What's a good way to teach yourself to shift on the cello quickly and or switch strings with great intonation?
I am currently having a little trouble shifting to fourth position and back when playing in eighth notes. Our orchestra is playing some music by Peer Gynt, and Cincopations.
Cincopations: http://www.alfred-music.com/player/AlfredOrchestra2010/33730/player.html?osCsid=b6068f4ece3ccf5ec0cab54979df1477
Five beats per measure. Ugh. Either way, I must know these things in order not to fall behind in my class. Please help and you will be highly rewarded. As in, chosen for Best Answer if your answer suits the question and is successful.
I also need to know how to quickly go from A harmonic then to E on the A string, and back to A harmonic in the form of... let say, triplet. (I'm actually doing that, so yea.) Please add that if you know.
The most important thing (as far as I'm concerned) in shifting positions is muscle memory. You may just have to repeat the motion again and again until you can feel where the notes are.
For practical purposes, let's assume you're shifting from C# in first position (3rd finger on A) to oh, say, G in fourth position (4th finger on A). First, make sure you know what a C# and a G sound like. It's important to know where you're starting and where you're going. Then, familiarize yourself with with the F# in fourth position on A. Start on your C# and, keeping your third finger pressed down, slide your hand up until you hit the F# that you remember. Then slide your hand back down until you hit your C# again. Repeat this sliding until you can tell where the F# is. At first, you may over- or under-shoot your target notes, but after a few (maybe more) repetitions, you will have an idea of how far it is from C# to F#. Once you feel like you are familiar with this distance, start adding your fourth finger after you reach your F#. Slowly, start changing to your fourth finger during the shift instead of upon arrival at F#. Then, once you are comfortable moving from C# to G, try to lessen your left hand's pressure on the string during the shift. As you speed up, it will be harder to press down during the shift, so it helps if you only press at the beginning and end notes.
Drill this shift for at least a few minutes every time you practice (if it works for you) because it needs to become natural for your hand to move to the right position. I warn: it will not sound good at all while you are doing this, but stick with it and it should help you in the long run. It certainly helped me.
As a last note, make sure to not slam your left hand into the body of your cello during the shift. This is a common tendency because it can sometimes help you find the right position. However, if it becomes a habit, it will make future trips to fifth position and beyond much more difficult.
