Lusitano Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Lusitano: How did you break your wrist? And will it heal well? Do you know? jezzupe: I have great admiration for anyone who can compose. While I have done a little bit for class or theory work...I can't progress past Twinkle Twinkle type 'tunes'. Stephen: I will be getting back to scales in a week or two too...in the meantime I have two pieces I am trying to polish before I move forward...and am working on basic arpeggios...finger patterns...to try and have those come easier to me when I play (especially when I need speed). Car accident and carpel tunnel * fancy excuse for the rust I have technique wise because of lack of practice* It will heal "perfectly", my flexibility will need some work though but nothing horrid.

Addie Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 If there isn't a book on how to memorize music, there should be.There is. It's called Music Structure Analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Fine Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 The book has a few chapters, I think. 1. Muscle Memory and How Good Practice Has a Long Term Impact 2. Musical Memory, Listen & Learn 3. Structural Analysis 4. Interpretive Freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 ... and chapter 5: Productive self critique. Of course, the book is useless if you haven't memorized and internalized The Rudiments of Music book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle duke Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Working on North East, or Gow style bowing, remedial scales, competition type tunes. And I use ABC for everything! After you get through with this you could move to Paganini #14. I see the influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle duke Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 And here is a hard rock song I just finished, there is a violin in there, you just can't really here it, not supposed to, underlying subliminal noise scape http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=211152 Not sure how old you are Jezzupe so the following may not be suitable for you if you're not of old school age yet. Imo, pattern your ideas after Lynch Mob and Slash's Snakepit - forgive their evilness, they mean well musically speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle duke Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 I decided to make a few sets of pegs while waiting for varnish to cure in the last few days. I'm wanting to start fitting them to the pegbox's eventually and what is holding me back this morning from opening the door is a mother possum with three babies on her back, under the porch next to the door I need to get into and one baby already in the garage where my work is, making wining noises keeping mama close by. I've already caught two of six babies and moved them a few miles away countryside. They are big, weaned kitten size so they try biting my gloved hand when picked up by the tail to be put in a trashcan for transfering down the road. The dog and two cats here are supervising me. They're probably thinking "better him than me". Because the garage leads to all kinds of areas for hiding and I'd rather not shoot or harm them, this could take awhile. Varnish needs another month or two of curing so I guess time is on my side regarding the remaining violin work left to do.............
