Taught by renowned cellist
Eric Kim
In the famous cello excerpt from the first movement of Debussy’s La Mer, we learn about the swells and undulations— literally imitating the sea— that Debussy creates. This is difficult to do as cellists due to the various articulations printed, not to mention the key signature! Kim gives us the tools he uses to hone in on the proper intonation, articulation, and color that make this excerpt shine.
