The Art of Listening by Anthony Arnone Pdf

In The Art of Listening, Anthony Arnone interviews 13 of the top cello teachers of our time, sharing valuable insights about performing, teaching, music, and life. While almost every other aspect of twenty-first-century life has been changed by technological advancements, the art of playing and teaching the cello has largely remained the same. Our instruments are still made exactly the same way and much of what we learn is passed on by demonstration and word of mouth from generation to generation. We are as much historians of music as we are teachers of the instrument. The teaching lineage in the classical music world has formed a family tree of sorts with a select number of iconic names at the top of the tree, such as Pablo Casals, Gregor Piatigorsky, and Leonard Rose. A large percentage of professional cellists working today studied with these giants of the cello world, or with their students. In addition to discussing the impact of these masters and their personal experience as their students, the renowned cellists interviewed in this book touch on a variety of topics from teaching philosophies to how technology has changed classical music.

CelloMind by Hans Jørgen Jensen,Minna Rose Chung Pdf

CelloMind is a two-part pedagogical method book that focuses on intonation and left-hand cello technique. The coauthors of the book are Hans Jørgen Jensen, Professor of cello at the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University and Minna Rose Chung, Associate Professor of Cello at the Desautels Faculty of Music at the University of Manitoba. Part I: Intonation. The mystery of intonation is revealed by defining and explaining the scientific principles that govern it. To know and understand how to combine the three primary intonation systems has never before been expounded in a methodology publication--and for good reason. Playing with exquisite intonation has mostly been reserved for those who possess a strong intuitive sense; however, CelloMind breaks down this taboo using a systematic approach with a highly attuned manner. The three systems of intonation that string players most commonly use today--equal temperament, just intonation, and Pythagorean tuning--are each explored and explained in great detail. All chapters in the book include many practical samples and listening exercises that bridge the gap between the theory and its application. The chapters on intonation conclude with practical examples from the following repertoire: "Intonation Performance Practice in the Bach Solo Cello Suites" and "Intonation Performance Practice with Piano." Part II: Left-Hand Technique. The left-hand technique chapters in this section complement the study of intonation by providing a solid foundation of skills for essential cello playing. The topics and exercises have been selected to cover a wide range of technical skills that include playing with a light left-hand touch, speed, coordination, balanced vibrato, agility, finger independence, and efficient shifting. Original exercises developed for students over many years have also been incorporated into these chapters, as well as studies from Julius Klengel, Bernhard Cossmann, Louis R. Feuillard, Jean-Louis Duport, Yakov Rosenthal, and Fritz Albert Christian Rudinger.

Cello Playing for Music Lovers by Vera Mattlin Jiji Pdf

"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.
