Cello Lessons: Intro to Improvisation

In this video we discuss improvisation concepts on cello, and specifically a system to start relating things you know how to play with things you can hear. Improvisation can be thought of as spontaneous composition, and so you’re making new music on the spot.

This can be scary for some, without the “safety net” of written music; but it can also be thrilling, because you’re more in the moment and more creative with your improvised performance.

If you’ve ever heard cello, it’s likely you’ve already fallen in love. I know so many people who tell me it’s their favorite instrument. And you might have gotten to the point of asking: can I just learn how to play this marvelous instrument?

As someone who’s gone all the way through the journey of taking lessons, practicing many hours, and eventually being able to make cello my living, I know as well as anyone how challenging this endeavor can be.

And if you’ve ever tried on your own, you may have run into roadblocks yourself. Well here on this channel, we’re hoping to demystify the whole process of cello piece by piece, and hopefully get you to where you want to get with it.

Our hope is that with these videos, you're going to be able to overcome the obstacles facing beginner cellists. We want you to be able to get into this as economically as possible, and as on your own as possible - at least to start. Thanks for watching! Stay subscribed for more cello lessons.
