Singing cello

About this exposition

Name: Aleix Sala Ribera Main Subject: Cello Research Supervisor: Enno Voorhorst Title of Research: Singing Cello Research Question: How can we use vocal resources in order to improve our cello playing? Summary of Results: A vocal approach to the cello can be extremely beneficial. In this research paper, I analyzed what singers do and how we can transfer some of their resources to cello playing so it can enrich our sense of communication. The results that I came up with are the following: •I have experienced that the use of singing during practice improves the advantage of the time you spend. •Through singing, it is much easier to find your own interpretation and then be able to transmit it to the cello •The use of inner singing while performing gives you much more focus in music and not in technical aspects of the playing. •The importance of breath in playing; the amount of energy that it can give to you, is one the most valuable things I have discovered in my playing. Biography: Aleix Sala was born in 1988 in Barcelona and began studying the cello at the age of eight.

He has played with orchestras such as Jove Orquestra Nacional de Catalunya, Barcelona Filarmonia and Orquestra de Cambra del Penedès.
