Expressive slides on the cello
zhlédnutí 237Před 2 měsíci
I focus on big ascending slides on the cello. I describe the two main kinds of slides and how to practice them. I should mention I'm pretty sparing with vibrato in these demonstrations. I like to practice shifts without vibrato at first to really get them in tune. Look at my video of Humoresque czcams.com/video/tqk8VQObhcE/video.htmlfeature=shared to hear I how might play in a performance. Chec...

Berceuse by Schubert from Suzuki Cello School Book 3
zhlédnutí 287Před 4 měsíci
This is the Berceuse by Schubert which is the first piece in Suzuki cello book 3. I use more advanced 4th position fingerings on the repeat, just to show another option, especially to get more practice with 4th position and to avoid some open strings. I also do a fancy fingering for the harmonics at the end, which I explain in the video.
Fix Electric Shock Cello Vibrato
zhlédnutí 201Před 5 měsíci
Electric shock cello vibrato is what I call that tight, fast, vibrato many cello students end up with. If you have this kind of vibrato and want to replace it with a much more beautiful vibrato, I hope this video will help.
Cello vibrato common problems

I offer solutions to some of the most common problems I see when cello students are learning vibrato.
Learn Vibrato on the Cello
zhlédnutí 3,5KPřed 7 měsíci
These are the exercises and steps I take my own students through when they learn vibrato. This work starts at around the beginning of Suzuki book two. These are the basics that all my students work on but they are by no means every possible vibrato exercise.

Holy Cow! My teacher told me I may never learn this...that was a challenge! At least now I have a better idea of what it is and how it is different from spicato. Thank you.
Never say never! I hope the video helps you get there.
Just finishing up book 3 and looking at Breval's Sonata in C major and this is going to be helpful. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your lesson, and I thought it was just my arthritic hands 😊
Thanks😊
You sound so magical! Thank you for sharing 🍎👍
Thank you so much!
really nicely done
Thanks!
I would love to see a video about playing fast. It seems, that the connection between my left and right hand needs work.
That's a good topic. Are there specific pieces or passages that you are having trouble with?
@@cellodrew I do not have specific reasons yet, but I would like to include it in my scale work. I am an adult intermediate, and by mysteries ways I play in a skilled youth orchestra. I am allowed to jump over the hardest parts of the music, but I want to impress😊 In the coming year we are playing Nielsen’s Helios overture, Holst’s Mars and Jupiter and two coir works.
@@mettevunsjensen4094 I'm working on a video that should have some helpful ideas.
The slide .... do cool ..
Hello! Could you do a quick about “sotie”? Fast bowing needed in 2 movement of Elgar cello concerto? I will be very grateful 🙏🏻🌷
Thanks for your message. That's a great topic. I'll try to get a video up with suggestions for sautille bow stroke in the next week.
Really helpful, thank you.
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Very specific, well-defined and practical points. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing!
Thanks!
Thank you!
This is so helpful. As an older adult beginner, your teaching has really helped me slow down and try to get the beginning steps right. I’m only sorry I live so far from D.C. so that I could study with you.🎶
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! I've got many more topics to cover so watch out for new videos.
I’m guilty of the fast, clenched vibrato.
You are not alone! I hope the video is helpful.
Thank you so much for the video, it is immensely helpful❤
I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you !
Thank you
Thank you, very useful.
Excellent demonstration! Thank you!!
I should have mentioned that the long notes at the end are really accompanying the piano, which has the melody at this point.
That’s a lovely addition at the end. I enjoyed your thoughtful explanation about the alternative harmonic fingerings. I’m looking forward to practicing it-many thanks!
Thank you! I do something similar in my warmup. After checking tuning and loosening up. I like the lane concept. Kayson B. Refers this as the Forte Freeway. I repeat that to myself as a mantra. I also use a mirror and find the angle is distorted. I see in the mirror my bow looks angled but when I look down it’s straight. Mirror and camera angles can be deceptive.
Thanks for your comment! I like the "Forte Freeway." I hadn't heard that before. You are right about the deceptive angles. When I look in the mirror, I think more than the angle, I'm watching to make sure my bow is not drifting out of the lane unintentionally.
Brilliant video, thank you so much
Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you liked it!
Here is the link to my video about learning cello vibrato: czcams.com/video/PU54gj6QEgU/video.html
90 degrees is not necessary.
Personally I think it is, until you learn how to control it properly, then you can go with the sound and do little variations. But that’s essential for beginners. Very useful video 🙏🏻 thank you for recording it.
This was a helpful video! I’ve been practicing closer to the bridge to produce a “core” sound, a sound that is focused, clear, and has more overtones that allow the sound to project. I notice that it is incredibly hard to play shorter notes because my bow cannot activate the string in such a short amount of time. Is lane 5 playing more suited for long notes and do we tend to play faster notes further away from the bridge? I suppose we have to sacrifice the core sound to play the faster notes, then?
Thanks for a great question! You are absolutely right that playing closer to the bridge produces a more focussed tone. Of course, it's all relative to the dynamics, articulations, styles, timbre etc. As you play shorter notes, you do need to move farther from the bridge than with sustained notes. For the most part, I am only in lane five for melodic passages in louder dynamics and more often in the higher register. I rarely play as close to the bridge as in the video but, that practice makes it easier to get closer to the bridge when needed. Truly beautiful and refined playing comes with many hours of focussed experimentation. We always have to strive for more but go with what our ears tell us. It sounds like you are on the right track!
Thank you very much, the video really help to learn better the vibrato and more technics
Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you found it helpful!
Also check my Pre Vibrato video: czcams.com/video/-g9Ipo7m5G4/video.html The vibrato article I mentioned was by Alice Vierra and appeared in the American Suzuki Journal, February 1, 2017, ASJ 45.2
bravo!!!
Excellent! Thank you!
Very nice way to show bow angles😊
Huh? Are you kidding me? Your bow was CROOKED throughout the video! Best way to practice the bow is using mirror. Sorry to say youre not doing to well.
Thank you I found this a helpful exercise. Good detailed commentary
Thank you! This help alot
I hope you find this exercise useful. Check out this video of the great Canadian cellist, Zara Nelsova. I learned this exercise from her and in this amazing performance you can see she really practiced what she preached! czcams.com/video/RlJM3PsG12M/video.html

Thank you very much for your useful and very helpful videos. In your opinion, what are the best methods to learn cello and develop good foundations?
@@cellodrew Thank you very much for your reply, which is very useful and in part addresses my concern. I have being playing cello for four years. I started with a teacher who was following Dotzauer in addition to another old European method. I found those methods very rigrorous and good, although at times I felt they were little heavy on moral (they can be very tiring at. times). Due to me moving in a new city, I had to change teacher and the new teacher uses Suzuki combined with Mooney (Position Pieces). I found Suzuki very pleasant to play and I am learning a lot, but I fear that I am missing the rigour in building the foundations, which Dotzauer (I think) provided. I wonder whether I should complement Suzuki with some traditional technique repertoire...what would you think? Thank you very much again for your willingness to reply.
I don't even play the cello but if I were to pick it up I'd run straight to you channel. Your voice is very gentle and I like how you explain things. Honestly surprised you don't have more subs. Keep up the good work!!
Delightful! Thank you for another wonderful video.
Amazing!
😊😊😊😊😊
So gentle playing! Great video, thanks!
I love it !
I saw it clearly you just hold it with your 5 finger cause it only showed 4
This is Great!
pause videos on 44 secs... notice the other hand has 4 finger.. the 5th finger(first finger) is under the pencil.
ohh he told us that afterwards.. but i caught you.
Is this a joke...?
I know it seems stupid but it's not a joke, just a trick. Follow the instructions and see how easily you can fool someone with this!
May work with some people but I noticed the index was gone right in the beginning
