Mastering Feuillard Daily N°34 + Recording Challenge!

Included in Membership! One part/variation - Tips - Video - Challenges!

Course Summary

Master your bowing technique!

Enhance your skills in string crossings, whether slow or fast, slurs, various speeds, from frog to tip and everything in between.
Elevate your bowing proficiency and train your brain to adapt to different bowing styles for the same melody or fingering using Feuillard Daily Exercises, specifically number 34, along with accompanying practice tips and videos.  

This training is structured in two chapters:

1. In the chapter you can progress sequentially from 1 to 40, or pick the variation you want to practice.
Each variation is presented in a single PDF with articulation details, and practice tips precede each variation. After reviewing the written material, you can watch the accompanying video and play along with the metronome.  

2. The second chapter is an optimized learning approach, I grouped variations based on movements of the elbow, introducing biomechanics without delving into discussions about levers and forces. After each group (9 in total) you can take up on the recording challenge or move on to the next group.
Once you went through the 9 groups, you can play all the variations.

For all the cellists who enjoy a challenge, consider sharing a video of yourself playing each variation in the group or on your social media taking up on the Feuillard Hallenge #feuillard34rocks.
