String crossings and double stops look like separate problems, but the arm is doing the same thing in both. See how hearing the opening of Bach's First Suite as a broken chord gives you one clear curve to follow: the same curve that carries you across all four strings.
In the course on double stops and chords, we learn about how to play more than one note at a time-- a task that can prove difficut for many cellists. Contrary to what some may be taught, we learn that right from the onset that students should play in double stops. We then explore double stops, harmony, and string crossings, chords, Bach, and balancing the voices, and finally, scales in double stops and repertoire application.
