How To Practice to Increase Speed: Part I

Описание: This video includes the three most basic ways to work on playing faster: rhythms, bowings (articulations), and clicking up with the metronome.

Part II includes more advanced ways to work on music when you are trying to increase your speed:    • How To Practice to Increase Speed: Part II  
Part III is a demonstration of interleaved clicking up (explained in Part II), one of the most effective practice techniques for increasing speed:    • How To Practice to Increase Speed: Part III

A little bit on my background:
I attended Oberlin College and Conservatory as an undergraduate, double majoring in viola performance and neuroscience. The neuroscience was just for fun (truly!) and I had no plans to continue with it after I graduated. But when I got to New England Conservatory for my masters in viola performance, I realized something was missing. After my roommate came home from being a subject in a study at Harvard looking at musicians’ versus non-musicians’ brains, I realized I had to be a double degree student my whole life. So at NEC, I did a number of independent studies looking at topics having to do with music and the brain, as well as working for Dr. Mark Tramo, the director of the Institute for Music and Brain Science, at that time at Harvard (now at UCLA). After NEC, I attended the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University for my DMA in viola performance. While there, I took graduate-level neuroscience classes nearly every semester, I worked in a lab for a long time, I was the assistant director for two interdisciplinary symposia on music and the brain, and I developed and taught a class on music and the brain. Since that time, I have published several articles in both music and scientific journals on music and the brain (many of which you can access on my website: https://mollygebrian.com/writing/) and give presentations on the topic regularly at conferences, universities, and schools around the world. For five years, I taught viola at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where I also taught an honors course on music and the brain. Now, I teach viola at the University of Arizona, where I also continue to investigate aspects of the cognitive neuroscience of music.
