Alisa's playing has made me totally rethink how I hold the bow. I'm now working with these new concepts, and it's really paying off. I'm able to sustain a bigger sound with less effort! THANK YOU!!

Thank you John! This is the reason why we keep working, so please keep sharing your experiences.

Thank you so much this will help me a lot with holding the bow better while I play the cello.

These are good questions, many of which I have myself. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think she just said “Yeah it’s hard to explain, I just fix it if it sounds off.” Definitely would explain the way she laughed at the question when it was brought up. My arm has a problem with tension, even outside of cello, but even when it feels like it’s totally limp, the tone still sounds bumpy.

Using your weight efficiently..there are many ways to do it...please elaborate on a few of those ways.

I like the emphasis on arm weight. Unfortuneatly little else is covered. Obviously a great player, and friendly interview. Little use for a new player, and more evidence that classical teaching is a wild west show.

I've yet to experience the dead arm feel. So long as my arm is under neurological and muscular control, I do not know how that is accomplished.
