Sitting: Chair, Feet, Power at Tip

The idea of steering the cello from the feet. That's new to me.
THANKS MR KATZ!!

Great observations....

Very informative. Thank you!

Mr. Katz, I wish you'd been my teacher when I studied at NEC. I really appreciate your sharing of genuine knowledge of technical issues that so many cellists face. Wonderful videos !

Some of my cello colleagues tried to teach me how to move like that in my playing. I was never good at that.

Yes yes yes

Podríais subtitular este video al español??
Gracias!!🔝🎯

This was SO useful! Thank you!

At the end Mr. Katz asked the student to do it the ‘wrong way’. I asked Selma Gokcen in one of the 4 CelloBello videos she did in 2020, which was the correct way to shift the weight of the pelvis. I was surprised that she said it was to keep your weight in your left foot when playing at the tip where is Mr. Katz is teaching the opposite, Bob Jesselson’s way. I think it is easier and more useful (you’re giving yourself more ease especially on the A string) to do it the way Mr. Katz is teaching it, however the other way works too in that you can play with balance in both ways of moving.
