I wished someone told me this when I started to play the cello. In this cello lesson, legendary cellist Paul Tortelier discusses how to use scales to play better cello. This is one of the best cello lessons I've ever seen in my life. It blew my mind, and it will blow your mind!

I once visited M. Tortelier for a lesson. He began by warming up with his usual routine-all twelve major scales and twelve minor scales, which took him about five minutes to get through-then spoke about how he conceptually approached the cello’s fingerboard as though it were a piano keyboard turned on its end. He kept all five of his fingers much straighter than most cellists do.

Thanks, Ilia. Everybody in my part of the country needs to see it. Their philosophy is that music is to make noise at sporting events and that's the way it's taught in school. Gone are the days of morally uplifting, transcendent classical music.

So true! As John Lennox said, "The problem with people trying to be stupider than they are is that quite often they succeed." Apply this principle to music at sporting events and what do you get? π°|§€! Congratulations to the sporting event band, you've succeeded.😒🔊😭

@jorgerivas1424 yep! in fact it goes much further when you consider hat composers in classical music wrote using the occult and esoteric 3:6:9 ratio's into the music. this is why A= 432 is better than=440 because 4+3+2 = 9 each ratio corresponds to a healing frequency. never use 440 or 415 tuning. research the meanings behind 3:6:9 ratio's and how those cycles were used in music. Start with Tesla, he understood this with his 3:6:9 ratios in his work. It will blow your mind.

As an organist player in my youth, I never worked with scales. Now I’m an adult cello learner and I can understand now the point of it, it is particularly useful with this kind of instrument. I like working on rightness, sound, tone, bow control with scales. And the way Tortelier links it to composers and love is really beautiful and so true. Such a charismatic person he was.❤

This is gold. 🌟✨ I started the cello about 1.5 year ago and my then-teacher never put any kind of attention on scales. Only recently I started to work diligently on scales... This alone has improved so much my intonation, bowing, articulation and musicality ❤ I wish I heard this profound teaching earlier 🙌🎶

You are welcome! Interesting philosophy, right?

I love that... what a teacher, that's one of the reasons I decided to learn the cello is because it is a micro tonal instrument and it's possible to play any cultures scale tunings on it, the only problem is, any teacher I have ends up always trying to correct me so that I play western pitch for scales or when I explore it in compositions, it's hard to make a western trained ear hear it differently, I love the way he expressed that and I wish more musicians and teachers brought that in to western music teaching, great work on putting this video together and trying to spread this message 👍

Good Morning MAESTRO, I'd like to know your opinion about the different tuning at 432 or 440 Hz. Thank You

@josephhapp9 10 ай бұрын

Tuning of scales is different from setting of the Pitch for Concert A.

I think...when you read you being with ABC, when you sing you begin with Doe Rey Me. Sorry, I couldn't resist.😏🤷🏻‍♀️😂 The point being, foundations are meant to be built upon, if you have a good and strong foundation, then your building will be good and strong as well, provided that you have embraced the necessity of the discipline that is required in setting the good foundation and then carry it throughout the entire build. This was amazing. I'm going to commit to more time and care to my scales.♥️

Yes but I think you missed some of the importance with the scales ,it’s not just building on a good foundation , he left many clues of how scales have variety from the root of country’s that the music comes from you may hear using scales such as India as you could hear very clearly the difference the way scales are used in music , I love that scales are the food of music and music is the food of love , so true however so many who play music today do not think like this wise man who has spoken and shared beautiful wisdom with scales and given real logic thinking opening our minds on importance of scales , I loved it.

@ericoschmitt 10 ай бұрын

I disagree with his logic, but I loved the idea of one day simply play different notes in a moment like that, with an orchestra, without having done it during the rehearsal. Just to see the reactions.
