How to execute fast fingering of trills when playing the violin?
Q. The harder I try the more frustrated I am. Which technique should be applied?
Asked by Josh - Sun Mar 19 10:40:50 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Don't try too hard -- if your fingers get tense it will just slow you down. Relaxation is the key to good trilling, using minimum pressure on the string, and moving the finger as little as possible. Sometimes trilling with a dotted, slow-fast-slow rhythm can help your fingers develop. Generally it helps to try just one or 2 trills at a time - starting on the lower and gently 'tapping' the upper note. Imagine your finger as a snake, which strikes the string and then relaxes back from the string. Metronome may help, but it can also be awfully tedious.

A. okay. i play trombone, this works for me and it shoud work for you. Now if you mean trills like A-Ab-A-Ab kind of thing then you should try quickly loosening and tightening your embochoure (lip structure) so that the pitch goes flat and sharp. Now if you want a vibrato type feel, open and close your jaw and the sound will go wah wah wah lol. it takes a bit of practice.

How difficult is it to play trills on the pedal of an organ?
Q. I'd like to know from people who play the organ: how difficult is it to play trills on the pedal, and are there any special tricks to accomplish this? Also, is it possible to play two independent melodies on the pedal, given that the two are not "too complicated"? Are there any well-known pieces which require one to do so? Thanks in advance. P.S. I don't play the organ myself; just curious. :-)

How to Play Trills: Baroque and Further On?
Q. How do you play trills in Baroque and other [time period(s)] music? In Baroque music, when you play a C trill, do you play B and C, or C and D? In other words, does the Baroque trill go up or down? In non-Baroque music, is the trill played the opposite direction to the Baroque trill? Thanks!

A. Trills by definition go to the note above. the question is which note to start on. in the Baroque trills start on the note above unless otherwise noted in a primer. in other time periods the trill still usually begins on the note above though you should do a little research to make sure.

Asked by Maggie - Thu Sep 3 12:49:34 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. When you have an interval between notes, it is called a tremolo, not a trill - and many of these are PAINS to play! You will have to use harmonic fingering, and overblow. I will teach you how to LEARN this - then how to play it in band: Play a High F - real fingering. Now, play a Bb, 2nd octave (use the thumb key!), but make it crack, so it sound like a high F (yes, it will be a little windy and out of tune). Remember what this feels/sounds like. Ok - let's get the D - play a high D - then close the C key, so it looks like a G - but still make it crack up to the D. Here's the last step - tremolo (you called it trill - that's OK) between the G fingering and the thumb Bb - but make them BOTH crack up to the higher notes. You got… [cont.]

Is it important to know how to trill your Rs when learning another language?
Q. I was planning to learn Japanese and Italian but I really cannot trill my Rs, no matter how much I try. Is it necessary to know how to trill your Rs? By the way, I actually am the only one in my family that can't roll my Rs. I've been trying to since I was very young but I just can't!
Asked by glamourgirl40 - Wed Jan 30 23:09:13 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. No, it's not necessary. Some people are incapable of learning to trill or roll their Rs if they were not exposed to it at a young age, which you probably weren't. Most people will understand this and it won't hinder their understanding of what you're saying. It will just be part of your accent. Remember, there are many sounds in the English language that people have trouble with, notable "th". If somebody substitutes a d or a z sound for "th", native English speakers don't have trouble understanding them, but they do recognize an accent. Just remember to be patient with people learning to speak English as you hope others will be patient with you learning to speak another language. :)

Help with playing piano (trills and quick parts)?

A. I think that the second and third finger are the strongest fingers for trills. However, you should go by what fits best for the piece. From the pieces that I've played in Chopin, I know that you need big hands for the chords and the trills can be challenging. I would just keep practicing and try and make the fingers that you end up using for the trills stronger by doing exercises. You can get one of those guitar-hand strengthening devices, or you can just put the pad of that finger against the pad of your thumb (make a ring with the two fingers) and push. It strengthens your fingers. Good luck!
