In this video I show you how to practice the grace notes in the Rode. These techniques can be applied to any turnaround or trill in the middle of a fast passage.

I'm Darren Carter and I'm a 4year allstate violinist. I was ranked number 1 in the state in the recorded audition my senior year (201718). In hopes that more students from my high school (JJ Pearce) try out for allstate on violin, I'm making a series of short practice tips to make the process of preparing the etudes seem less overwhelming.

Make sure you have the correct edition (Galamian) and check the link regularly for any notes or changes (errata).
