Tonalization Suzuki Cello School 2 Free Lesson With Sarnia de la Maré Audiobook Class.
all right so we're going to start our marathon day of um suzuki book 2 cello school um we're going through each part of the whole book in in great detail now i'm going to just read out the the main points for study of volume 2. so the child well i don't teach many children and i know the wonderful internet is filled with adults desperate desperate to improve on their musicianship with little time and that's why i've chosen the suzuki method as my main

reference really because the suzuki method gets very good results very quickly um i do the abrsm as well of course um well not of course why why would that be um of course so anyway the child should or the person the person you my darlings should listen to the reference recordings every day at home to develop musical sensitivity okay now this is something i very much agree with rapid progress depends on listening now adults tend to have a broader musical knowledge and that's why on the podcast i've got lots of versions using drums and guitars and i [ __ ] them up a bit uh i think it's just a bit more exciting um so if you if you would like to hear some of the um more contemporary ways of listening to these tracks um you can do i've got all angles covered tonalization the production of a beautiful note this is the hardest thing to achieve if you have missed bits from book one i would pre i'd actually prefer you to go back to and do all of book one every single um piece in it and then come back here but adults we you know we're desperate shall we because we're running out of time and we or we don't have enough time etc etc so sometimes we like to miss steps and it's foolhardy however if you've done that i'm going to work you really really hard for book two um the way to get a beautiful sound is to be in tune if you can play a beautiful sound on your open note you can play a beautiful sound when you've got your finger down so practice the beautiful sounds

on the open string and the best way to do the the first the first way is to keep that bow perpendicular to the string if it's making an x shape it does that and an x shape up the other way it does that if it's straight

just glorious just glorious the difference is phenomenal you'll need a mirror always use a mirror mirror the mirror is really the secret to good tone but how bizarre is that who would have thought that that would be the case it's true it's just true that's um seeing yourself make a straight bow somehow implants in you after you've watched yourself a few times and it's much easier to do it live let me tell you than to record yourself and look back at it you know who needs that drama just put a mirror in front of you where you practice okay once you've done the mirror um keep it there all the time and it it does two things the mirror the mirror helps you be distracted by looking at a person in front of you which means you you're going to find it much better to play in front of people but the mirror also tells you it to look somewhere else rather than at your hands really good tip there and it also tells you if you're both straight and how you look if you're you can tell if you're hunched if you're both skew um you know if you're flitting around and uh you know not concentrating the mirror will tell you you know it's a very interesting thing it's it's like a sort of instant analysis okay i think the um the mirror idea is something that if if i had control over my students i would demand that they do it in front of a mirror right the position attitudes etude is a fancy way of saying what's french isn't it i think uh of saying studies should be practiced well not well before well before each lesson and we're going to be doing that we're going what you'll have to do is you'll have to go backwards and forwards and have a little listen to all my broadcasts um i also recommend that you always...
