Free Mini Open String Workouts for Cello, Part Three

​Free Exercises to Celebrate Release of the New Book!

We are excited to release Open String Bow Workouts for Cello, Book Three! 
Focusing on bow control, this book has exercises that help your brain tell your right hand exactly what to do to make the sound you want. 
Open String Bow Workouts for Cello, Book Three

Sample Page from the Book

In this sample page from the book, your right arm is trained to play at the tip of the bow. Most of the time, we tend to be "frog-focused" and only rarely travel to the tip.

However, it's important to be comfortable playing everywhere on the bow and working on an exercise that is "tip-focused" can help you feel more comfortable there.​
Sample page from Open String Bow Workouts for Cello Book Three
Some of my other favorite parts in the book work on bow starts and bow landings. When I was a student, nobody worked with me on smooth starts and building enough bow control to land on the string cleanly. Instead, my teachers simply told me to "work on tone."

Needless to say, it wasn't until I came across the great Simon Fischer book "Basics" as an adult that I realized that all of the motions that give us good bow control can be taught. I'm exceedingly grateful for his contribution to string study!

A series of books on better bowing

​When I edited the first book of Open String Bow Workouts, I was excited to hear a difference in my tone and feel a difference in my handling of the bow. Your comments and support for the books have been much appreciated and have given me inspiration to continue to write more bow training exercises for open strings. This is the third book in the series (so far!)

    Cassia Harvey can't ever find or play enough exercises. She searches for rare and out-of-print studies and etudes in her free time. If you know of any, please let her know. Seriously; it's an obsession.

    Myanna Harvey's teacher assigned her piles of exercises when she was growing up but whenever her mother stopped listening, Myanna would quickly break away from the Sevcik to play a bit of Brahms or Beethoven she had heard on the radio. Now she practices with exercises and assigns them to students but her greatest passion is playing chamber music.
