Continuation of #bachfugue With the quadruple stops now and then and the difference voice balancing, no wonder #bach Never goes out of style with practise. #ultimatechallenge Sorry about having to flip your phones for this one. In my haste I brought out my electric violin instead so had to borrow one from the centre and wasn’t planning on using the video footage for posting and filmed it landscaped. This is a Belcanto professional series BV5000 for those who are interested in a sound test. #100dayschallenge #100daysofpractice #day29 #bachviolinsonata

Still working on section E of Wieniaswski, for the the accents, I've purposely stopped after those emphasized notes. And some other ideas of practice on this technically challenging section include playing a whole section of successive notes with pretty much the same fingering as an entire quadruple stop. #practicehard #practicemakesperfect #violin #violinconcerto #wieniawski #100dayschallenge #100daysofpractice #day25 #viveioplaysconcerto

Continuation of Wieniawski's second violin concerto, this is the part where there is the 1-3/2-4 fingered upward octave scale progression, and I've made a video on how I'm practising this really challenging bit! Just swipe to your right. First find the correct intonation in super slow motion, then change rhythmic patterns, here I've done "long-short-long & short-long-short" #violinpractice #violin #violinist #wieniawski #viveioplaysconcerto #🎻 #100daysofpractice #100dayschallenge #day23 #octaves

If you haven't practised your violin for a long while due to any reason (this is my longest without practise for 2 weeks) you should start with good old #scales. Here I'm playing an E major scale in fixed fourth position. Make sure you do a crescendo as you go up the scale that helps a lot as we tend to pipe down in the higher registers. #violinpractise #100daysofpractice #100dayschallenge #violintips #violinist #violinista #day18

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

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!!! 😁😁😁

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

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 #100daysofpractice #violonist #bachsonata
