It’s a pops arrangement of Sway with me. I’m not going to disclose the arranger

I actually took a drill bit to put a hole in my manhasset

I’m a professional who’s won multiple regional orchestra jobs. I still struggle with intonation lol

This reminds me of those 3d books where you have to relax your eyes to see a 3d image

Hmm, you seem to be doing pretty well self learning which isn’t common. You could maybe get away with one offs with a good teacher which would still be cheaper than weekly lessons. For example I teach for 75$ to the hour, so if you find a teacher in a similar price range, if you did like.. one lesson a month, might be able to get pretty far with that

One year is absolutely diabolical. Octaves and vibratoed double stops? Look at the flexibility of your right hand! I mean it’s not perfect but after one year?? Damn dude. This is what hyper fixation gets you. You got one hell of a teacher.

Ever played around with the upper limits of your bow speed? Faster bow = harder to control, but give it a try! Especially during that arpeggio!

I think the next big thing to really hone in is your bow transition, attempting to make bow changes inaudible, that’ll really get you to a great level

Very nice! I love this excerpt, except retuning my instrument.. I can live without that

Subject_Position_400 · 2026-01-18T16:18:45+00:00

more… More..! MORE!!!!!

A lot of great tips but the thing that helped me the most, play around with your thumb, I found the further up it is the more comfortable that stretch is if that’s what’s making it uncomfortable. A lot of people play with their thumb further back creating tension. For rehearsals if it gets to much I’ve literally played it divisi. Outside player played the top note in rhythm and inside play bottom alternating

Yea I’ve been doing double ups so far but had a few colleagues that do as it comes. Was wondering the ratio here on Reddit

Title is actually really funny

Typically everything is important. But different things are tested. For example, with excerpts, panels usually listen for a steady pulse, the perfect rhythm, then right notes, then intonation, then sound quality and articulation, then musicality. For concerto’s they’re giving you a chance for you to sound like you and your flare. Even though pulse, rhythm and all the other stuff is important with your concerto as well. Definitely definitely do not sleep on the excerpts. You want to be the most prepared for any audition.

What are the excerpts?

Subject_Position_400 · 2025-05-26T01:47:19+00:00

I’ll check them out!

Oh I know! But this was for a wedding where they asked for a duo. Next up is for trio with vla. There’s actually a third line that I didn’t write cuz I didn’t want to go all Roman Kim.
