appreciate this. Great video! Just one small point though. Unless I misunderstood something, at 2:57 the fingering goes to 0124 (not 0134 like to see in G strings for the non-flat notes) where finger three is actually F sharp and C-sharp on the last two string ( D,A respectively).
It is so hard to start as a beginner when you are an adult, but it can be the very best thing for you and for your child! Look for a teacher near you! Perhaps you can rent an instrument from a music store nearby? Good luck!
Hi! Did you manage to find a teacher for your 3yo then? My friend found a teacher who was willing to take her 3yo son and they are progressing through the 1st Suzuki book. He’s a naturally prim professor and professional cellist who never taught toddlers before, and had asked mum to support from home. Mum searched for strategies on her own, which she had to implement in class, or the teacher wasn’t able to get the boy to do much in class. Latest is he’s asked her to teach her now 4yo music theory herself because her son “needs to learn to read asap”. It’s not a good fit, but he’s the only one in the area willing to accept toddlers. Might you have any thoughts or suggestions for children’s theory books adapted for the cello?
Funny. The cello has the same string pattern as the Violas. Our lowest note is a C. And yet we are in Alto Clef. Now, I now how to read Bass clef. Thank you Angela.
Tell me you work for a drafting company without telling me you work for a drafting company 😄 Jk but seriously great artwork that was satisfying to watch be drawn as much as it was informative!
i’m trying to learn both viola and cello, already learned viola to fullest and i’m starting cello now. don’t think it should be too hard because it’s only an octave lower than alto clef
Yes! Good catch! It’s a flaw in my chart. 😉 Most beginner cellists start with F# and C# (so use 3rd finger on D and A strings)... but those sharps are not marked in my chart 😬. Something I’ve wanted to fix in this video for a while!
Great question! To keep the video more simple, I didn’t include ALL the options for flats and sharps and naturals. So every finger is not included in this video.
I used to play the cello for 14 years and randomly forgot. this was more helpful than all of those lessons

I still suck at reading notes but thank you for taking the time to make this video!
I always remember the notes GBDFA as Good Boys Do Fine Always. Thanks for the tutorial. I'm trying to learn myself.
This was fabulous! Thank you. Switching from a lifetime of treble to bass cell is oof.
This was PERFECT!!!! I just started and my instructor is AWESOME but I was still struggling
Thank you!!! This is the best beginner video I have found. Thank you 🙏 thank you
imaging, thank you soooo much!!!! Im just a mum of 3 y.o. boy who loves cello so much and have no idea how I can start.

At my age, maybe, if I slow this waaaaaaaaaay down, I'll get it. I think my 5 minutes should be more like 15. LOL
This helped so much thank you 🙏
Where is the second Finger? finger numbered 2 in the fingerings?
i’m trying to learn both viola and cello, already learned viola to fullest and i’m starting cello now. don’t think it should be too hard because it’s only an octave lower than alto clef
Thank you for the work ❤️ question: aren't the fingerings on the D and A string 0124 (instead of 0134 for C and G string)?
Yes! Good catch! It’s a flaw in my chart. 😉 Most beginner cellists start with F# and C# (so use 3rd finger on D and A strings)... but those sharps are not marked in my chart 😬. Something I’ve wanted to fix in this video for a while!
Why finger 2 is not there?
so helpful, thank you very much 😊🙏
This helped me so much
Very well done, thank you
Thank You !
That was amazing presentation
👏 👏👏👏👏
Love it ❤️❤❤❤❤
Agree. I can see that children would love this!!!
Im a flute player. I want to pick up cello as its as much of a dream as playing flute was, but learning a new instrument is hard at any level.
Im getting my first cello soon
Hope you and your cello keep making music together forever!
@@angelacorbin2400 thank you so much, I'm currently taking lessons
I remembered the notes using the mnemonics
G.ood B.urritis D.ont F.all A.ppart and A.ll C.ows E.at G.rass.
Good ones!
❤❤❤

This is fantastic! Thank you!
thanks🙃
the only thing i dont understand is the 0134. whats the number used for? i dont understand
Its the number of fingers u place on the respective strings
Why is 2 missing
Great question! To keep the video more simple, I didn’t include ALL the options for flats and sharps and naturals. So every finger is not included in this video.
