Day 16

Practising #Brahms #sonata 1, focusing on enabling fluidity for longer phrases. Brahms has a genius way of writing music like there are no Bar lines. Still not gotten back my usual violin but this has to work for now! Just one more week to visiting my Professor after 2 years! #day16 #violinist #violin #violinist #violino #violine #violon #violin #100daysofpractice #100daysproject #brahmssonata @gillianhu hope we can play this again soon xoxo

Day 12

Excerpt on #Bach practise today at a more #andante pace, trying to get even less movements between string crossings and next will work on phrasing. 👀 are too tired so I'm wearing glasses #workinprogress #violin #violinist #music #musician #classicalmusic #classicalmusician 100daysproject #100daysofpractice #day12 #bachsonata #viveioviolinplaysbach

Day 11

Excerpt of some of Beethoven practice today. This opening theme comes out twice more in the movement so it's worth getting it right. #beethoven violin conceto 3rd movement #100daysproject #violinist #violin #violinmusic #beethovenviolinconcerto #100daysofpractice #day11

Day 9

Exercises for finger pressure. Sometimes I tend to press too hard on my strings so I find that from time to time doing this helps me to get the right pressure. It also helps me with controlling the speed of trills. #trills #100daysofpractice #100daysproject #violin #violinist #violintips #violintechnique #fingerexercise #day9 so glad I got my whole self in the frame by the way….finally!!! 😁😁😁

Day 8

Revisiting #praeludiumandallegro by #fritzkreisler #kreisler. This passage is only achievable for me if I'm completely relaxed. The moment I tense up I get all sorts of bad intonation. #relaxed #violin #violinist #amazingmusicians #day8 #100daysproject #100daysofpractice

Day 7

A melody from the heart- This is the first song that I played with Professor Zhao (赵惟俭）from the Central Conservatory of Music. Brings back warm memories 😅#russianmusic #russiancomposer #balakirev #violin #day7 #100daysofpractice #100daysproject

Day 6

Practise #day6 after exercising today, my mind is quietest then, playing #andante #bach in a slower meditative mood concentrating in keeping minimal movement of bow between strings #violin #100daysproject #100daysofpractice #violonist #bachsonata #viveioviolinplaysbach

Day 5

This is what happens when I try to practise with my toddler around. He lands up moving the camera stand all around… and tried to talk to me and dances around me. Practising #Beethoven violin concerto 3rd movement but without much success really 😅😂#day5 #100daysproject #100daysofpractice #violin

Day 4

Warm up to get a smooth sustained note with a moving note #doublestops, exceptionally difficult with a baroque shape bow. #day4 #100daysproject #100daysofpractice #scales #technique #violin it would be better to take it at an even slower tempo

Day 3

Enjoying my more acoustically balanced violin with one of my old favorites #bachsonata #adagio #bach #day3 #100daysproject #100daysofpractice #violin Also trying to get used to control and amplification. It is louder than ever! #viveioviolinplaysbach

Day 2

#day2 video of today's #practise is #bachsonata #fuga. Trying to get the 3/8 | 2/8 | 3/8 phrasing and delicate ends by stopping in between phrases. #100daysproject #100daysofpractice #violin the outcome of this is absolutely rewarding! 😅😀😁#viveioviolinplaysbach

Day 1

A good decision to start this #100daysproject if anything as a diary of learning for me and accountability 😊 #day1 practising #bachsonata #andante focusing only on the melody line but playing on the left hand the accompaniment and fingerings as written and planned. #100daysofpractice #violin #viveioviolinplaysbach
