Book excerpt: "Cello Playing for Music Lovers" provides beginner and intermediate adult cellists with an authoritative, step-by-step guide to learning how to read and play music on the cello. It assumes no prior musical knowledge, progressing slowly and clearly from choosing a cello to providing beautiful yet simple melodies that encourage playing by ear while learning to read music. 131 audio tracks, free to download, demonstrate virtually all of the musical examples, principles and songs, and are integrated throughout the book, which also includes illustrative photos and fingerboard maps of hand positions. ~Written in five parts, early sections explain how to read music (notes, rhythms) as well as fingerings, bowings, scales, keys and chords, while later sections teach higher hand positions, music theory and structure, and improvisation techniques. Exercises drawn from Folk, Pop, Jazz, Showtunes and Classical music genres keep it stimulating and entertaining. ~There is great pleasure to be had in just learning the instrument and bringing forth beautiful sounds. There is true joy to be had in sharing those skills by playing with others. A new "Playing With Others" section in the second edition expands on delivering effective preparation. Included are fun and easy-to-medium piano/cello duet arrangements of ten classics from the Great American Songbook, with full scores and parts, that help build comfort and confidence before moving on to guidance about playing with larger ensembles, classical or contemporary. ~Working with a good teacher can certainly make the complex process easier, but not everyone has access to, or can afford, private lessons. Written out here are the fundamentals from a learner's perspective, making reviewing easier for both the self-paced self-learner and those taking lessons. Checked for accuracy by a Julliard DMA but written by a retired professor and avid amateur cellist, the warm, first-person tone makes a potentially daunting process accessible to all.

Download or read book Cello Practice, Cello Performance written by Miranda Wilson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to perform expressively on the cello? In Cello Practice, Cello Performance, professor Miranda Wilson teaches that effectiveness on the concert stage or in an audition reflects the intensity, efficiency, and organization of your practice. Far from being a mysterious gift randomly bestowed on a lucky few, successful cello performance is, in fact, a learnable skill that any player can master. Most other instructional works for cellists address techniques for each hand individually, as if their movements were independent. In Cello Practice, Cello Performance, Wilson demonstrates that the movements of the hands are vitally interdependent, supporting and empowering one another in any technical action. Original exercises in the fundamentals of cello playing include cross-lateral exercises, mindful breathing, and one of the most detailed discussions of intonation in the cello literature. Wilson translates this practice-room success to the concert hall through chapters on performance-focused practice, performance anxiety, and common interpretive challenges of cello playing. This book is a resource for all advanced cellists—college-bound high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, educators, and professional performers—and teaches them how to be their own best teachers.
