  • My tutorials are usually meant to be supplemental instruction for those who have already found a private teacher, but today, I’d like to help the people who have absolutely no idea how and where to begin. Hopefully, this video will provide you with enough information to not just get through your very first practice session, but potentially a week or two or at least until you can find a private teacher. For more in-depth instruction on some of these beginner topics (such as tuning your instrument, applying tapes for first position, etc.), check out my tutorial playlist: • Tutorials

    Thank you for alleviating my nervousness...believe it or not I am an ex Para reservist and did not think that anything could unsettle me. 🌹🌹🌹

    I've seen a few videos for beginner cellists, and they were good, but this was the best. And that book sounds good. That was a problem I had playing bass and piano was they'd give you one page and then move on. I didn't feel it helped my sight reading because after playing it a few times I had it memorized and it wasn't challenging me.

    This was great, Sarah! So systematic, easy to follow, and fun! Loved the bow finger exercises---I hadn't seen those before....and also excited to try tuning with a drone. =)

    Thanks so much for this! I'm about to order my first cello (but my 15th instrument) and this is super helpful! :)

    Thank you for your attention to detail, Sarah. I'm just starting to learn, and I don't have the question until I run into them; your instructions are good to know beforehand.

    Tomplay sounds cool. I would have guessed it was for drums with the name 'Tom'

    Thank you Sarah, as a child and young adult a played the violin but always loved the cello, I recently bought a cello at 51 years of age and am pleased how much the two instruments transfer on bow position. I looked up your video to ensure I'm not forming bad habits as I've been self taught so far. I appreciate the level of detail on body position, blowing position, etc. Thank you, I will be looking at more of your videos 😁

    Thank You! Super helpful! I just recently purchased a cello and ever so patiently waiting for it to arrive. I am so excited to start taking lessons and practicing. I really like how you referenced the piano keyboard to the finger board.

    Thanks for your beautiful video. Would you suggest a carbon fiber bow for adult beginners?

    • @sarahjoyrecordings
      @sarahjoyrecordings  Рік тому

      It wouldn’t be my first choice, but they are certainly durable! I would check Fiddlershop. I have one of their Holstein bows and I love it. They’re very reasonably priced as well.
