Allegro Suzuki Book 1 Cello Free Audio Lesson Tale Teller Club Sarnia Music School.

uh let's play through the allegro and then we'll talk about um

what the new music notation means okay

now did you notice there's a real difference in the first half and the second part the third line i should say dolce that means sweetly so when i got to bar nine i had to really change my thinking and how i was going to um perform it and i think i think it worked i think i managed to do that did you notice as well that as i got to bar 12 i slowed down and got quieter and then i almost well i did i stopped well that funny mark that pause mark it looks like a an arch with a dot in it it's a bit like an eye that's a pause sign

and the rit means you slow down

bar 13 a tempo that means you go back to the original tempo okay so this is a piece of filled with contrasts now you have to uh to to get through the suzuki method you need to be using their recordings because i'm you know i'm a performer and i do my own thing i'm a composer so i'm not saying that i played that in exactly the correct way that the suzuki method would favor so please listen to the tapes i will put up a version later by um one of my robots probably cuddles or moma i think um well maybe all of them um and that'll be um also a version that i think you should listen to and i think you should play along to but really you need to be listening to the uh recommended let's turn that off and my battery is going to run out of that in a minute uh the recommended um recordings because then you can be sure that you're getting it as as they require for for the method um i put a lot of inflections in things and because i teach a lot of adults we tend to do we're a bit more experimental and but if you're one of my young students you you definitely should be listening to um the actual recordings um i like this piece i think the the hardest bit will be just getting that contrast i i think the notes are fairly simple and they're fairly straightforward and don't forget those big giant commas at the end of each line that means go back to your frog or a down bow okay i'd say stay in the um the center of gravity sort of area on your bow for this piece i think that's it i hope you enjoyed that was it just a little lesson wasn't it i'll pop the play-along tracks up later and hopefully that'll get you through because if i look over the page let me see what i've got here perpetual motion one of my favorites
