Open String Bow Workouts for Cello, Book Three

Reach a new level in your cello practice with Open String Bow Workouts for Cello Book Three!

Open-string studies on the cello can help you focus on your bow and how it interacts with the string. Good bow technique is essential for creating beautiful sound.

This third book of new and exciting bowing workouts for the cello gives you 99 exercises to train your bow on open strings. Before you begin the rest of your practice, you can jumpstart your sound with one of these bow warm-up exercises.

The main focus of Book Three is bow control. The exercises in this book help you develop bow control using long sustained bow work, string crossing, staccato, and spiccato, as well as special exercises for bow starts and bow landings.

Since there are no left hand notes, you can focus entirely on improving the dexterity and control of the right (bow) hand.

This book gives cellists a tremendous resource for developing an all-around bow technique that meets the demands of the cello repertoire, as well as a path to creating better tone.

Note: The main focus of this book is on bow control. Smooth, connected bows and string crossing are covered in Book One and articulated bowings are the focus of Book Two.
