The Lonely Cello Podcast

A delightful romp down memory lane and extensive conversation about the nuts and bolts of learning to improvise on a stringed instrument.

What did we learn in music school? This episode is all about the stuff learned at music school that we use every time we sit down to play or teach. Includes: encouragement, advice, weirdness/silliness, and Cari doing magic tricks with her voice!

A quick peek into the legendary self-help text that spawned dozens of (lesser, in my opinion) alternative titles. I promise I will use a pop screen next time, apologies to anyone's eardrums that succumb to the repeated assault when I say the letter "p" in the first few minutes!

A casual conversation between colleagues about the label "professional musician" and whether it's important, and to whom. Part of an ongoing series, not at all definitive.

Today's episode is a quick Q & A. Among questions: how do you teach emoting and musicality? Are Starker trills worth it? What would you do over if you could?

In this episode, we talk all about how Kenny Werner's landmark text has applications for the practical musician. My guest is Dr. Benjamin Whitcomb. For more info about him, go to http://www.benjaminwhitcomb.com.

Just a quick hello.
