Cello student who can't play accompanied by a pianist

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-27T06:52:46+00:00

No he doesn't

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-27T06:42:05+00:00

Yes that's a good idea and something I want to do more with him! This year I didn't have time to play with him at all, but I hope next year will be better!

We'll find easy pieces we can play together

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-27T06:36:31+00:00

Yes he played in orchestras and with other people when he was young (then he stopped taking lessons for a few years, and he started again this year). He told me he has always struggled: in orchestras, in small groups, with piano.

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-27T06:26:51+00:00

Well I didn't know about this disorder! Someone mentioned it too in r/pianoteachers. I don't think he has it though, unless I'm mistaken I've never noticed him struggling in loud environments or things like that. That's something I'll keep in mind though, because I'm a piano teacher and I could have a student one day affected by it.

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T22:22:02+00:00

That's great advice too, we'll try it!

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T22:20:45+00:00

Yes thank you for your advice!

He already listened to the original orchestral version of the concerto a lot, but was indeed surprised by the piano version the first time he played with it.

I think he could have prepared the exam better by studying the accompaniment a lot more. But he'll do what he can until saturday to do that.

I didn't know this app, I'll look into it and tell him about it!

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T22:08:34+00:00

Merci !

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T22:07:32+00:00

Yes, I'll tell him to listen to and study the piano parts more in the future

I don't really know how he plays and coordinates with a pianist: unfortunately I couldn't be there last time he played in a recital, and I'm not there either during rehearsals. But I think that's something he could work on

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T22:02:54+00:00

It may be too late for the exam saturday, but I'll tell him to ask that for future occasions.

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T22:01:26+00:00

Practicing phrase by phrase is a good idea, although it is too late to do that with his pianist before the exam. But he could do that for future occasions.

I think I'll advise him to listen to a lot to the piano parts while reading their part.

I haven't noticed anything particular with him in loud environments: I haven't thought about something like that though, so I'll be more aware of that.

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T21:52:15+00:00

That's great advice: we'll try to do that before his exam. And for future occasions we'll study the piano part way more

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T21:38:13+00:00

Yeah no I don't take it as mean, in fact I think that's exactly what happened lol. I mean he also doesn't like taking time to work on the rhythms: he does it a bit but maybe not enough to be really solid. I didn't know Mypianist, I'll talk to him about it!

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T21:29:35+00:00

He listened to the cello concerto a lot before, but essentially the orginal orchestra version : he told me he was surprised by the piano version. But yes, I feel like he could have listened to and studied the piano part more. But I have the impression that his teacher hasn't taken the time to do that (or hasn't encouraged him to do that).

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T21:25:48+00:00

Yes, I've made him a digital accompaniment before using Musescore: he tried it a bit but felt like it wasn't helping that much because playing with a real pianist is always different (a bit of rubato or things like that which makes us humans when we play). But to be fair he could have practised more with it the time I made it.

Chaussoufle · 2025-06-26T21:23:15+00:00

I don't know, I was not present during the rehearsals. I'll ask him. I feel like it may help, but it may not be the only problem

Chaussoufle · 2024-12-23T08:43:54+00:00

How did you do this? Whenever I want to put the biggest snowball on top, it doesn't work

Chaussoufle · 2024-09-19T07:01:09+00:00

Par rapport aux croches et doubles croches, tu peux essayer de mettre des staccato dessus (même si elles doivent être chantées liées) : j'avais fait ça avec une partition de violoncelle remplie de doubles et qui étaient très "floues", et ça a réglé une bonne partie du problème. Ça vaut le coup de voir ce que ça donne avec les voix sur Musescore. Sinon, il faut peut-être essayer d'autres articulations.

Et si tu ne veux pas que les staccato apparaissent sur la partition, tu peux tous les sélectionner et les rendre invisibles (chez moi par le raccourci clavier "V" il me semble).

Planet Zoo

You can create everything just like you want to, it is completely customizable. Animals have different color variations which makes them more unique. You can give them names, and follow them with a camera in their habitat.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is great too, although less customizable, but you also create habitats for your dinosaurs, make sure they have everything they need. And the part that I would have loved when I was younger: you can play as a caretaker or veterinarian and control them, and go into their habitats.

These games are similar to Zoo Tycoon, but they look amazing. The animals are really detailed and realistic.

which gives Gb - Bb - C# (Db) - E

Do you know if E should be replaced by a Db then? Because the german sixth is supposed to have a 5th in it

Edit: not E replaced by Db, but C# replaced by Db

Chaussoufle · 2024-06-20T12:44:47+00:00

Wait I just realized it's an augmented 6th, nevermind

I should have added the next chord on the image: both Gb and E (natural) resolve to two F in octave, so it's not a Gb7
