Introducing Part One of My Cello Technique "The Bow Technique of Andre Navarra" now available with professionally produced English subtitles recently commissioned by Cello Australia. This wonderful film provides an insight into the technical approach of one of the undisputed legends of cello performance of the 20th Century, the great French cellist Andre Navarra (1911 - 1988). We thank Maestro Navarra's son, Michel Navarra for copyright permission to reproduce the film and his blessing to undertake this important project which makes these cello secrets accessible to English speakers for the first time. I would also like to acknowledge in particular my valued colleague Cecilia Tsan who is a former student of Navarra who studied with him for seven years in both Paris and Siena, who has worked tirelessly on the translation of this video and has provided many direct insights into Navarra's thinking on aspects of cello technique. Also we appreciate the efforts of Anna Rex who undertook the initial French transcription of Navarra's words and Odile Blandeau our professional subtitler.

Best Wishes,

***The whole film consists of four parts and we are still in need of donations to help us complete English subtitles for the remaining three parts. If you enjoy Part 1 please consider contributing to our GOFUNDME campaign which will make these treasures available to future generations of English speaking cellists -
