My instructor would always say BREATHE whenever I got too tense when I played. It made me a better player.

Your cello is so beautiful! What a wonderful color.

Fascinating. . . . When I stop and think about and practice it, it works. I don't know how many times I have been engrossed in a piece and I realize that I am holding my breath. This tip should help.

I really wanted to watch this video but it immediately made me dizzy because the audio keeps panning all the time. :\
