RE: New Mini Project For Cellists-
Added 2025-04-28 21:42:29 +0000 UTCReaching out to my cello nerd patrons:
Hope you’re doing well! I was wondering if you’d be up for checking out a little project I’ve been working on.
A few years ago, I created a series of audio meditations for our String Yoga program at String Project LA. The idea was to help students release tension and feel more grounded at the instrument. Each track is designed to be played during warmups—like long tones, slow scales, arpeggios, or double stops—anything repetitive that doesn’t require too much mental focus. I've only included the Key of C here but I'm planning on releasing with all the other key keys included as separate tracks
I’m thinking about putting them out into the world, especially for young cello students who might benefit from a more mindful warmup routine.
Would you be willing to try them out during your warmups and let me know what you think? I’m especially curious if the format feels intuitive, if the sounds are helpful or distracting, and any ways you think it could be improved.
This isn’t a commercial thing—just something I care about and hope might be helpful to others. The backstory is in the forward, if you’re curious.
Thanks so much, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Warmly,
Jacob
