This may seem to be question of individuality of a performer, but how does one really put emotion into a piece?
My music teacher tells me i need to put emotion into my playing, that i play like a scientist, never makes a mistake, always technical but no real emotion. My question is, how do i put emotion into music? My teacher describes it as the extra "Haa" of the piece, but i can't seem to figure out how to really "feel" the music. Technically, i excel in my pieces, but she says i need to work on the interpretation and emotion. By the way, I play the violin (if this helps to answer.) To any violinists or any other performers: 1) Any recommendations? 2) Would using expressive intonation help in performances? Many Thanks! |

When I was 14 I was doing grade 8, and my teacher told me that I wouldn't be able to put emotion into my playing until I'd had my heart broken!!!!!! |
