger deliberately. University was good times.

    @johannesbachlein149 3 роки тому +1

    What I find really challenging on slow practice is the different bow distribution. At least if you want to get some kind of sound out of your instrument. You need another contact point, so it's hard to switch to the correct one while playing fast again (at least for me...)
