Thanks so much Beth for your video reply . Indeed I was waiting to hear from you in particular . As a more trained and experienced ear and a teacher most of all your advices are by far the best :) Loved the video , way too helpful. Well, yep intonation is really the most difficult part honestly . And that is what I want to achieve . While trying hard not to stop the bow while shifting ( cause I did try that , nothing wrong with your first videos believe me ) , I got so confused hearing both notes shifting, that I did not know where to concentrate first : Was I supposed to hear both notes at the same time ? Does it matter which shifting finger you seek to hear first . ( is it always important to focus on the first note and then search for the second one and try to blend together ? ) Plus had to keep in mind lots of other things as you can tell , finger pressure, finger pattern, stretching , bow speed etc. So at some point in my practice I decided to take one step at a time and send you a video of what I felt comfortable with at the moment ...so I could get the most appropriate feedback from you . Thank you so so much . Rustam , thank for your comment . Well a more trained ear like Beth says that intonation is not good ...so we both have to work on that .Is hard job . Well it is only a couple of days I just started to practise G major scale in thirds so I have not really been playing anything else to give you a more detailed reply in relation to your question . I am sure it will definitely help me improve intonation in other pieces and exercises . Barb, thanks for your comment . You are right , I too like Beth ...it is just not that easy . |

Sounds good Laura I like Beth I think it is how you connect the notes not stopping |
