How To Improve Your Violin Playing Through Recording
You can accelerate your progress on the fiddle if you record yourself playing and then listen back to it. Do this on a daily basis. If you’re learning on your […]
Hi Lisab~
Great question, maybe others will chime in on this.
I use voice memos quite a bit as well and ensure I title it ASAP if I’m keeping the recording so I can find what I’m looking for later.
Google Drive can be a good platform for storing/organizing recordings.
If you use your iphone to video record, I’d suggest right clicking on the video your going to keep and adding it to an album to access more easily later.
Calling Apple support can be a great help for getting this all familiar and easy to do 🙂
Looking forward to hearing how you make out with this, a challenge we can all relate to in these times!
I’ve recorded myself playing with the webcam on my photobooth thingy on my imac. It is helpful-the video showed I’m making huge movements with my left hand instead of keeping my fingers as close to the strings as possible. Part of why I do that is that I started out playing 12 string guitar and when I play from sheet music I’m looking at the notes instead of my fingering. Watching myself on video is quite instructive… my motto this week is : The best time to take up learning a musical instrument, like the best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago…the second best time is right now.
Also, the trees I planted 10 years ago are doing pretty well, I’m more critical of my fiddle playing , since I look at video recordings of myself I find myself distracted by how grey my hair is getting, so I’m switching to audio recordings on my handheld sony digital recorder that I record lessons and tunes I want to learn on…eliminating the vanity distraction..
