Scary
Movie
I videotaped my self playing for the first time a few days ago.
Honestly, the visual didn't do much for me, but it was very helpful
to *hear* myself play. I played the same thing the next much more in
tune. So it helped.
More specifically, I was playing the 1st
ste. prelude. I was playing the fourth position scale stuff before
the chords out of tune. However, I was playing the chords in fourth
position *in* tune. Ahh . . . my mind is truly a weird little thing.

Musician record
thyself!
Good for you, Bridge!
I think you can use your video tape as
an instructional tool. Compare how your arms and hand move and are
positioned with what you are being taught or with other great
cellists caught on video.
Also observe your coordination and
evaluate your fingerings and bowings.
It's a scary thing to
do but the only way you can truly see what you look like when you
play!

Re: Musician
record thyself!
Thanks for the enouragement.
I'm sure that eventually I will
be able to "see" things in my playing. But for now, just the sound
is enough. However, it is not much more difficult to set up the
camcorder than a tape recorder. (I used to use my son's Sesame
Street tape player!)
I have one of the DuPre videos. I
watched not only her, but William Pleeth as well.
Any
suggestions for other tapes?
