I named the most serious technique training in a little funny way. I want to make the line between the inspiring informations and usefull trainings at Morning starters and the detailed explanations with all evaluations needed, very clear. I believe that violin technique is a very complex teritory, though I know there are a little things that can be just ‘grabbed’ in front of our nose, if we get a concrete information and if we can put our focus in the right way.
I don’t want to write a book about the violin Tech because the procedures have to remain flexible. When I deal with my students I use the same structured approaches with all students, but I create customize exercises in most cases. There are very good books written out there already. Ivan Galamian, Simon Fischer, Paul Roland contributed some master works to the violin technique teaching. But there are always topics, that are not explained yet. With some disciplines of violin playing, that I specialized in, I can be confident, that I can offer even some secrets, that did’t find a place in those books but are also based on the known knowledge of the great masters. General principles can’t maintain all needs of individual cases.
My way of organizing materials is web based. All the explanations in text are written in the .paper documents by dropbox, which is linked to connected issues and includes multi media materials (PDF for scores, links to audio or video records or external links). We check the understanding of instructions by uploading audio or video home records to the ‘file request’ link where we can comment on the timeline, the specific part of the record. We can tag any external people to invite them to write their comment. Commenting others is the test of understanding objectives.
In the winter semester 2021/22 I will focus mostly on:
the right hand:
-short strokes in different techniques
-funcionality of the right hand fingers
-string crossings basics with an upper arm dexterity
the left hand:
-independence of the fingers
-when changing fingers posture could be helpfull?
-useful warming up exercises

Spletno instrumentalno poučevanje ima omejitve, s katerimi se učitelji srečujejo pri vsakodnevnem delu, vendar se raje osredotočamo na pozitivne priložnosti neprijetne situacije. Ali lahko z načinom spletnega poučevanja kaj tudi izboljšamo? S 3. decembrom 2020 smo vzpostavili 30-minutne zoom seje poimenovane »Morning starters«, ki potekajo trikrat na teden od 7. 30 do 8. ure in kjer skupaj vadijo godalci različnih stopenj.  Tovrstna uigravanja nam pomagajo pri:

  • boljši organizaciji dnevnega potek dela po jutranji rutini;
  • boljši pregled nad različnimi disciplinami violinskih tehnik;
  • organizaciji lastnega načrtovanja ogrevanja;
  • izboljšanju kondicije za igranje inštrumenta;
  • preprečevanju najstniške depresije.

Vsako srečanje je sestavljeno iz dveh disciplin – običajno ene s poudarkom na levi in ​​ene na desni roki. Včasih prepustimo vodenje vaj nekomu izmed udeležencev, tako da študentje dobijo tudi možnost, da sami vodijo vadbo in se primerjajo z drugimi.

Nova sezona »Morning starters« bo potekal od 30. novembra 2021 do 17. februarja 2022. Vsak teden bomo »Morning starters« izmenjevali z »Main Dishes«, poglobljenimi razlagami iz poglavij o violinski tehniki s priloženim gradivom za metodologijo.

Online instrumental teaching has limitations that teachers face in our daily work. But we will focus on a positive site of the unpleasant situation. Is there anything we can do in this way better? Since December 3rd 2020, we established “Morning Starters” – 30 min Zoom sessions (three times a week from 7.30am to 8am) where string players of different levels practice technique together. It helps us to:

  • organize a daily workflow better after the morning routine;
  • have a better overview of different disciplines of violin techniques;
  • organise our own planning of warming up;
  • be in better condition for playing the instrument;
  • prevent teenage depressions

Each meeting consists of two disciplines – usually one with an emphasis on the left and one on the right hand. Sometimeswe leave the leading of the exercises to one participant, so students also get the possibility to lead the exercise on their own and to compare themselves with the others.

The second winter semester 2022 will happen from November 30th 2021 to February 17th 2022. We will alternate ‘Morning Starters’ every week with “Main Dishes”, deeper explanations from chapters of the violin technique with provided materials for the methodology.

Ker se je zanimanje za moje pristope poučevanja po predstavitvah v zadnjih letih povečalo, in ker lahko jasno vidimo rezultate mojega doslednega dela s študenti, z veseljem najavljam svoj prvi poglobljeni tečaj tehnike violine/viole na spletu! Odločil sem se za izvedbo tečaja v jutranjih urah, saj je bilo zanimanje med učitelji veliko.

V poplavi informacij o violinski tehniki, ki so na voljo na spletu, je potreba po razlagi osnovnih principov različnih pristopov še močnejša. Poslušanje razlag in razumevanje še zdaleč ni dovolj za dosego našega cilja. Pri učencih, ki dobivajo redne povratne informacije, lahko opažamo velik napredek. Temo ponotranjimo tako, da se večkrat vrnemo k istemu vprašanju. Spletno komentiranje domačih zvočnih zapisov smo uvedli veliko pred situacijo s korono, saj je bilo to najboljše orodje za preverjanje razumevanja ciljev, kar nam lahko prihrani veliko časa. Veselim se deljenja svojega znanja in tehnike ter obenem tudi predstavitve svojega načina poučevanja.

Če iz kakršnega koli razloga ne bi mogli slediti rokom za interaktivne domače naloge ali se preprosto ne bi mogli poistovetiti z mojim načinom dela, vam bomo z veseljem povrnili naročnino za preostanek tečaja brez zamere. Moja želja je, da ekipa ostane močna, navdihnjena, učinkovita in dobro razpoložena. Spoštovanje različnih osebnih stilov je močna točka mojega osebnega stila poučevanja.

S komentiranjem posnetkov drugih udeležencev se boste usposobili za diagnostiko različnih aspektov violinske tehnike.

Moji asistenti boste že med samim delovnim procesom. Moj moto je namreč: “How to get there? Together!”

Veselim se srečanja z vami,

Bojan

 

“Skušala sem izboljšati menjavo strun pri znanih učiteljih po Evropi in mislila, da tega pač ne morem izboljšati, dokler nisem srečala Bojana …”
(Maša, profesionalna violinistka)

»Bojan, ne veš, kaj si pravkar naredil. 70-letnega moškega si naučil igrati sautillé v 10 minutah!
(John, profesionalni violinist in pedagog)

“Bilo je kot nekakšna razstava vaj, v kateri sem vedno našla nekaj novih uporabnih idej.”

As the interest in my teaching approaches grew after my presentations over the last years and after we can clearly see the results of my consistent work with students, I am happy to announce my first in-depth course for the violin/viola technique online! I decided on morning sessions, since there was lots of interest among teachers.

In the flood of information about the violin technique available online, the need to explain the basic principles of different approaches is even stronger. Listening to the explanations and understanding is far not enough to reach our goal. I made serious progress with players that got a regular feedback. We internalize the subject by coming back to the same issue several times. We introduced online commenting on home records much before the Corona situation. It was the best tool to check the understanding of the objectives. It can save lots of time. I look forward to presenting my knowledge, technique skills and present my way of teaching at the same time.

If you cannot follow the deadlines for interactive housework for any reason or you simply can’t identify with my workflow, we will be happy to refund the subscription fee for the rest of the course with absolutely no hard feelings. I want to keep the team strong, inspired, efficient and in a good mood. Respect to different personal styles is a strong point in my personal style of teaching.

With commenting on other participant’s records, you will become trained in diagnostics of some subjects of violin technique. You will be my assistant already on the way there. How to get there? TOGETHER!

I am highly inspired and looking forward to meeting you.
Bojan

 

“I’ve tried to improve string crossing with famous teachers around Europe and believed I can’t improve it until I met Bojan…”
(Maša, professional player)

“Bojan, you don’t know what you’ve just done. You’ve taught a 70 years old man to play sautillé in 10 minutes!”
(John, professional teacher and player)

It was like an exhibition of exercises, which enabled me to find some new useful ideas and different aspects of violin playing.“
