Elgar

Salut d'Amour

Taught by renowned cellist 

Tina Guo

In this lesson, we learn about making a singing tone on the cello. Guo teaches us about creating big ranges of expression, and makes the important point that sometimes, even if we as players think we have conveyed a musical idea, it doesn't always come across to the audience, and therefore we need to make use of a larger dynamic range than we imagined. Guo also teaches us about creating a broad expressive palate with use of differing vibrati and bow shadings.
