if you can learn it slowly you can learn it quickly

Mr. Perlman, Your statement that "if you learn something slowly, you forget it slowly" is the most helpful explanation of why slow practice is important I have heard in a long time. Thank you!

"If you learn it slowly, you forget it slowly." If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.

You can only plat it quickly after playing it slowly perfectly for months before you can play it quickly.

I never knew Itzhak Perlman had a youtube channel! It's a damn shame he stopped posting videos, it would've been a gold mine not only for every violinist or string player, but for any musician!

Dear Mr. Perlman, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the world. You have an amazing personnality, a great sense of humor and LOTS of talent. But the best of it is that you are humble. You are THE teacher! Your contribution to the world is unrewardable. Keep being that way and keep sharing with us. Thanks again for everything.

what a treat this is - I am an organist, but love the violin and cannot believe Itzhak has been so humble and generous to share, himself and his knowledge!! great!!

It is a testament to your integrity that you take time out of your day to offer valuable advice to the up and coming musicians of the world.. I already had a lot of respect for you, so this really blew me away

Mr. Pearlman, I have just discovered your videos-WOW! What a priceless gift you are giving. I love violin-play poorly, but I never in my life would have been able to "sit at your feet" and hear you speak like this. Thank you, thank you, for taking the time and sharing. This is TRULY PRICELESS, and I (and so many) am so grateful to you!

My grandma used to say "hurry slowly"

So true and not only for violin players. As a guitarist, practicing like this has benefited me the most!

Practice slowly...forget slowly; Very good advice!

Interestingly, that's how I was taught. Just like he said. Practice slowly and only phrases at a time.

this is such a great thing you do, help other violinists and just musicians in general on how to become better. thank you! i will definitely take 10 minute breaks instead of practicing 3 hours straight :)

This is like gold for every musician!

Itzhak, thank you so much on your comment concerning that we do not need Absolute Pitch to play violin well. Sometimes I have thought to my self, what is the use, how will I ever get these notes right; your comment was very helpful and will help me to go on. Thank you

Great advice and what a humble gentleman.

Toda rabah. You are the greatest musician and a mensch. God bless you!!!

I love himmmmm. He's a genius.

Thanks a lot for the videos it's such an honor to hear advices from you for youtube! Lots of blessings!

I'm happy to be the 1000th liker. What a humble man, with the talent of a hundred men, I love to hear him play and now, see him on YT! So wise, Mr. Perlman, we LOVE YOU!

This is gold for pianists too!

Thank very much Itzhak...this is a huge privilege for us who can't afford to have a violin lesson with you...this is reason enough to prove that you really are the best...be following your vids...

Thank you Mr.Perlman for sharing your knowledge &wisdom . This is great information, I can apply this to my practice habits since I'm going to be the concert mistress of the orchestra I'm in I have to step it up a little more (even though I practice daily). You are one of my favorite violinists and a huge inspiration to me. Thank you !😀

Who and why would one give a thumbs down to this???? Such great advice and just listening to his sonorous voice...a delight!

Yes, thank you Maestro! So thankful you're on KZread!

I have found the 20min on 10min off practice-set to be very effective,especially if you use a stop watch/alarm. If you can work that up to 4hrs you will be amazed at the quantum-like leap you can make - everyday!

He is talking about the two steps involved in incorporateing movement into muscle memory. I appreciate anything Y. Perlman has to say about music gained from his lifetime of expertise

This is great advice! I'm an amateur guitarist but this really applies to a lot of things in life! Thank you Itzhak!!

I'm a pianist and this is great advice for all musicians! I saw the funniest youtube of mr. Perlman and mr. Ashkenazy discussing a recording they were making. They were both so young. Ashkenazy says," you play too loud there, you cover up my high notes", and mr. Perlman was laughing and said it was not possible and he should play loud all the time. It was really a hoot.

i agree on practice,,you can work on a piece for so long it breaks you down,,leave it alone for a day,,an when you go back it feels better,,your hands an ear enjoy it more,, also practice different things ,,don't stay on 1 road,,venture out and open your mind,,play stuff that makes you smile too,,

Great to find Itzhak Perlman teaching on KZread. One of the Good Guys.

Hi Itzhak Perlman. Eu não falo inglês, mas peguei o áudio dos seus vídeos e os traduzi só pra aprender com você. Gosto muito das suas dicas, e elas me deram direção de como praticar violino de forma correta. Muito obrigado Sr. Ithazk Perlman.

thanks Mr. Perlman, I'll never forget the '' learn slowly, Forget SLOWLY". ^.^

I practice a few bars at a time, going over the same few bars again and again until I'm happy and then I continue with the rest of the piece. I started playing in March 2020 and this technique has helped me tremendously. Mr Heifetz also advised repetition too, great advice and thank you.

Great person, great musician and a great violinist!

Very interesting Maestro Itzhak Perlman!Hy is amazing and i love very much voice from Itzhak Perlman 🎻🌹❤️

your advice is indispensable. i really, really hope you continue to make videos!

Thank You Mr.Perlman for sharing your experience.

If you learn it slowly you forget it slowly. Thank you. Just that one piece of advice is very helpful and shows amazing insight. Thank you sir!! You are a great talent

Something else Itzhak said about Practicing was the following: He said, you have to know what you are playing and doing, otherwise your instinct will take over and you will maybe play well just by accicent, but not by a profound, consolidated technique. So if you dont know what you are doing, for example take me: playing along, by ear, maybe works for 2 days, after that the pseudo-technique is gone, or does not develop. Having a gift is one thing. if you know how to use it, then you will develop

Neurons are learning by creating folds in your brain. Muscle memory. It's also more difficult to get good sound when you play slow. So if you can play it slow and sound good it will sound that much better when you play it at tempo. Definitely don't overdo it. Interlochen gave me tendonitis in my shoulder because I over practiced to try to keep up, but I got to see you perform live there when I was 12. It was wonderful. I learned so much about what the talents of others contribute to becoming more self-aware, up until that point I had always been concert master. While there we had a concert master who at the age of 12 could play everything with his eyes closed by memory. He moved with the music and I had never played with a concert master who could do this before. I am thankful for that experience. It made me a better player and taught me that there are many ways to lead an orchestra.

I play guitar but this advice is just as relevant for me and others that watch my web show. Thank you!

Thank you mr. Perlman :) I really needed this. Specially with the practicing too much. I think that if I practice a lot, like an hour without rest at most, I lose the clearness on the notes if it's a fast exercise since I tense my hand because of physical fatigue. Very good to hear advice from a master, thank God for the invention of KZread I gotta say xD We're born in a privileged time.

ur the reason i picked up the violin when i was 6 and the reason i continue to pick it up every day :) thanks for all the good advice in these videos ur biggest fan ;) Sultan

THANK YOU!! I tell this to my daughter all the time, now that she hears you say it she believes it. These kids are in such a hurry nowadays.

Thank you Mr. Perlman! This video is what i was looking for in a long time!

Great to hear from the master.

Itzhak Perlman is together the BEST violoniste 🎻🌹❤️

great advice. Even though i'm not a violinist this applies to every instrument

Thank you very much for these videos Itzhak!

Excellent! Thanks. Good advice for players of any instrument

so true on so many levels, for piano I know for sure, Itzhak's awesome.

Perls of wisdom!

you are amazing!! Thanks from China and Germany

This was very nice for me to hear.

Perlman ❤🎻

Combien de temps faites-vous des exercices journalièrs pour arriver à une telle perfection..? . Vous êtes une personne exceptionnelle ! 🎻❣️🌷

Thank you for the wonderful music .... I love you dear Itzhak

Mr. Itzahk, I love your play so much!! when its your next concert in Israel??

My cousin and uncle ran into you in New York when she was doing a tour of juliard, Columbia, or some other major music University. I guess my uncle was going to get a drink of water and tilted his head to get a better look at you. You were near an elevator and said hi to him. I'm so excited to see your performance and you conduct when you come to Seattle! You're amazing! I've been playing for 9 years (violin)

Haste makes waste, gently and slowly wins the race and also practice, perseverance = reps from Ian

Cheers for Mr Itzhak Perlman !!!

Itzak is right. A sponge soaks up water quickly, but it dries out fast. If it soaks up butter, it happens slowly and is never washed out.

Can't wait until you come to the Charlotte Symphony next season.

This is such good advice!

The man is one of the most brilliant minds ever to pick up the fiddle. Every second one spends listening to him vastly increases one's knowledge.

Thank you very much, maestro!

This video changed the way I practice. Thanks Mr. Perlman.

I saw him perform tonight.

Bravo, Maestro!

Thanks....from TURKEY....

Sound advice. Thank you Itzhak.

Simple advices but essential. I liked the part " when you practice slowly you forget also slowly". How many of my students practice fast when I am not around....

I am a beginner cellist and this is very very simple yet profound advice. Thank you sir!

Mr. Perlman, how do you recommend violin students spend their time practicing--what percentage of the practice time should be allotted to scales, arpeggios, technique work, etc? Thank you so much for your generosity sharing your expertise with the world.

agree completelly!

Maestro! Thanks for all you give to us. God bless you!

PLEASE come to London and play Bach's violin sonatas and partitas! I will be there every night if you do!

ITZHAK PERLMAN HAS A KZread ACCOUNT???? actually just go soo excited right now!

Your absolutely wonderful! Thank you for all you so!

thanks mr perlman Im a big fan! what can you say about up bow staccato? how do you execute it and what's a good way to build it, is it any different on viola?

It's very useful ❤

Thanks Itzhak 😊

i love you Itzhak 🌹

thanks

Absolutely stellar advice. I was always taught, "You can't play it fast until you can play it slow, three times in a row with no error."

how does all of his videos not have millions of views?

Thank you! This helped me a lot!

This video series by Itzhak Perlman is a valuable resource. Students might also consider reading "The Art of Practicing the Violin" and "The Art of Bowing Practice" by Robert Gerle.

Really useful tips, for real, it's exactly what my piano teacher always says :)

thank you Itzak, from a bluegrass picker

Practise slowly, forget slowly!
