Celebrating our education-themed September 2022 magazine, online editor Davina Shum chats to pedagogue and cellist Richard Markson about how to teach the concept of sound and tone.
Richard is a former student of cello greats Paul Tortelier and Pierre Fournier, and holds a senior fellowship at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London. He speaks about the importance of singing, organic movement, and listening to a range of music – not just string players! – in an effort to communicate tricky concepts across to students.
