The students of Sergej Simkin (German Suzuki Association) demonstrate how effectively they practice the first Twinkle Rhythm with rotating attention.
Shinichi Suzuki, but also other well-known music teachers such as the cellist Gerhard Mantel have described a practice method that has proved particularly useful for learning new pieces, but also for review pieces: the method of rotating attention.
This practice method can be compared to the image of a spotlight, which lights up different areas one after the other and makes them conscious.
This practice principle can be applied not only to the violin beginning level but to all levels.
This practice method can be compared to the image of a spotlight, which lights up different areas one after the other and makes them conscious.
This practice principle can be applied not only to the violin beginning level but to all levels.
The most important lesson is to never repeat things the same way again and again.
The attention can be directed to another area each time a section or a whole piece is repeated:
E.g. on
- posture
- the movement of your right hand
- bow division
- sound quality
- rhythm
- intonation
- the movement of your left hand
- text security

- text security
There are countless aspects that can be practised in this way. The successes are easy to recognize, because the muscles are not tired by a too long one-sided effort and furthermore the concentration is revived again and again by changing activities.
