What if I told you that….
THESE THINGS MAY SEEM UNBELIEVABLE…
However, after learning multiple instruments and teaching the violin for more than 15 years, I know these to be true. You can become a better violin player in less time and effort by simply learning the art of practicing.
Here is How Practice Smarter will Help You
Practice Smarter is a step-by-step course in which you will learn how to practice effectively. It will guide you through the best violin practice techniques, so you will make more progress in less time!
Improve Your Playing In Less Time
Having a consistent and optimized practice routine is one of the best ways to become a better violin player efficiently. Learn simple ways and techniques to practice difficult passages, so that you will be able to play your favourite songs in less time!
Know Exactly What to Practice
Nothing is as unproductive as starting your practice session with no clear goal in mind. Knowing exactly what you want to practice – and having a plan for how to go about it – will inspire you to pick up your violin and follow through on your plan.
Get into a Consistent Practice Routine
A rewarding practice routine is one of the best ways to feel a strong sense of motivation to stay consistent with your practice. No amount of discipline or willpower is as powerful as the sense of musical fulfillment you feel if you are seeing yourself achieving your musical goals little by little each time you practice.
Get Weekly Support & Guidance
Along with instant access to all your weekly course materials, you also get access to a community of other students, as well as access to me & another professional violin teacher to ask all your questions during office hours, all for no additional payment.
Invest Time in Your Practice
A lot of violin players never make time to focus on improving their practice routine – and will miss out on all the improvement it would make for their playing! Joining this guided program will simplify the process and hold you accountable so that you can finally take time to focus on your practice routine and make more progress in every practice session for years to come!
Have Fun in The Process
We all started playing the violin because we loved it. This course will help you stop judging yourself for “not practicing enough” and help you instead follow a step-by-step plan to get into a rewarding and fulfilling practice routine that feels fun!
What my students are saying
Let’s take a look at what you’ll learn in each of the 7 modules:
Before we Start: Getting Ready
Create a cozy practice space and get the equipment you need to get most out of this course.
Module 1: Practice Techniques for Scales and Arpeggios
In the next modules, you will discover exactly what you need to do during your practice time to make the most out of every practice session.
In Module 1 I will show you all the practice strategies to practice scales and arpeggios effectively.
If you practice scales and arpeggios the right way, it can make an enormous difference in your intonation, sound creation, and bowing techniques. The progress you will see from practicing scales for only a few minutes every day will make you want to practice them more often.
You will also discover how much fun it can be to practice scales and arpeggios if you have a clear plan of how to go about it!
Module 2: Practicing Difficult Passages
In this module, I will share the techniques I wished I knew when I started to play the violin. I will show exactly how to go about practicing difficult passages so that you can play them with ease – even at a fast tempo. You will learn how to practice to feel confident when playing a difficult passage, how to effectively use the metronome, and more…
In this way, you will learn to play your favorite pieces in a more engaging and effective way.
Module 3: Practicing Difficult Bowings
Sometimes not the notes or the fingerings are the main difficulty you may find in your sheet music – it can be the bowing. So in this module, I will provide you with my best tools and tips that you can use in the moments when you encounter any difficult bowing passages.
After studying module 4, you will know a few different strategies to learn any challenging bowing passage.
Module 4: Practicing Intonation
Make a huge difference to the sound that you produce when you play your violin by applying the tips and techniques I teach in Module 4. This way any tune you play, even the simple beginner or nursery rhymes, will sound so beautiful!
Module 5: Practice Techniques for Shifting
Do you feel insecure when you have to do a shift? And, some of them can be really difficult! Don’t play the “hit or miss game,” but learn the shifting techniques and become secure that whenever you do a shift, it will sound in tune.
Module 6: Practicing Double Stops and Chords
The better you become at violin playing, the more advanced techniques you will encounter in your pieces.
In this module, you will learn exactly how to go about practicing passages with chords and double stops.
Learn the techniques so that you won’t feel stressed each time you get closer to a difficult double stop or a chord in your pieces.
Module 7: Creating Lasting Motivation
No matter how many great practice techniques you know or how many great teacher you’ve had, there is one key to playing the violin: being consistent.
In this module, we will go over how to stay consistent with our practice and keep making progress in difficult times – especially on the moments that our motivation is fading…
But wait, that’s not all! You also get…
BONUS 1: Tailored Practice Routines for Every Schedule
Maximize the practice time you have by making use of tailored practice routines for every time frame and situation.
In this module, I will show you exactly what and how to practice if you have 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes of practice time. In this way, you can tailor your practice routine every week to the amount of time you have available. I’ll even share how you can continue to practice without a violin, for instance when you are on a trip without your instrument!
BONUS 2: 5 Minute Practice Routines for Common Techniques
Do you have a busy schedule? Use these 5-minute practice routines to master a range of techniques in just 5 minutes a day! There are 13 5-minute practice plans included that will help you master fundamental violin skills like fourth finger strength, 2nd-5th position, straight bowing, and more! You will be surprised how much of a difference a short practice session of only 5 minutes can make if you follow these routines consistently.
BONUS 3: Setting Your Practice Goals & Routines
In order to improve your practice routine, you have to be able to identify what’s actually holding you back (only then can you make improvements to your routine!).
After that, you will learn how to set realistic and attainable practice goals to create practice motivation that lasts! You will learn how to select pieces, scales, and etudes on your level. Based on your newly set goals, you will design your own custom practice schedule so you know exactly when and what to practice.
Next to that you will receive…
Printable Practice Planner
One of the most important keys to accomplishing big goals is having a clear vision and plan to get there! No matter what level of playing you are, this planner will motivate you to set practice goals and keep yourself accountable. This 21-paged Practice Planner will help you to plan your practice sessions, stay accountable with your daily practice challenges, keep track of learned repertoire and so much more! Plus, preparing your lessons in this way will be a surefire way to impress your violin teacher and musician friends, so they’ll finally see you for the violin authority you are. 😉
Progress Guaranteed
I’ve done everything in my power to make this the simplest and most fun way to learn how to practice effectively. I am convinced that my program will equip you with everything you need to get into a motivating and effective practice routine on the violin.
But it is important to me that all my students LOVE my lessons. So if you proceed with the course, practice with my guidance, and don’t see any results, then you can email me within 60 days of purchase for a full refund.
If you’re thinking …
“this sounds amazing but I’m still not 100% sure”
… keep reading!
You should give Practice Smarter 60 day risk-free shot if you’re motivated by any of the following:
Using these practice strategies, I have:
✅ Learn to play violin concertos, Chopin nocturnes, songwriting, singing & guitar accompanying all in less than 3 years of practice
✅ Learn to play 6 instruments well enough to join a band & perform in under 1 year
✅ Become a professional violin player next to doing full-time university studies & a side job
✅ Pass the conservatory (European music school) audition with only 1 week of preparation
I say this not to brag because my accomplishments are relatively modest. After years of getting to know many extraordinary musicians, I have found that many achieved higher levels of playing in even less time!
I’m saying this because I believe you can do it too.
Are you ready to learn how to have more fun in your practice while being more effective?
