Popper High School of Cello Playing Etudes 1, 6

These etudes are essential for building core cello technique—bow control, arm movement, and shifting.

Goals:

•Develop technical precision and preparation.

•Understand bow-arm mechanics and string transitions.

A fundamental cornerstone for every cellist, to be watched and learned with great attention.
In these etudes, our teacher shows how to practice and master crucial elements like anticipation, preparation of the upcoming bow angle, arm elevation, large jumps from C to A string, and left-hand preparation to complement the bowing. No cellist can miss such a fundamental acknowledgment.
