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.
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.
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!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
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!!!
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.
Mysterious Squirrel Actually I think I might know what you're talking about. I've had a couple European teachers. have a hard time learning from them because .My mind is focused on deciphering their accents
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 ?
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 .
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.
First time seeing Alisa Weilerstein masterclass . She is a wonderful teacher and communicator .

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