Improve Pitch Accuracy, Body Alignment,
and Shifting on the Cello
Use the Seven Points Method to navigate the cello fingerboard
Obtaining and maintaining pitch accuracy in all positions on stringed instruments is one of greatest challenges for string players. I have addressed this challenge in a progressive method for cello that I call the Seven Points. This new method has two goals: to attain pitch accuracy through a fingerboard-mapping technique; and to facilitate a relaxed, ergonomic style of playing. While this method was conceived for cellists, the principles easily apply to all nonfretted stringed instruments.
