Ease of Relaxation and How to Obtain ItJanuary 25, 2010 at 4:19 PM I recently started to "enjoy" my playing and relax in the notes that I play. My musicality is more distinct and I am expressing my individuality much more. This has also led to less tension during more virtousic passages and better technicality. I am attributing all of this to my stricter practicing. If there is a difficult passage, I play it painfully slow (but with patience), no vibrato, and clearly listening for intonating. I practice the shifts until they are pinpoint precise. Then, the metronome is added very slowly. It is sped up well past concert tempo. This ensures that I have no worries when playing and I can continue to relax which, afterall, is the key. This also works well for easier pieces, like Mozart and Bach. Any of you have similar methods of practicing or relaxation? This entry has been archived and is no longer accepting comments. |
