Panel-ready practice tips
- 1.The opening melody sits in first and fourth position: confirm your fourth-position landing by practicing the octave jump with a drone on D.
- 2.Haydn Classical vibrato: use it on dotted-quarter notes and longer. Fast sixteenths should be clean and articulated, not vibrated.
- 3.Bow speed on the forte runs: match bow speed to dynamic, not contact point. Moving faster means lighter contact at the tip.
- 4.The ornaments at cadences: trills from the upper note in Classical style. Practice the trill in tempo rather than rushing to the resolution.
- 5.Tempo panels listen for the downbeat: practice the opening four bars with a metronome exclusively on beats 1 and 3.
