Do you think i’ll manage the 4/4 cello even though im 5ft with smaller hands ? Or should i return mine and change it for a 3/4?

Good day All cello lovers my name is Anne from sunny South Africa 😀 I started kinda late in my middle 50's on this beautiful instrument, we immediately bonded & I went for formal cello lessons my music teacher God bless him inspired my so wonderfully I was a shy full of anxiety😢my age was the factor but the heartfelt inspiration I got from my teacher was the key ingredient he calmy said...my dear age is but just a factor... what lies deep in the heart is really what matters...😊 I'm now busy with book 3 my cello and I are besties😂😂I can say I made it so can you... I've celebrated my 60th birthday in July of this year in grand fashion playing my happy birthday song in my cello & few other songs for my family😂😂my daughter joined me with her violin, my son on his french horn we make music like crazy😊 waiting now for my granddaughter she's 2yrs old & she looked at me in anticipation to take over grannies cello😂😂😂make a joyful noise unto the Lord❤

Curious how tall are U ❤😂 What size Cello do you play? Your fav bow length and hair type? FAV rosin? Please, CURIOUS!😊

Creating an utter feeling of light, warmth, comfort and inspiration, thank you Carolyn ❤️🎉

So true, all of it. This made me cry, but in a good way.

If there is true love hung somewhere it's in cello. for me learning to play cello healing my damaged spirit. ❤

So true ❤ Wishing everyone a wonderful, meaningful year ahead 🌟

Carolyn, Happy new year 🎉 ❤❤❤

Hello I was a brass player for over 32 yrs . But now I’am on my 2yr on the cello it is a very hard to play but I have got 5 scales down and practice time is more focused time a week .

💀 1rst-4th is my extension 💀

I started in September, after my then 8 year old had been playing for a year. We have our lessons one after the other and I love that we are learning together. We are very fortunate to have a really wonderful teacher.

absolutely beautiful and heartwarming performance ❤

I love how authentic your video sounds. Many people just pair a video with a studio-recorded cello track, but with yours, I can follow along on my own cello. Thank you!

❤

very helpful....thanks

Thanks for the video Carolyn, it is helpful.

where can I go to find the best place to find the best order to watch your videos as a beginner?

73 years old, had cello less than 1 month... advantage of being a former double bass player...found Scarlatti Sonatas for cello in my bass music. working on 1.. I do understand what you have said and I feel will help me. My main problems are bowing hand strength and mentally adjusting to 5th instead of 4ths. but doing well despite Lyme disease in brain. Therapy by cello....ha . Thanks for your insight.

Just started learning cello this month and gathering more information as I go! The warm ups and set up routines are very similar to what I do as a professional gamer, especially the wrist stretches and training my muscle memory! Thank you so much for all of your videos! 😊

I have smaller hands & am having a tough time finding a 7/8 in my area. Could you please tell me which of the baseline/lower end 4/4's run smaller? Thank you so much!! :)

Thanks for the tips! So I purchased a 3/4 cello for a great price at a garage sale. Worth noting that I wear men’s large gloves Do you foresee any issues with me learning on the smaller cello as a newbie? Not sure I’d run out and buy a 4/4 given my low entry cost

Very helpful for a new cello owner ! Thanks so much

Thank you! I will be performing this at my year 4 recital on December 3rd.

Maybe you cover this in another video, but inspecting the bridge after changing strings is necessary. Some strings do not slide easily over the bridge and it gets pulled over and the feet of the bridge come off at an angle to the cello body. This affects the sound.

Do you recommend wrist vibrato or arm vibrato for a beginner?

Carolyn, this was helpful to me. Being a 63 year old beginner taking private lessons, I have adopted this warmup routine minus the vibrato part, still working on shifting as part of my daily after I tune each string first. Thanks for the advice. Cheers!

Very well done. ❤

Thank you, Carolyn, for another wonderful video; I'm a 64 year old multi instrumentalist musician, being playing since I was 14; this year, after being diagnosed with cancer and supposedly being now, cancer free and in need of something to help get my mind back to normal and cope with the stress I decided to learn the cello, which is an instrument I was always in love with and my knowledge of music is definitely making the journey a little easier; currently I'm learning on my own but I'll definitely find a teacher to make sure I don't get trapped into bad habits; I've been following your videos (and subscribed) and I would like to thank you for making them available

Do you need perfect pitch to learn cello?

I don't understand the measurements how do they work? Do you measure the fret board or the body of the cello where does the 4/4 get its measurements from I have a cello but I don't know what its measurements are!!

Such a beautiful piece. Thankyou for dor sharing. How can we find the sheet music 😢?!

Thank you so much for the wonderful lesson; I'm a multi instrumentalist musician and just last month I decided I want to learn the cello, which is an instrument I've always been in love with, but never tried to learn, until now; long way to go, but I'm sure it'll be rewarding

Absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful, so much feeling. Are you using a 7/8 cello?

Never had tapes across the finger boards, only tiny dots on the side of the fingerboard so they're not visible from the front. Enough to see them with my peripheral vision, and I play a lot by ear so it also helps me remember a lot of pieces by pattern memory and it also helps on the long fast shifts. I'm going to keep them forever, rather look like a noob and surprise people than the other way around 🤣 I have tapes on 1,3,4 then 0 which corresponds to the next open string, then the pattern repeats with 1,3,4 so instead of playing the first position on the A string I can do it on the D string as well and follow the same pattern. So if I know where C is on the A string it's in the same place as the pattern on the D string.

That is some GOOD PLAYING ! That old stump sounds pretty good ! Rich harmonics ! How old is that cello ? Very good intonation !! You have a great ear 👂 !!

called me out on many of these 😁 yes that ⅞th size sounds nice as a beginner. my full size instrument is a bit big for my hand stretch (& I'm tall), as a beginner. the whole posture of everything is also a leap, plus my teacher also has different finger lengths than me

I've always been afraid to mark my music because I know later I'll find better patterns and just muddy the whole sheet.

If I get a cello, would I be cheating on my viola? 🤔

bello? Che partitura è? o dove si trova?

I first learned to play at the age of 10 when the intermediate school orchestra teacher came to our class every week for lessons. I fell in love with the cello enough that my parents paid for weekly professional lessons from the first chair cellist in our city philharmonic. As most children do when they grow up, my interest changed and I grew bored. Near the end of high school I leaned into the passion again and rented to buy with my lifeguard money. I’ve owned a cello for 7 years now but unfortunately never got motivated enough to play consistently. I take it out once a year for several weeks then it goes back in the corner. It’s that time again and I really want to devote myself to being good enough to play in the worship band at church. Your channel has inspired me, I’m getting new strings today to jump start my journey again!

ooooooooø ccccccccccccccccccč, yara

Man! What a beautiful piece! And beautifully played. I can't tell if Carolyn is just doing a marvelous job of interpretation or if her cello is telling us beautiful story!

So touching and deep. TY

absolutely love it!

wonderful to be able to play together while being physically remote. Bravo all players and bravo, Carolyn!!!

Hey, this is real cool. Enjoyed it. Well done team. Love to join in.
