This is awesome! But I was wondering, how would you organize all of this information? What would be a good route to take when learning to progress in cello?
Good question! I will answer this in more detail in an upcoming video "How To Learn Cello Online". Short answer: find a Scale Book, then a technique book (usually études and the like) and then a repertoire book. Hence, a Scale Book like mine, some Suzuki books, and maybe All for Strings. This is all pieces to a model, and the glue that brings them together is a teacher . . . or the internet/social media. More to come!
Hi Jonathan! Can you do an explanation of the forward extension on the G string my teacher tried to explain it to me last night an I sort of understand but could you go over it for me, please. I love your videos keep them coming!
I am so happy to see your channel. As a 50+ aged woman who really has a minuscule amount of music training I'm thrilled to get your help!!!! Awesome effort on your part! Gonna check out your web page! TY! Just as an fyi I'm in the third year of recovery from a bad stroke. It gives me great joy to each day to get up and learn how to play the cello. I use to built furniture-in my previous life- in the beginning I had to learn a lot of tools and techniques before I could build any decent pieces. Knowing that work has to be done, I'm not put off at all by the learning curve but I am so grateful for your guidance too. Thanks so much!!!!!!!
Are the All for strings Comprehensive String Method book 1, 2 and 3 rather advanced books? I checked the ones you've recommended and I also came across those.
What about Feuillard? I'm just starting my second year, working with Suzuki and my teacher recently gave me an old used copy of Feuillard ("The Young Cellist's Method") for "dessert" and I love it. I'd become restive with Suzuki because it seems he holds my hand as if I were a child, which I am definitely not. Do you find Feuillard a worthy addition to the learning process for adults? (Love ya, Jonathan!)
"All four strings" is EXCELLENT. I also have some music theory books; if you beginner needs them, let me know. I also suggest to visit the page of the German cellist Georg Mertens. He organized his own method and it is excellent. Also read his articles about the bow and its usage. Very good. I have all his work and it will help you a lot. And by the way, it is all written in ENGLISH. He lives in Australia now. 👍😉
Nice cozy playing the cello at the fireplace at 0:34
Nice photo too! It was so hot that evening! For anyone reading this, yes that was a REAL FIRE.
Sou do Brasil muito bom seu vídeos.
Thank you very much Jonathan! Your videos are always super interesting and useful.
You are welcome, Luca
I got your scale book, cool (and also nice the pieces at the very end thank you!! ... ;O)
Cool. And thanks for the spellcheck on those words. Silly me, didn't proofread with a native speaker! :-p
a lifesaver indeed
you are most welcome
