Great Cello Warm up!

Check out this warm up routine from Johannes Moser. He says the whole thing takes about 45 minutes. If you don’t have time for the whole thing at once try breaking it up into 3 sections doing 15 minutes a day! It will truly help your hands, body, and mind get ready for a great playing session 🙂

Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring

Who doesn’t love Bach’s 1723 masterpiece?! I think this is particularly beautiful during the bridal party’s walk down the aisle.

It has a nice tempo for everyone and has a lovely, positive vibe. To me it sounds like the perfect processional piece to get ready for the slow and gorgeous song for the bride.

On the day I filmed this is was 98 degrees here in Minnesota with 80% humidity.. It was the hottest day of the year and so humid my camera fogged up!! But I liked how it turned out so I decided to post it.. 🙂

Beautiful Vineyard Wedding

I played a wedding recently at Danzinger Vineyards in Alma, WI. It’s a gorgeous winery on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. What a beautiful day!

Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers 1965

This project was definitely a labor of love but I like how it turned out! A lot of musicians online will just play over a backing track of guitar, drums, keys, etc. I decided (as always!) to record multiple cello tracks and do it all myself.. that way it is 100% cello!!

This song has been stuck in my head for weeks so hopefully now it will leave my psyche for a little bit.. I can’t even imagine how into this I would have been back in 1965!!

Romantic Flight from How to Train Your Dragon

So much gorgeous music comes out of popular movies!! I actually have never seen the How to Train Your Dragon series but I know most of the songs lol..

This piece was requested for a bride to walk down the aisle too! When researching it I realized that many people are doing so, I think it’s a great choice: simple and elegant 🙂
