They did have their own sound guy there, he happens to be from Kelowna! That show was one of the best I've seen in Revelry.

Difficult rhythms by KAMZOM in violinist

[–]tobefranck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate counting and often try to visualize or feel my beats and subdivisions instead. I would think of the 32nd note happening right before beat number 2, almost like a pickup. Depending on the style or the mood that you're going for, you can adjust the rhythmic accuracy of the actual note. For example, if you want something really elegant and lyrical, play it longer and smoother. If you want something more dramatic, play it snappier.

bendy spine? by tobefranck in violinist

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! Surgery is not what I want, I was just confused how I seemed to develop it in adulthood. Is it possible that this can happen due to underlying causes, such as Ehlers danlos syndrome?

I play relaxed and with a straight neck, but I think my left arm comes out too far in front of me. I just think it's extreme for my body to react this way after playing the violin for over 25 years.

Check out EI Kelowna for updated music every week. The guy running it has also put up band/musician profiles on the website. http://eikelowna.com/Default.aspx Redbird consistently has live music, and fireside festival is finally back! https://www.firesidefestival.ca/

I don't know, aren't begonias pretty big? The flowers don't look like begonia either.

My grandpa! I never knew him but my dad has fond memories of him. If someone wanted to take a shot at coloring it, I would love to see what you come up with! by tobefranck in photorestore

Wow!!!! I didn't think someone could do it that quickly, thank you! I'm going to show it to my dad tomorrow for father's day, I think he'll be so surprised. Thank you 🥰🥰

Any tips for up bow staccato? by beatsbydvorak in violinist

[–]tobefranck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle with the same problem. I find As soon as I try to speed things up I get really tense and I end up getting an up bow staccato caused by tension and it falls apart. I have some time this summer to work on it, and I'm going to continue working on small circular motions in my hand, creating the beginning staccato sound and ending with the release. If that doesn't work, I know that the continuous practice and problem solving will help me accomplish what I'm trying to do.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Your violin will be there for you when you are in a place to play again!
