You know your scales-but can you perform them confidently when the pressure is on?
Scale Performance Book One: Three-Octave Major Scales was created for advanced cellists who want to move beyond simply playing scales correctly and develop the mastery required for playing demanding repertoire in auditions, performances, juries.
The book begins with 20 Scale Workouts that cover all major keys. Each key is then explored through three pages of Intensive Exercises that focus on the unique technical challenges presented by that particular scale. A section on the C chromatic scale is included, and the book concludes with exercises for 11 scale excerpts (including excerpts from Haydn, Lalo, and Saint-Saens Concertos) found in advanced cello repertoire.
Rather than teaching cellists how to play three-octave scales, this book addresses how to perform them reliably. Many of the exercises are designed around situations that cellists experience in real performances. For example, because players often shift with excessive force when nervous, certain exercises deliberately recreate and train those movements so that technique remains secure under pressure. Throughout the book, the goal is not simply repetition, but the development of accuracy, consistency, and confidence.
This is not a substitute for learning scales. Cellists who are still studying three-octave major scales should begin with Learning Three-Octave Scales on the Cello, Book One by Cassia Harvey. Scale Performance Book One is the next step: a specialized performance-training volume that helps advanced players prepare scales for auditions and concerts while strengthening the technical skills needed for successful repertoire performance.
