Taught by cello virtuoso and educator Amit Peled.
Learn fundamental right-hand technique for bowing. Understand all the common bow strokes — and improve your ability to adjust the tone and color of all the music you make.
Ever struggled with tension and stilted movements while playing the cello, resulting in less of yourself coming through in your playing? You might wonder if there’s a way to break free.
There is. World-renowned pedagogue Amit Peled reveals it through his “Ten Cello Commandments.” Learn how to align the cello with your full humanity: from breathing and the way your body supports your movement, to walking, talking, and even singing. Follow this “way of life” to unleash your own expressive power and poetic artistry.
Pioneering Israeli cellist Amit Peled has earned international acclaim for his contributions to modern cello artistry and pedagogy. He is equally at home on the stages of Carnegie Hall, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, London's Wigmore Hall, and the Konzerthaus Berlin as he is at the Peabody Institute, where he has held a professorship since 2003.
Aside from being an accomplished recording artist, now represented internationally by CTM Classics, Peled is the founder of two unique, groups that prove his dedication as a teacher: the nationally-touring Amit Peled Cello Gang, comprised of his Peabody Institute students, and the Mount Vernon Virtuosi, a chamber orchestra built to help graduates launch their careers.
