What can be done on the cello with no prior talent and a lot of practice? Practice Log 8/7 through 8/13. In Bach Cello Suite#1 Prelude. Asymp; 1 Comment. Today is my first day back after a week off. I had started a new job that required some travel, and chose not to take my cello with my that first week. For my scale today, which was 2 octave A major, my focus was on the first octave, trying to keep my place with my 1 so that I don’t lose my bearing by lifting my LH too far away. Last week we also picked...

What can be done on the cello with no prior talent and a lot of practice? Asymp; Comments Off on Lesson Update. Key points from most recent lesson (and also orchestra). Teacher said we were very productive, which of course, made me feel good. 1 Focus on right and and notice elevations – I am to do the seven string exercise where I am gradually going from C to A and back, with double stops in between, noting the elevation of my elbow. Enjoying my New Strings orchestra still. The music is not a huge ch...

What can be done on the cello with no prior talent and a lot of practice? Scales a flat major. Asymp; Leave a comment. Scales a flat major. I think the pieces have improved, but there is still work to be done. Lee op 70 no 11 (Schroeder #17). Tempo is getting better, but try getting more to the tip of the bow. Listen to the tone. Also, watch that D for intonation. I start off well, but tend to lose attention. Bach March in G. Join 1,111 other followers. A year of Inspired Failure. Cello Brained *NEW LINK!

What can be done on the cello with no prior talent and a lot of practice? Asymp; Leave a comment. Lee op 70 no 20. Got some new pieces today. Interesting that my own assessment of how I was doing was negative and my cello teacher’s was more positives. We both noticed the same things, but he gave the problems less weight. A-flat major scale (Klengel). Positives: Playing the A-flat major scale more confidently and on tempo. Continue using the metronome. Using ear rather than hand and self-correcting. Start...

What can be done on the cello with no prior talent and a lot of practice? Asymp; 1 Comment. On both the Suzuki and the Schroeder, I need to keep my left hand in a shape and minimize finger movement. Chords need to be tuned. This is new to me, although I do understand what it means to tune a double stop, so perhaps I can generalize. Once the chords are tuned, this should help the triplets in the Suzuki (Witches’ Dance). Asymp; Leave a comment. Lee op 70 no 20. A-flat major scale (Klengel). 8220;point̶...
