Mathilde performs VAS - Y!
Here comes a wonderful live performance of cellist and singer Mathilde Vendramin. She studied jazz in my class in Berlin, Germany. Enjoy!
VAS-Y!
Figée dans mon coin noir
La lueur du tunnel ne vend plus d’espoir
Elle m’apeure et glisse sur mon visage
Entre visqueuse et lente dans mes escarres
Seule, jamais deux, jamais toi
Un effroi qui fait froid dans le
Docile, glacée, s’égare
mais en dedans
L’ éruption toujours imminente,
Sans bien savoir quand
Fourmille et macère
Elle se fourre et me lacère
Se fout de moi et de mes rêves
Me respire, m’engloutit sous terre
J'essaye de me…
J’essaye de m’échapper et
Me blesse et retombe
Dans ce sable mouvant
je me plante et succombe…
Comment que tu sais si tu nages vers la rive ?
Comment que tu sais si tu verras ce que tu vises ?
N’attends plus, vas-y maintenant, n’attends plus

play & practice: Scales & Fingerings
Переглядів 5 тис.3 роки тому
In this video I'm talking about a way to learn and practice all major scales in one little exercise. It will help a lot to orientate on your fingerboard and to improvise over chord progressions. You can copy this exercise to all music modes like dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, aolian and locrian. Enjoy practicing scales! Thanks for your support!

Fantastic
I have been followed this master Finally I saw this video ~~~ ❤❤❤❤
❤
Although I have a lot of experience with improv, I recently joined my first string quartet which is challenging my rusty sight reading skills, or, lack there of! This is so helpful!!! Herzlichen Dank!!!
Thank you! S
GREAT!! Thank you so much!
Meraviglia
beautiful!!!!!!💞💕💞💕💞

Come on! You are just fantastic 🎉 Thanks for sharing this with all of us✨
merci! 🙏
cooooollll, awesome man! thanks for sharing!! hugs!
thanks! 🙏
Really useful content! btw I changed your subscriber count from 999 to 1k lol
Love this pattern so much. It will really help my students how are learning to improvise. Do you, by chance, have a PDF resource where you include the fingering that you use?
Thank you, Mea! The fingerings will be slightly different belonging to the context of improvisation and the shape of your hand...
@@improvisation-for-strings Cool! So your recommendation is for people to experiment with different fingerings that work for them?
@@meathecreativecellist yes ;)
Great 👌👍💯
🙏
Amazing ❤❤!!! I will practice and show my students!! Vielen dank herr Braun!!!!
Vielen Dank!
❤❤❤❤❤
Bravo - beautiful & very inspiring video !!!
Merci, Manuel!
The way it was meant to be played.
you're a genius
awesome
thanks
Why did you tune A=442 Hz?
More or less the tuning in Europe is 443, in the US 440, I tune my instrument always to 442 ;)
Please ,how I can write for chop is there a sign for chop ?
Hi, there is no official sign for "the chop" I know so far. When you compose a piece for a cellist, ask him which notation he likes. In the video you see my favourite notation - very simple...
I really really like the way you set this up and with the exercises this way. I hope to see more future videos like this!! Very helpful, thank you sir~
thank you!
Very nicely done, w written-our solos
hello！teacher！I'm come from China. I want to study jazz cello with you！
Hi student! Great idea!
Lieber Herr Braun , vielen Dank für das interessante und inhaltlich reiche Video !
Merci!
Djent af
Liebe Rebecca, was für ein tolles Video!!
Ich danke dir sehr!! :)
The playing is amazing! The notation is questionable. 🧐
And your criticism is not constructive and unnecessary
Grazie Stephan! Very useful indeed!
So handy! This way students will not be scared of playing in different tonalities. Thanks, Stephan! I'm a big fan
yeah, thank you Karolyni
Rebecca und Stephan, was für eine wunderbare Arbeit. Stephan, sehr schön, dich wiederzusehen, es ist immerhin 3 Jahre her, dass wir uns das letzte Mal gesehen haben. Grüße aus Brasilien
Danke Joao, Grüße zurück!
Yeah !!! Bravo !!!
Endlich! Wunderbar! Die Schlüssel zum Eingangstor des Cello-Jazz, überreicht von einem großen Meister! Vielen Dank, jetzt können wir uns auf den Weg machen😉
Herzlichen Dank, lieber Manuel!

Klingt toll. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Gleich mal geteilt. Liebe Grüße
Very nice! I'm always looking out for videos just like this. Looks like fun
Hi Stephan! What strings do you use? Thomastic? What type? I also wonder what gear and pedals you use in your live performance. All the best!
Sensacional 👏👏👏
Beautilful! 😍🎶🕊🤗
Super cool! 👍👍 Die Kommunikation ist nirgends so schön zu beobachten wie im Jazz. 🎶✨
Oh vielen lieben Dank Nora! 🤗🤗
beautiful......lips
We saw you yesterday in Berlin Philharmonie! It was great!
Thanks so much!
Honestly, every cellist should be subscribed to this guy.
Thank you so much, please upload second part practice with the Minor scales.
