Many years ago, violinist Hilary Hahn created the 100 Days of Practice, a series on social media that showed snippets of her practicing over 100 days. It went viral, with countless other musicians creating their own. In 2019, I decided to take on the challenge. Here’s the first video, where I work on the famous solo from Brahms’ second Piano Concerto.
But this is only one of 100 videos I made. There are 99 to go, and I cover the following, and more:
- Tchaikovsky Capriccio Italien
- Schumann Cello Concerto
- Bach Suite 6 Allemande
- Strauss Der Rosenkavalier Suite
- Ravel La Valse
And that’s all in the first few days! I’ve arranged the entire series into a playlist, which I’ll embed below. Don’t worry, they’re not just boring videos of me practicing – I’ve made sure to make them educational, explaining why I’m doing what I’m doing. I think that these can remain a valuable resource to those who want to up their practice game.
Nice! Back to practice after watching. Thanks!
Good luck! 🙂
