Taught by renowned cellist
tonebase Artists
Shifting is one of the great challenges of the cello due to the large nature of the fingerboard. In this course, we begin by learning about principles of shifting. We learn how to shift cleanly, ergonomically, and smoothly. We then use the seminal exercises of the great Louis Feulliard as we explore both his scalar shifting and his long-distance shifting exercises. We then look into how we can develop a variety of shifts, and finally, we learn about advanced shifting principles and high-level repertoire application.
