Hi all,
I thought I would share some of my practice bits learning from FM tutorial videos.
Here is a quick improvisation, in key of Em, a bit of spicato, staccato practice with a bit of tango rhythm.

And here is another bit of improvisation, in key of Em. The first few notes are from a Breton dance I posted a while back. A bit of marcato and finger vibrato practice.

Lot of mistakes for sure. Will work on them some more.
Thanks all,
Robert

Fantastic that you are doing this Ratvn. I love when players not only learn technique, existing works and musicality but also explore their inner musicality and artistic creativity. Keep up the great work. Thanks for the post.

Great job posting some of that. Keep working on it and eventually it'll turn into a song!!
Improvising is one of those rewarding yet frustrating activities. I wish I was more diligent about learning to improvise more systematically.
That sounded phenominal! VERY clear and just very WARM and PEACEFUL. RELAXING even! AND I don't think I ever noticed before how gorgeous your violin is!

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, @Schaick, @Fiddlestix Ken, @coolpinkone Toni, @Mad_Wed Naska, @Fiddlerman Pierre, @gwscheer, @fiddlinsteudel, and @wookieman.
Yes, you're right, wookie that it's the first time that violin was on this forum. It's a Stainer, Hungarian made, est. 1800's. I did some setup for it, tailpiece, bridge, strings, and quite a few soundpost tweaking.
