Taught by renowned cellist
Daniel Lelchuk
In this course, we learn principles of trills. We learn how to strengthen weak fingers so our trills can be even on all fingers. We also learn methods of practice so our hand does not get overly fatigued as we gain fluency.
<p>Introduction to Trills</p>
<p>In this lesson, we learn about finger spacing in the first position. We learn about half steps and whole steps, and the importance of producing a full, rich sound, using the entire bow. We also learn about bow division, and why purposeful bow division is so important for solving many technical issues on the cello.</p>
<p>Trill Exercises on Weak Fingers</p>
<p>The trill exercises aim to develop the weaker fingers of the left hand and work to make all the fingers even in what they can achieve when it comes to trills. We learn tips and tricks to relax the left hand yet produce fast, even trills between all fingers.</p>
