Day 2 of #violympics with Nathan Cole complete. Today is my 610th day of consecutive violin practice. I’m beginning to see some improvement. Today’s #violympics work included Nathan’s targeted exercises on: Bowing Patterns; Bow Circles, return to the contact point; Martele, with a fun game of Popcorn– just one pop is tough to get– But! It is incredibly rewarding, and now a new obsession!; Off-string work, whew!; Vibrato, with four new motions from Simon Fischer; and finally, Expressive Shifting: All shifting is expressive, it’s just a matter of how fast it occurs and when it happens with respect to the bow change. Check out Nathan’s Day 2 video replay here.
Happy Practicing! ||:Eat Sleep Practice:||
