​

In this intensive advanced cello program, I’ll show you simple and powerful ways to:

 

• Hold the cello in a natural and ergonomic way and to hold the bow in a powerful new way that gives subtlety, flexibility, power and endurance

​

• Master balance and the use of free weight in both arms by animating the back and upper body for effortless bowing and left arm motion

​

• Produce vibrato with ease and use it actively to shift, activate and balance finger changes bringing incredible flexibility to the left hand

​

• Develop variety in musical expression through flexible tempo, multi-layer dynamics through bow placement, and vibrato widths and speed to expand sound color and intensity

​

• Follow your own true musical instincts by animating your playing through expressive motion tapping into you own autonomous accuracy and intuition

​

• Help you understand how to create logical and organized fingerings to have security and cello “GPS” while you learn, memorize and perform your repertoire

​

• Tackle that new repertoire piece you want to learn and to demystify any cello problem with you!
