Up til now I have learned all the repertoire in Suzuki books 1-3. However as I approach book 4 I absolutely loathe the Seitz concerto. Stylistically, but also some of the intervals are just extremely off-putting and ugly to me. I can’t imagine listening to it enough to learn it well!
I am looking for an alternative piece that would cover a lot of similar skills. Thanks!
Has there been any announcement about if or when the new cast and ride changes unrolled in Batuu East will come to Orlando? TIA, I’m planning a trip soon and this greatly affects my choices.
I’m an adult beginner, I started playing about 5 years ago. I’m enjoying playing a lot EXCEPT every time I perform in my studio’s yearly recital, my legs start shaking uncontrollably while playing. Last night it caused me to really flub up my piece, though I got back on track without stopping and finished playing. Has anyone dealt with this particular kind of performance anxiety? Any tips or tricks? I have tried deep breathing, mantras, positive thinking / envisioning success.
It’s really frustrating to have such a huge gap between how I perform in private or even one on one settings and how I perform as a soloist.
