HOW TO SOUND LIKE A SOLOIST! Sound Tutorial ( SUBS ESPAÑOL) 

You're making some terrific videos offering great tips and insights. Great job, Pablo! If only more cellists would do the same, the cello world would be a much happier place. Gracias!

Could you make a video about entering competitions? Stuff like how to stand out from other players, how to deal with nerves, etc. Love your videos!

Can you do a session on intonation...how to perfect it? Yours always sounds so exquisite.

Great advice. I like to practice cello sometimes in an open garage or outside (when it's not 100 degrees). The sound is surprisingly strong & carries far. People can hear me all the way down the street & I see heads turning Playing dynamic concert pieces like the Chopin Nocturne or Haydn Concerto from memory also helps me with musical expression. I've only been accompanied by an orchestra twice in my life--once playing a pipe organ in Mexico City, another time on an alto clarinet & they were exhilarating experiences! I'm working on the cello.

I would love to see a detailed technical breakdown of your amazing vibrato. I'm curious about things like arm motion, finger flexibility, the arc of the hand, all that stuff.

This is exactly what I needed! I made a comment about a month ago and you literally answered every single one of my questions about this! Thanks for being so very generous with your knowledge :)

Absolutely spot on !

Thank you for making this video! As always your videos are very helpful as your explanations are clear and easy to understand. Thanks again and stay healthy!!!!!

Priority #1 SOUND 😍 love it! I’m a violist and still everything you say, I can apply and makes so much sense. Muuchas Gracias

Thank you again for your wonderful teaching. You help me practice with purpose and for that I am grateful!

perfect cellist and teacher . THANKS a lot

Magníficos consejos. Gracias Pablo.

Muchas gracias por tan buenos consejos!! En verdad es una fortuna que nos puedas hablar de todos esos temas de manera simple y desde tu experiencia

Muchas gracias! Ahora estamos todos en cuarentena a estudiar :)

Tus consejos me han ayudado mucho, ven a darme unas master class a México jaja sube mas videos para asi salir adelante en el violonchelo ya que no cuento con un maestro en especificó asi como tu, eres el mejor del mundo saludos

I love how you talked at around 8:20 about training the instrument. I play the bass, and have noticed this, too. It's interesting how just by playing differently your instrument can take on different sounds.

Gracias Pablo! Muy buenos consejos 🥰

Gracias por compartir Pablo, es de mucha ayuda lo que haces con estos videos,un gran abrazo.!!

Your positive attitude and generosity are making the cello world a better place. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.

Thank you for all these wonderful tutorials! So helpful.

Thank you so much for sharing your precious knowledge and time.

Extremely helpful! Thank you!!

Merci pour tous ces conseils. Thanks from Quebec .

Thank you for your generosity- always exciting to hear what you are thinking and doing behind to performance. A more in-depth discussion on building vibrato- maybe a part two of what you've already said in your first video on the subject. Thank You Pablo-

Thank you for this video!!! I need it

Excellent advice!

Muchas gracias Pablo de repente no tienes idea de cuanto me has ayudado , yo toco viola igual que Sara y la sigo a ella también y he aprendido mucho de los dos por ello gracias estoy realmente agradecido,te mando un abrazo y todas mis bendiciones desde Perú

Buenísimo video ❤️

Pablo, thanks for your sincere and musical advise, and generous sharing of your experience with us, lesser gods..

Muchísimas gracias! Soy chelista principiante y, aunque tus tíos me quedan aún grandes, me son muy interesantes e inspiradores. Realmente un contenido fantástico! Muchas gracias.

I was about to play the first time with an orchestra in may. It was a totally new experience for me to rehearse with an orchestra instead of a pianist. I had so much fun learning new stuff but sadly the concert is cancelled due to the coronavirus... Maybe you could make a video about playing with an orchestra? Totally love your interesting ideas! Greetings from Germany ;)

Thanks so much for your masterclass so many great tips

Gracias, Pablo👏👍

que bueno pablo,esto nos sirve a toda la cuerda gracias .

Grande Pablo!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hola Pablo. Soy de España, tengo 14 años y eres un gran referente para mi. Yo también estudio violonchelo todos los dias y me encanta tu forma de enseñar. Eres todo un crack!

Thank you for your videos😘💞

Thank you for this video!!!its so good and helpful!!!

good advices! great making of the video.

Great video, crack! Creo que uno de los mejores metodos para sacar sonido es escuchando bastante musica y a la vez interpetres, asimilar cada detalle de los matices empleados en la obra y tratar de imitarlo

Qué suerte encontrarte, tienes una capacidad increíble para transmitir conocimientos claves para entender cómo ser un buen músico. Felicitaciones y saludos desde Ecuador.

Keep making this tutorial content, i'll love to watch another video. It usefull for me

Gold dust...thank you Pablo.

Very helpful, timely, insightful and generous. Sincerely.

Hi Pablo! Thanks for your help!

Yes! A video about entering competitions and preparing?

Thanks! Gonna try this for my saint saens

Me encata el vídeo!! como saxofonista entender como os lo haceis las cuerdas para sacar buen sonido me es muy útil 🤗

These videos are fantastic, found about you via your Ray Chen off stage. I'm pretty late to the cello game, starting at 39yo, started learning it during lock down ... Love the instrument though.

Legato y fraseo porfiii

Danke!🎻

Good tips! My sound is small. I’m working on your suggestions. Gracias!

Great tips thanks ! Also : changing your strings from time to time can help ;-) Seriously, a lot more things goes into producing pro level sound apart from the playing itself. Having a great resonant instrument and maybe as importantly, a pro level bow. I tried a 5000€ bow on a 1000€ cello, and a « free with purchase » bow on a 10.000€ cello. Believe me or not but you could hardly tell the difference…. But again, all this is useless if you don’t have the technique so muchas gracias !

Mr. Ferrández, your videos are very helpful and your tone is very good. I am working my way back through your older videos now. Your tips are excellent, and you may have already done this one: how do I improve my sight reading? I'm an intermediate player and I do not take lessons; my method is essentially to slowly work on a challenging piece bit by bit until I'm happy with it. This works well enough for my purposes but it does little to improve my ability to sight read with others on the rare occasion that I play with others. Do you have such a video already? If not, I would certainly like to hear such tips from a professional, as I know you must learn new music all the time. Thanks either way; I hope you come to play in New Orleans one day.

Pablo, thanks so much those encouraging words about sound. Your cello has such a voice. What are some of things you do when learning a composition for the first time?

Could you make a video about time management and how to manage your practice time?

Cool! And Can I ask who are the people that keep doing the thumbs down? What happened to you? Who hurt you? Damn....haters gonna hate...sheesh. Keep posting Pablo! You rock man!!

great lesson! will you invite different Principal cellists show us how to change our sound while suddenly play orchestral solo ?

Gracias por los sub

Excelente consejos Pablo me encantó... Yo tengo unas preguntas, como puedo mejor mis expresiones al tocar como solista

Habla sobre el estudio de la respiración y fraseo.

Thank you. I have so much to learn... sometimes I'm so overwhelmed .... :(

Muchisimas gracias amigo Pablo Ferrandez !! que fortuna poder obtener tus consejos atravez de estos videos . . y confio plenamente en lo que dices porque admiro mucho tu forma de tocar .. Quisiera preguntarte COMO y CUANTOS dias a la semana estudias escalas, arpegios, dobles cuerdas, osea la tecnica pues .. Saber como estudiarla, como pisar, que cosas evaluar, en que pensar , vibrar , no vibrar, estudiar la tecnica friamente o con musicalidad, etc , como estudias tu tecnica ? .. o de verdad siempre solo haces 8min de escalas antes del repertorio como mencionastes en el video PRACTICE ROUTINE TUTORIA?? .. Por favor agradeceria mucho tus instrucciones !!... Hubo un tiempo en el que yo solo me dedicaba a estudiar repertorio, y ya no hacia mas escalas, ni dobles cuerdas ni nada, solo repertorio, y la verdad me sentia mucho mas libre al tocar, setia que era un poco mas musical y espontaneo a nivel corporal. Note que sin importar si hacia tecnica o no, si enfocaba mi practica en pasajes tecnico del repertorio, por ejemplo algun pasaje especial en un estudio de popper o concierto, o un pasaje en dobles cuerdas, podia mejorar mi sonido, mi afinacion, podia mejorar mi legato con alguna pieza cantabile, e ir amoldando mi cuerpo y mis manos al instrumento, etc .. quiero decir que tal vez no necesitaba tecnica para mejorar, sino quizas solo perfeccionar, sensibilizarme y desarrollarme cada vez mas dentro del acto de tocar... Es mi experiencia, y una idea que me da vueltas en la cabeza, aunque asumo que aun asi me falta algo para tener un control mas confiable sobre el intrumento, por eso he intentado retomar la tecnica, pero no se si eso me dara el control que necesito .. necesito mas tecnica, o es otra cosa ? .. que opinas tu ?? .. Si como dices, hay que estudiar el repertorio tal y como se va a tocar cuando es el dia del concierto, podria entonces estudiar la tecnica como una pieza de repertorio ..jejej no se .. ayuda !

Great tutorial, thanks. Is this the camera mic? have you considered recording with stereo pair of studio mics? would be great to hear all details!

Thanks for this useful video, can you give us some tips for Schumann cello concerto, 3rd movement? Thank you

Hi Pablo, thank you very much for your helpful tips. Some question, how can I learn to relax my thumbs?

Could you make "talking about cello" with Santiago?!

I play Arabic oud it is Help Thank you

Thank you Pablo. This is a fantastic advice and so helpful.👍 Is your cello bigger than the normal full size around the middle section? It looks wider than normal cello.

hola PABLO gracias por tus tutoriales ayudan mucho seria bueno tener tu opinion sobre las distintas posiciones del arco INCLINADO O VERTICAL gracias un abrazo

Would you record the Schostakovich sonata? You gave us a little taste. Now I want more. I’d love to listen to more chamber music.

Thank you for your thoughtful insights! Your suggestions have helped me very much! ❤️

I could have played as a soloist in a concert, but the concert was canceled due to the virus 😭

Does "training" your instrument closer to the bridge work for violin? This concept is interesting

Can you make a video about thumb position

First rule to have a great sound: Have a Strad hahahahah

nice advices..so thick accent

Habla en español pa que aprendan, buen video🙌👌👍👏💪🙏

I am not going to be a concert soloist anytime soon but just in case, you know, I still watch this video 😏😏😎

I get it. Everything takea time. But damn... I want to have good tone now, or at least in a few months. Everything such a long ass time

Pablo tengo una pregunta, del 1 al 10 que tan importante son la calidad de las cuerdas? Las mías están vencidas y el cello me suena arenoso, no sé si se deba a eso... gracias!

Thank you so much!! Super helpful
