Practice 1

In this video, I was practicing the song that I chose for my practical assessment. I did the practice together with my friend because we chose the same song for the assessment. Since this is our first practice, we were not good enough, so we will just do more practices to make our performance better later on.

Practice

In this video, I was practicing one of the songs from the violin book. I actually wanted this to be the song for my practical assessment. But then I changed my mind and my teacher also suggested my to play the other song instead of playing this song. So, I count this as just the warming up or the practice before I play my assessment song.

Warming up

In this video, I was playing one of the songs in Suzuki Violin Book Vol. 1 which is a good song for warming up. This song helped me to practice on the fingering because my fingers need to move fastly in this song. It helped me to play violin more fluently. I think there were some notes which were still off pitch in this video. So, I will need more practices to be better.

2 octaves scales practice

In this video, I was practicing A Major in 2 octaves with my friend. This is the continuation of the previous practices which I had before. I think, I still have to do a lot more practices so I can play better than this. I have to be good at this first because this is the basic of any songs that I'm going to play later on. Therefore, I have to be able to play this fluently first before I learn more songs later on.

Higher octave practice

In this video, me and my friend practice A Major scale (higher octave) as our warming up exercise. I think, I still did bad in this video. So, I will learn even more to play violin fluently so it will also sound better than this.

Scale lower octave practice

In this video, I was practicing A Major (lower octave) with my friend. We did this practice as the warming up before we played our assessment song which is the "Perpetual Motion in A Major".

28 / 09 / 2011

Today, we only did our rehearsal for the upcoming assessment which will be held next week. I also got chance to perform in front of the class. I think I was quite good, and I could also remember the song. However, compared to the last rehearsal, the last one was actually better because I made few mistakes today on the third bar of the song. I think I'm going to do more practices starting today so I can get better score.
