After watching part of the master class I realized that I too was usually looking at my fingers while I played. I didn't realize I was doing it so much. I don't remember any of my other teachers (Bernard Greenhouse) talking about this. So this morning I tried practicing and not looking and it was amazing how much it seemed to help. I plan on incorporating this with my own students as they progress.

First time seeing Alisa Weilerstein masterclass . She is a wonderful teacher and communicator .

Alisa comes across as a real inspirationalist , genuinely concerned for the cellist to achieve and understand how to really listen to the sound their making ,make adjustments and keep a sense of humour ! Thank you Ailsa , your loved for sure.

FML! 7:40 when she told the cellist to project to the back rows and he simply did it! What a difference. Am I impressed about her teaching or his learning? I don't know but it was great to see.

it is so wonderful to see these accomplished artists train the future generations, so humbling and beautiful

I Love that she’s not adding anything of her own but that she has full-grasp of the understanding of how to emote through your instrument to add character to the music whilst taking away from yourself; she doesn’t play her feelings she plays the musics feeling and grants the student the opportunity nof to see her interpretation but actually the piece itself!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

She is an excellent musician and teacher! Bravo

Fabulous to hear somebody who understands music so completely, technique in service to art.

a year ago I had the privilege to watch Alisa performing in Boston - she's superb! and this masterclass reveals a wonderful gift for inspiration & guidance she possesses as a teacher !! bravo!!!

She can’t help it . So tough. Great advices.

As an American, when I'm in the presence of Europeans, I tend to over enunciate my words and it ends up sounding like I have an accent. Alisa Weilerstein is doing the same, it's kinda funny, I'm glad I'm not the only American to do it.

So amazing. She is a master at teaching as well as playing.

Very nice :)

Weilerstein is a great artist and teacher. BRAVA!

Hard to believe she's out again at that time after she just had her daughter.

Whats the name of the other song?

How did first cellist get so far without being told not to look at fingerboard?

Can someone confirm if this is Michal Kaňka (ex-Pražák Quartet cellist) we see in the audience elegantly dressed, listening closely to Alisa Weilerstein's masterclass ?

That hostess' haircut, though.

I've always thought 'master' classes should be given by those old masters near end of their rich careers.

Nobody really know the exact sound of the music when it it was written , Its all subjective. These instruments are fretless there is bound to be slight intonation problems . I hear it at time with even the great soloists. Maybe they should bring back the "frets" the the Viol Dr gambas had.

Key to a Master of a master class: Allow the student to express, don't overwhelm, don't suppress, allow the student to express his/her interpretation, even if it defies the "master" teacher. Is that what you see here? hmmmmm

It is also a teacher, student situation . If a teacher see's something wrong they should inform the student . The 'not looking at the fingers' and keeping the head up, are two excellent pieces of advice .
