100 Days of Practice

Day 92: next little passage of Mendelssohn concerto super under tempo with an extra ugly last note 😂 lots of shifts especially covering perfect intervals in this concerto so the intonation is just SO obvious woof😅 . . . . #mendelssohn #violin #concerto #mendelssohnconcerto #classicalmusic #violinist #100daysofpractice #practicedaily

Day 91: change of scenery! My husband and I are traveling to a dear friends wedding this weekend and I was faced with the difficult decision of: do I take the violin or not. When it’s a true vacation, it is usually tempting to leave it at home. However, this time it felt better to take it along—I knew I’d be way too overwhelmed playing catch up when I get back home, and even if I only get an hour a day in while traveling, it will keep my mind at ease. Working on a very very very new Wagner excerpt for intonation here as every note is an accidental 😂 . . . . #100daysofpractice #practiceonvacation #practicedaily #violin #wagner #dievalküre #opera #operaexcerpts #musicianlife

Day 90: not posted: the 7492749274828329 other takes I made that were even less in tune than this one! Fuckin a, this is day 4 revisiting Mendelssohn concerto and my ass is being handed to me. Pardon the profanity, but I’m so close to my 100 days I don’t care 😉 . . . . #mendelssohn #violin #concerto #mendelssohnconcerto #100daysofpractice #violinist #classicalmusic #practicedaily

Day 88: spent a lot of time writing in several fingerings for every phrase, and I’m definitely still weighing my options, but here I was just working on hitting decent intonation and making sure my hand was relaxed enough to vibrate . . . . #strauss #rosenkavalier #opera #100daysofpractice #operaexcerpts #violin #violinist

Day 87: this just sounds terrible 🤷🏻‍♀️gonna go make some cookies instead . . . . #giordano #andreachenier #100daysofpractice

Day 86: the problem with posting a piece everyone knows is that everyone knows it 😂😂 this is bringing so many memories of alllll the up and down arrows my first teacher marked in my part because I played literally every note out of tune 😂🙈 hopefully it’s a little better this time around... . . . . . #mendelssohn #violinconcerto #concerto #violinist #violin #musicianlife #musiciansofinstagram #practicedaily #100daysofpractice #progress #solo
