Hey Frode - such a brilliant exercise for both intonation and warming up, also very zen (!) Technical but allows for improv, it hits alot of buttons. It's a big part of my daily routine now, and look forward to how this clears my head before going into song specific work. Intonation has come on significantly since adopting this.

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate how practicing intonation can be a strong meditative process. I really enjoyed the video, thank you!

Thanks, thats really inspirational for me to read! Yes, I try to "meditate" through these every day at the start of my practise. I really notice if I didn't do it for a while, but still played every day at work. Theyre kind of cleansing.

Great! I use the cello drone to have a reference instead.

Thats an excellent choice! I also used to play them with a tanpura drone.Theres an app on android (probably also iPhone) called "Tanpura droid". Quite cool to practise intonation to.

Hi, and thanks! I suggest "Tanpura droid" on android or equvalent on ios. You have to manually change keys, but thats no problem. Simply a drone of indian traditional music tradition, works great!

I would disagree with you in terms of what intonation is. Intonation is not about adjusting quickly enough to the right pitch. It's about trying to hit the right note at the right pitch, and trying to do it so many times that you hit it right all the time. And then it's about reducing the amount of times you're playing out of pitch. If you approach practicing intonation by quickly adjusting to the right note, you won't reduce the amount of times you play in tune. Fx. the C you play at 2:23 does not sound good. You adjust it quickly but it will still sound off no matter how fast you are. I would approach this by playing the position or the position shift again and again, and in between relax my arm so it kind of "resets". In that way you train your body to do the right thing all the time. You don't get better intonation by concentrating. You'll hear when you're out of tune. You'll get better intonation by repeating the same thing over and over again and being able to play scales in a fast tempo. Just som thoughts. Great video!

Thanks for your nice comment! I agree, we should always strive to hit the note perfectly, but for the times when the finger strikes slightly wrong, we need to have a good flow of information between our ears, brain and hands. It doesn't sound too nice to leave a flat note flat, but ultimately, we want to aim for 100% perfection. That would be something! Good input, thanks!

@frodebassist 4 жыл бұрын

Just as a PS to my answer, perfection is a moving target. In one situation our well practised position shifts might put our notes as a third of a chord, in another we might be the root. Depending on the instrumentation around us, the "correct" intonation might be different. We should always use our ears and be ready to adjust to the circumstances. Pitch is a living and evolving entity, especially in a large orchestra.

I was thinking about that... maybe play slow and fast are two totally separated exercises. this one sounds very helpfull with the bow!
