Slurred String Crossings
- great that you’re going slow
- get the weight out of the frog a bit more especially on the D and A strings.
- make sure you aren’t pressing ever
- think for the C string of dropping the elbow below the C string and pulling rather than pushing from above
G minor harmonic
- use the whole bow all the way from the frog to the tip
- Eflat extension can be lower
- Raise left arm in anticipation of the shift. elbow will end up at the same height, if you raise your arm before you shift
- shift slower, start it sooner
- make sure you’re not pushing the string down during the whole shift
G minor Melodic
- increase tempo for 8 per bow
- What’s the difference between Eflat and E natural in 4th position
Lee Study 2
- Really watch in front of a mirror doing slow work. Being super careful with right elbow placeent
- drop elbow more for C string
- use more bow everywhere
- initiate all strokes with elbow
- keep practicing in rhythms
- focus in on getting good sound quality on the C and G strings
- raise elbow before string crossings
Hunter’s Chorus
- right elbow is swinging nicely
- right arm could open more, especially on long tones and on the A string. I’m seeing too much shoulder and wrist
- careful not to rush, keep working with the metronome
- work on accents in last pattern with the accented quarter notes. Isolate into first and last note of the pattern.go into the upper half
