About online cello course Position Pieces

Whenever I learn to change someone shifting, I always choose Rick Mooney's phenomenal book Position pieces. It has the necessary structure, the pieces easy to predict which helps a lot to find the correct note/sound, and he is the only one from the whole methodical spectrum who offers exercises that make your brain crack about what's on each string on each finger for note in that new position. That's the essence; you can't get around it. There are 7 chapters in which he deals with the first four positions, he counts in 'lower' and 'upper' positions, and there is one last chapter in which he goes through all the positions, combining all the learned ones. Find cello structure, find it here. With all the pieces you will find a short comment by me, cello teacher for 25 years now, that tells you what I often encounter during class, what you may pay attention to to succeed asquick as possible. Good luck!

Jakob Sakom part 1

In Sakom course 1 you will find pieces written in the first position, no extended position. They are composed by several classical composers, who all have written their own cello methods. Almost all pieces are for two cello’s.

Jakob Sakom part 2

In Sakom course 2 you will find the thoroughly set-up of the extended position up and down. This bundle is no substitute for a teacher, it does not learn you how to make the extended position. You need a teacher to see and maybe touch your hand and thumb personally. I do have good experience by helping one out online. You can also book a digital lesson with me, Scarlett Arts. Again the pieces are composed by several classical composers, who all have written their own cello methods. Almost all pieces are for two cello’s.

Jakob Sakom part 3

In Sakom course 3 the shifting starts. Sakom starts with the fourth position, then third and second, and fifth, and is combining them in the end. He offers beautiful pieces and almost all of these pieces are for two cello’s.

About Scarlett Arts

Scarlett Arts

I have been teaching the cello since 1995 and prefer teaching mainly adult cellists who started playing the cello later in life. I use many methods and books including those of Jakob Sakom and Rick Mooney. Because there is a need for them, I have had these three collections professionally filmed and edited for your convenience. You can play the videos slower or faster using the cogwheel at the bottom right of the screen. The pitch remains the same of course;-) . Would you like me to produce another bundle? Please let me know! Kind regards, Scarlett Arts
