“Crispy Footsteps” -an improvisational composition by me! This was played with my grandfather, Bruce Lindemann on guitar. The piece is inspired by the crunchy sound that the leaves make when you step on them 🍁

I am currently in Connecticut, the state I grew up. Tomorrow I head up to Boston, but I wanted to record something that reflected the beauty of the colorful trees!

Part three of our series on left hand development for the cello! Technique refers to the way that our body moves with the instrument to create sound. Good, relaxed technique is important to avoid injury, efficiency, and to create a beautiful sound.

Today, cellist and educator Susan Lindemann (@susan.c.l) explains an exercise that supports relaxed left technique. Susan Lindemann specializes in helping beginner cellists develop strong fundamentals that support long-term growth.

Songwriting is a skill set that you can develop, and a mentor can help you realize your musical ideas into something real. Our program helps developing artists workshop their ideas, and build the skills needed to produce their own music long term. Today, @susan.c.l shares our new songwriting program, offered by the Monkey Praxis Composition and Production studio.

Technique is how we move with our instrument to create good sound! It’s important to be relaxed when we play- relaxed movements allow better sound and help players avoid physical injury. Since our studio is fully online, we need a creative approach to help our students build healthy technique from day 1! Today, @susan.c.l explains one approach for complete beginners: pushing down the string of the cello entirely without the thumb. This approach ensures that students have a supported setup, and that their left hand isn’t accidentally “holding up” the cello (this creates tension!)

If you want to learn the cello, visit our Monkey Praxis studio website! We offer free consultations to make sure that you are matched with an educator who best fits YOUR needs. Our approach is specialized to the digital format to help students build strong technique from day one. We work with both adults and younger students!

Today, @susan.c.l shares the pros and cons of learning with or without tapes. Cello tapes are pieces of colorful tape placed on the fingerboard to mark where the notes are! This is a helpful resource for beginners to find where to place their fingers! On the other hand, students who learn without tapes have to rely on their ears to find and tune notes. This is an important skill to build long term, so practicing this from day one is an excellent way to build aural skills fast!

Both methods have their pros and cons- but which method worked best for you?
