Playing in tune is one of the biggest challenges a violinist or violist faces (beginner, intermediate, advanced, professional, we all coop with this on our own level).

In this video I will share 5 tips with you to improve your intonation (play in tune):


1) Learn to play in tune step by step, build progress on progress
2) Play scales and etudes
3) Practice a lot and slow
4) Place your fingers confident, force yourself to this, don't deceive yourself
5) Listen to yourself and be very precise

Love,

Zlata
