How To Play The Swan by Saint-Saens (Bow Control, Continuous Vibrato, & Shifting Tips)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Today is a cello tutorial on how to play The Swan or Le cygne from The Carnival of the Animals by Saint Saens. I am giving some detailed tips and tricks so that you can have a smooth sound with the right type of vibrato, seamless shifts so that it sound continuous, and also exercises so that you have perfect bow control. The idea is that it sounds like the swan is gliding peacefully and smoothly on a lake.

I finally know why I couldn’t play the violin way back in school; I wasn’t breathing because I wanted to concentrate so much. You are a good teacher.
Beautiful. The Swan is the song I want to play for my grandchildren, who are now old enough to appreciate it. Plus, our last name is Swan. As an older adult returning to cello and lessons, the vibrato and dynamics are still a challenge. Your lesson is so helpful, as are all your tutorials. Thank you.
good luck! I think that's beautiful. I started cello in january and my dad just started viola. vibrato is the trickiest part for me too.
Cello ‘yoga’ breathing! 🤗 I find myself holding my breath A LOT! 😕 And My ‘cello face’ ends up being a cross between ‘grumpy cat’ and and absolutely terrified! 😝 Very instructive video. Thx!
LOL cello yoga breathing!! I LOVE IT! I might have to copy that idea! Hahaha
I'm no cellist but watching you teach cello makes me go back to music school and change instrument. We composers should watch more videos like yours.
true i start to follow Wendy in december 2020 one month after i baught my cello
This whole song is about the phrasing!!! I am swaying with you as you are teaching!
It's nice to see how you do the fingerings! I lost the music I learned this from when I was a teenager, and recently started playing it again because my pianist brother and I wanted to play something together for fun.
Your expression is helping me a lot.
The Swan is such a beautiful expressive cello piece of music! Your approach is so helpful!It is is so so challenging! Like a ballerina doing bourses. Thank you for your inspiration and help to play this beautiful piece!
I liked the 180,000 cello best!The C string was a rich soft tone and the rest so full in tone!
You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you Wendy! ❤
Thank you so much for your video! I have been working on this piece for ages!
The suspend feeling, makes perfect sense, thank you for posting. :)
Oh! Big thumbs up! this is great in terms of breaking it down. thanks for your time and patience. That helped a lot to this old newbie.
Thank you for the long bow ,use of bow space!instruction!
Thank you very much!!! For some reason, my teacher doesnt want to tecah me "the swan" .... He says I am not ready... But I am 53 and I want to play it... Even if I dont do it perfect ( I need to)... Your kiss at the end of the video got right to my lips! Took me to the moon!!! :)
Well if you want to play it, you should! See my pinned comment if you are interested in furthering your skills as a cellist
thank you for your piece of advice ❤ I'm studying this piece and I want a better sound 🥺❤
You can do it! 💪🏼
Actually your sieries of videos are awesome!
thank you dear Wendy 🤗
Thank you for writing
Great to watch and listen to, as always.
Breathing is good. I try to remember to breathe when I'm practicing; it's amazing how your body automatically forfeits breathing when concentrating on learning the cello....WHY!? 😩😉
This was great! Thank you!
Thanks for watching. 😌
Thank you. This is very helpful :)
So happy to hear that
What a wonderful lesson! I learned so.much from.you. Thank you for sharing your talent! I would like to know what type of instrument you are playing?
Yeah ! She's incredible.
It's called a Cello, short for Violoncello.
Just kidding, I'm sure you're asking about specifics like the maker or country of origin. 😉
Great teacher! Thank you for this
Thanks!
Hi darling wendy. I love your motivational videos towards learning the masterpiece instrument. I have request,😊😊 could you please record a video, teaching "game of thrones " techniques and challenges?
It's really stunning and accompanying your talent would be more. Thanks 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Are you a cellist? Hahah that's a good idea. I will definitely consider it!

Hello nice art thanks. Saludos
My notes the forth position starts on a D string. Why does yours starts on A?
1:11 the anxious swan and the lethargic swan
Where did you get the sheet music from? I asked my teacher if he could print this sheet music out for me and he says he still hasn't found a version for cello yet :( Does the one you got cost money, although i want a free version so he doesn't have to pay.
Just search it in google
You say portento, I say portato, you say tomato, I say tomato 😂
9:54 I just can't get a clean note on it, and I'm not sure how to fix it, do you have any tips on improving it?
I will by a new cello BC my last broke my high is 1'65 what should I get 3/4 or 4/4
it depends on your body type
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍
Wait hold up… I’M THE FIRST ONE TO COMMENT IN A YEAR?!?!
You could have got the mirror out of the back like literally i see the camera lol
that first major chord change gets me :/
Yes indeed Richard

You are a wonderful teacher Wendy! Thank you
