Accent #patternpractice is one of the most effective #practicestrategies to build ease, clarity, and memory strength in #fastplaying pieces. Here are just a few ways I practice #preludio from #partita no 3 in #emajor #bwv1006 by #jsbach (mm 29-42) 6 videos: 1) Beginner - accent each main beat ~swipe left~ 2) Advanced - accent once per beat but not the main beat. For this example I accent the last note of each beat. ~swipe left~ 3) Expert - Accent every third note - this effectively changes the meter from 3/4 to 12/8. Accent patterns which change the meter take some getting used to. ~swipe left~ 4) Insane! - 5 note accent groups! The accent converges in the natural meter every 5 measures! ~swipe left~ 5) Ultimate - Accent every 7th note! The accent pattern converges with the meter every measures! ~swipe left~ 6) Performance version #sonatasandpartitas #bachpartita #bachviolin #solobach #johannsebastianbach #violinmusic #violinsolo #violinteacher #violinlesson #violinpractice #practiceroom #creativepractice #violinistsofinstagram #practicepracticepractice #365daysofpractice #lingling40hrs (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWbBq6guPn/?utm_medium=tumblr

And we are here for another day with #inktober2019 and the prompt entry for today. Legend. (Day 15, two weeks are behind me already. Whoop! #inktobercelebration) For today’s prompt I struggled with what to do. Draw a legendary person, a legend, something to do with a legend. The first idea that came into mind was a witch trying to take the ‘legendary’ sword out of the stone. But somehow that just didn’t feel right. And then I stuck with sword. Why not go all the way back to the beginning of the sword, the legend where the very sword I had tried to draw before came from? From a Lake. More specifically, the legend of the Lady of the Lake who gave the sword to the King. Boom. I knew what I wanted to draw. I did a lot of experimenting in this piece, perhaps not the best of ideas but I still like the result. My idea was that the water is forming into her dress as she rises from it, and while I didn’t want to add color too much, I saw no other way in shading the water so gave in to the siren lure of my Copic Markers who were missing me. Then To at least give the background some depth I went with black and contrasting white tree shapes. All in All, I love this piece. I really do, perhaps one of my favorites in this inktober series. #inktober2019 #inktober2019promptlegend #promptlegend #inktober2019legend #legend #excalibur #ladyofthelake #lake #copicmarkers #traditionalart #catiworks #alcoholmarkers #sketch #drawing #kingarthur #water #waterpattern #patternpractice #opaquewhite #serene https://www.instagram.com/p/B3oeIwMBL4B/?igshid=1dl3gyhmwcgre

How to Stay Calm before Exams?

Getting ready for the big exam, Is your mind in a great state? You've studied hard and done your best. By now you've probably completed most of your mock tests—if not all of them. But the one thing you don't want to do is get too anxious or worried before the exam. This can lead to panic during the test and a whole host of negative emotions. You don't want your performance to fall short of what you expected. So stay confident and calm throughout these next few days leading up to the exam in order to feel more focused and relaxed.

Making it to the last days of school is always a relief, but with exams just around the corner, you may be feeling extra stressed while trying to prepare. So what can you do to not let the stress get to you and be calm during your exams? As someone who has been there and done that, here are some tips that can help!

10 tips to stay calm before exams:

Be Prepared In Advance

This includes starting to study for the exam as soon as possible until you are confident with the subject. Don't leave it till the last minute. If you're not sure how to study, get guidance from a private or home tutor. Search "Best Home Tutors Near Me" in Google and get yourself enrolled in a home tuition class. Being well-prepared will increase your self-confidence, lowering your exam anxiety.

Understand the exam pattern

Practice sample papers and mock tests on a regular basis, and you will become more familiar with the exam pattern and questions asked during the exam. But if you are having difficulty studying and have a question, Deepanshi Classes - Best Tuition Tutors In Munirka, Delhi are here to help you.

Cut-out Negative Thoughts

Replace fearful or negative thoughts such as "I'm not good enough," "I didn't study hard enough," or "I can't do this" with optimistic ones such as "I know the content," "I studied hard," and "I can do this". If you do this, you will be able to reduce your stress levels when taking an exam.

Get Enough Sleep

Sleep is not only important for academic performance, but also for good health. Lack of sleep is associated with a range of side effects, including depression, decreased cheerfulness, memory issues, reduced logical thinking, anxiety, and anxiousness. A tired student performs poorly and is more anxious. According to sources, students should attempt to obtain at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night to stay healthy and calm their anxieties.

Take a deep breath when feeling anxious

Anxiety and nervousness affect our breathing patterns when we are stressed. It seems that this strengthens feelings of anxiety and nervousness over time. Nervousness during exams can also result in these feelings. Managing stress involves keeping your breathing in check. A deep, slow breath can calm nerves and prevent panic attacks, according to studies.

Stop worrying about what others are doing

When you start comparing your exam preparation to others', you will be feeling anxious, anxious, and anxious. You are on your own unique path, and as long as you keep moving forward in the direction of your dreams and goals, you're going to get there one day!

Turn your weakness into your strength

Prepare well in advance for the exams so you know what your weaknesses and strengths are and you can prioritize your time in accordance with which topics require more and which require less time for revision. By doing this, you can save a lot of time and invest wisely in important questions, which in turn will result in a higher level of productivity.

Take care of your health

When students are worried, some students overeat, while others don't eat at all. Some only eat snacks and junk foods.  Eating a healthy meal will help you feel physically at ease while also keeping you active and engaged during the exam.

Be in the company of positive people

It's important to spend time with individuals who aren't judgmental or negative; their remarks shouldn't upset you. Do not be influenced by other people. You are who you are, and that is all that matters.

Don't let distractions distract you

If you are tempted to use social media (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc), please avoid doing so. You may not realize it, but these platforms will take up a lot of your time and productivity. Spending hours on a mobile screen can lead to tiredness and this can affect your exam preparation.

These tips are relatively simple and will help you stay calm before exams. They work well with most people, so they'll work well with you too. Give them a try, see if they work for you, and if you need any help regarding your exam preparation you can reach out to Deepanshi Classes - the best Home Tuition For Class 12 In Munirka, Delhi.
