Simple but brilliant...excellent tool to get our brains re-orieneted to "speaking cello" after speaking multiple other languages (work, kids, interpersonal relationships, etc.) through the course of our day
Hello ! I have been ill most of the year and feel I lost all my little skills ! I felt discouraged and wanted to give up...until I saw your video ! This basic warm up is just what I need to regain some confidence !! Thank you so much Ilia ! ❤
My warm-up is similar. But starting on G major. Focussed on the bowing (my biggest "problem"), with 1 note/ bow, 4 notes/bow, 8 notes/bow. Mostly Octaves, sometimes on one string (as you played it) Mostly 3 times do you can focus on one aspect after another.😊
I enjoy playing along with you, and also learn by watching you. You are very clear and consistent. Thank you for helping me and so many others get better on the cello.
I like your explanation on what to listen for. I’ve been doing a similar warm up and must confess I sometimes think it is too basic, but it works beautifully as warm up
My teacher usually tells me to not course correct, but restart the wrong note trying to hit the right note, he says otherwise we are practicing how to make the mistake not how to make it right. What are your thoughts on that?
Your teacher has good point. And I wouls encourage to so the same. Somehow, when we are playing, and we play an out of tune note, we need to course correct so that the mistake we made is immediately ‘forgiven’. But of course we aim to get the right note straight away! But imagine, you are playing during a performance, and you did not hit that note, you have no other choice than course correcting. And it is a good skill to develop reaction and being quick. Otherwise, I completely agree with you!

Absolutely true what you say! Thank you for watching!
BRAVO!! It's also a great way to calm your mind....to prepare for concentrated practice on the rep. at hand.
Thank you! And agree with you 200 %!
I’ve been playing for nearly a decade… and this seems like it’d be helpful to me! 😅
It will be helpful! And it’s actually so easy 😄

Oh! Bowing 😂 That is always the biggest problem, not only for you, but for everyone. Sometimes including me 😂 Great warm up routine you have! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Your caressing the “cello”!
BEAUTIFUL sound.

Thank you! The cello cared so much on me so I need to treat it back likewise! Or at least trying 😂

Is it deliberate to play shorted up bows in your scales?
Excelent
Thank you!
This is awesome, thank you! Would you recommend anything different for an intermediate/advanced player?
Thank you for watching! Absolutely! That will be one of my next videos 😊

Obrigado!
