Cam Sawzin's "Kickboxing Cellist" Masterclass |
Cam Sawzin’s “Kickboxing Cellist” Masterclass
Not a kickboxing class but a cello masterclass using sports modalities and proven methods. “Kickboxing is about connecting upper and lower body, balance and creating an efficient kinetic chain. It uses concepts and similar motions seen in healthy, relaxed and expressive cello playing.”   LEARN Movement Find out how a right hook is similar to a fast up bow and a left hook like an upward shift—as in boxing they are circular motions. STRUCTURE • Basic principles of kickboxing with short lesson • Left hand Releases incorporating back and shoulder blades • Vibrato- different speeds and widths with demonstrations and coaching Connection Discover how to slide down with lats and shoulder blades to counteract lifting with shoulders, thus releasing tension and creating a resonant full sound especially at the upper half of the bow. Balance By lining up elbow and wrist you’ll learn to balance weight on your playing finger without pressing to discover more overtones.  • Basic shifting principles including shifting from feet and hips • Bow technique and sound production and relaxation • Questions and answers  The class will be offered at the Lexington Music School at Munroe Center for the Arts, 1403 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington on Tuesday September 14th at 6pm on Zoom and on Sunday September 18th in-person (and on Zoom) at Lexington Music School at 3pm.
