Hi Sumina! I'm an amateur musician. I think that was almost 2 years that I do not play something new. I was playing Vivaldi a minor concerto only to practice, (currently I am playing a lot of pop songs, mainly for wedding and family's party). Thanks for your video, it's inspire me to think at a new repertoire. Maybe Mozart sonata in G or something not hard from Bach. Thanks again! Greetings from Brazil!

Lucas Roceli i wouldn’t recommend learning new repertoire until you finished Vivaldi a minor. If you have(completed all 3 movements), you should really ask your teacher what’s next, but I did the g minor concerto by Vivaldi next, but if you want something by Bach, is a minor or his double concerto would be next. I have never done a Mozart sonata so I can’t give any suggestions.

When I get a new piece of music, I scan the key signature and the time signature to figure out what key this piece is in and what tempo should this be. Then I scan the melody and practice measure by measure with a metronome on the violin and then I set it up to be at tempo. Hope this helps, everyone!

I like to actually have my instrument on me when I’m learning a new piece and go through it bit by bit listening to a recording and mark in fingerings/any markings as I go. :) thx for your tips Sumina!!
Awesome. As a keyboard player, a huge *thank you* for what you say at min 9:15 . Furthermore: 1) Be aware that an orchestral reduction might be virtually unplayable for the pianist, as some arrangers try to cram as much original orchestral voices into that as they can. The pianist has to work on the reduction well ahead of time. 2) The pianist has to be aware of your tempo. 3) *Never* expect or demand from the pianist to play prima vista, not even for the first "play along together". So, an early meeting with the pianist to talk things out before the first rehearsal is highly advised (and appreciated). Just my 2 cts; you do a great job with your "learn with me" series!
Very good Sumina, I liked it a lot! My extra tip is reading and singing the violin part for a better understanding of the rythm and intonation of the piece and a better musicality
I usually listen, cry, and leave it :D
Hi Sumina, as a born Viennese with several years of violin training and a great love for music in general ( good pop music, e-guitarre like Joe Satriani and Mike Stern, jazz rock ... ) and classical music in particular ( Brahms, Beethoven, Mozart ... ) I would like to congratulate you first and foremost for your versatility at such a young age, for your great talent as a violinist, for your gift for language and for your talent to produce and edit very lively, joyful, lifelike and authentic videos, all together very impressive. I think there is a lot to learn from you, to love life every day and to give life the freedom that life deserves every second. Best regards, Gregor
Really great to have structure whilst learning a new piece. Thanks for sharing Sumina!

Hi, I'm a clarinet player so when I start a new piece, it's a little bit different than you. I first choose the music sheet. Then, I listen to the piece to hear what it looks like. Then, I analyze the piano part to understand the piece globally, to understand how the dialogue between the clarinet and the piano is built. After that, I sightread the piece to see where are the difficulties for me, the notes which are difficult to play, and when rhe sightreading is finished, I begin to work on the piece.
At a different stage of my life, music nowadays is a passion and hobby. I play the piano at 1% of sumina's virtuosity, but here is my view on expanding repertoire to play or study: 1. For years, my soul's love is Bach. For so many of his fugues or organ works I just kept listen, even if it's dense, even I do not understand at the time. As I progress as a casual musician over the years, there are moments when things just clicked. I listen to Gowdowsky's transcription of Bach violin sonatas before I finally is able to realize the genius writing behind the original works! very satisfying! For such prolific and important composer, i think consistent exposure and thinking about the music is key, as hilary hahn said, "we bach everyday!" 2. Specific to piano, I also love Chopin. He is very succinct in composing, yet come up with most delicate harmonies. How to play better I do not know - technically I can not perform most of his repertoire. But I have, studied, most of his works, trying to understand him better, and enjoy them more. I am reading the book "Chopin, the man, his work, and resonance", and I find little details about the work completely change some of the perception. alright, that's it for now. Hope to run into you in central park one day :)
DUDEEEEE, I WANNA WATCH THIS VIDEO SO BAD!!! U don’t know how much I actually need it cuz of quarantine I haven’t been able to have violin lessons, and I’m gonna start working in a new piece, Tysm🥰🥰🥰
Me watching this while my very first violin to be delivered in 2 days. Thank you for the inspiration. 😊
Firstly, I sit down and try to imagine the notes and the melodies and everything in my head, something like "mental practicing". Like that, I have a better plan how it should sound like later when I am playing it the first time. I remark that, when I start with a new piece like that, I have got a faster and better progress at all, because the piece is already in my head, with notes.
I don't even play the violin or any stringed instrument for that matter. But this is so fascinating!
Loved this video! Could you also make a video on bow control? I find your bow control amazing so maybe you have some tips and exercises that can help the shaking bow gang 🙈
I really enjoy and get reminded again of stuff with these «learn with me» series, thank you for sharing!
You are my inspiration for learning violin at my age (27)! Thank you for this! ❤️
Your videos are fascinating to me. The life of a professional musician is so interesting and focused. Would you ever consider a video on using technology like the tablet and pencil? How it works, what you use, and all the details. Be a good 15 minute video to be sure!
Hi Sumina! Loved the video and really appreciate the insight into how you break down a piece before even playing a note! I’d really love to see a video on practice techniques for learning a new piece. Maybe something where you show us what to do to learn a fast 32nd note passage, tricky string crossing, or big shift. I’m always looking to learn new tips to make my practicing more efficient (sometimes I find myself just playing something over and over, and I feel like I should be taking a different approach). Thanks again for the video-it was very helpful! And good luck with the Saint-Saens! Can’t wait to hear it :)
Hello Sumina Can't wait to watch the love video. I hope yo see you soon. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks on the beginning learning a new composition, Sumina Studer! Your time and talent is greatly appreciated!
the first thing i always do is to just do a cold read, not super concerned about tempo but just so i can see where my trouble spots are going to be. then i listen to a recording of it. my favorites are the ones with the scores on screen: it helps me connect the sound to what's actually going on on the page. then, before i go completely on my own, i make sure to play with the recording a few times to get a feel for rhythm, tempo, intonation, and just the overall feel of the piece. i hope this helps give some of y'all ideas! happy practicing!
Which reminds me... I need to practice! Thanks for the tips and the video
Thankfully for us saxophonists there’s only like 1 Edition from 1950 from some French publisher for 90% of our rep so step 1 isn’t a problem
Going to be EPIC as always. Great talent and work
Hi Sumina! beginner here, just finished my first month of learning :)
Hello Sumina! Can't wait for the premiere!
Noticed the mark on the bottom right side of the video. Cuuuute
I love this series🎻 ❤ Thank you so much ! from India
Thanks for your wonderful recommendation.
I really enjoy your videos. This is great advice on how to learn new repertoire. Thank you!
I absolutely have to listen to a recording first before I start learning something. Also-I need to start writing in my bar numbers!
I would like to know when do you use your iPad and when the actual physical sheet music? What app do you use?
Excellent advice! 😂 Thanx!
it would be nice to see a video of you covering some of the "difficult" dynamics or musical terms!
Hi Sumina. Thank you for your video. It helps me a lot. If you don’t mind I have a suggestion for a new video. Could please make a video about regarding the “breathing”. Basically what is breathing , how to do it , best exercises to improve it and how we perform efficiently ? Waiting to see it soon. Thank you ! 😊
Your videos are so inspiring!!! Always motivates me to practice. Thank you!
I basically have the same steps for learning new repertoire as you! High five lol But one thing that my teacher recently suggested me to do and I have found it so helpful - before actually playing the piece for the first time, trying to write down the fingerings without having your violin on hand.
Can you do a 'learn with me' video on -- how you memorize -- a complex (or any) piece of music? If you have one already and I missed it, please provide link. Thanks.
It was a very nice video Sumina! Stay healthy!😄😄😄
I’m literally learning a new piece and I’m excited to apply your wisdom to it, also lovely NYC traffic lol
Hello Sumina!! Can't wait, I'm glad it's 6:00 PM in my country :D Love from India

Nice, here we go again!
Thanks 🥰❣ I really need this video
thank you! helped me alot!
This tips are very helpful!!
I play piano, but these tips are still so useful!
I would love to learn more violin 🎻 from you
Some great tips given! Hope everyone can learn to apply some/all of these to help with their own playing. Keep up the amazing work Sumina!
Ahhh Sumina you are so beautiful and talented! Thank you so much for the tips!
yes write in bar numbers for ESPECIALLY ensemble work.
Super ❤️
Yay thank you!
thank you so much ❤️
Very interesting!
Thank you! Amazing video❤️could I ask you what kind of a tablet do you use for your music sheet?
I LOVE
Could some violin teacher explain to me why when I play double stops of open E string and C# on A String, my violin squeeks something awful at the most inopportune time. Sometimes it sounds great but there are times when I'm performing in front of friends and family, I'd get this jarring squeek from the E-string. How do I avoid this or is this a problem with the violin?

I think the bow pressure have to be reduced when playing double stops
Hiiii, Your video is some Wonderfull, New subscriber!!!
Heck ya you'll be seeing me on all of your videos 😉
i start learning a new piece by first sight reading it(but almost definitely will have zero expression stuff like that), and then i memorize it. next i go with the hardest parts of the piece. im a keyboard player just saying
Great approach. What app are you using to download, highlight and make notes on the sheet music?

Hi Sumina, thank you for an amazing video! What app do you use to annotate your music on iPad?
So Schumann , Brahms and Fauré sonatas are not repertoire? The best edition is IMG with fingerings by Francescatti....
I am interested in the app you use on your tablet for the music notation. is it for an iPad? An Android?

Hello Sumina I'm waiting ....it's evening 6 pm Indian time .....
What app were you using in the note taking?
Yaaaassss
Отличное кино !!!
Wow I can clearly see how tone color is perceived differently under our ear vs. in front of us. I know sul G sounds very different but on your video, the tone color was the same 🤔
Is it actually important to configure this channel not to send notifications for new videos? (Also, the link to the Instagram site on the main channel page is wrong!)
nice chinrest! impossible to buy anywhere
You changed your KZread name?
@5:15 left violin + lefty = cant do 😆
You're so beautiful to me ❤️ not even mentioning talented
Info is not bad, but I wish i had 1000 euros for an ipad, if i had that i'd buy a violin first :)
