To RECAP - The warm ups are Finger Patterns (could be any pattern doesn't have to be Hot Cross Buns), Scales in pairs or multiple keys (doesn't have to be just 2) and the Colle bow stroke exercise either on a scale or on a piece, but use your imagination! Also, why do you think these are the most powerful, or why do you disagree? Let me know here in the comments.

I started the hot cross and cold buns from another of your videos and it is perfect for me ! I will add the paired scales now...at least I'll try 😊

[@barriereid9244]

I have always had a warm up routine for both the cello and myself. I begin with bowing on open strings, to then play single octaves on each string. I have since age 12 studied martial arts and although I consider myself flexible (Aikido) it is not the same daily warm up or dexterity as for the cello.

[@thecelloonline]

I would love to know more about your experience with the comparison between martial arts and cello. I am sure there is much our community could learn. Both my boys do Taekwondo. It’s so good for them and so much that’s comparable to music.

[@barriereid9244]

My hands are basically Okinawan. Press ups on my knuckles from day 1, making my hands less round in aspect on the fingerboard. I go through the same body warm up routine prior to a 20 minute kata...which involves a 5 minute breathing\meditation in seiza (kneeling) at the beginning and end of my practice in one square metre...much the same as one, two, three octave on one string...Close Quarter Combat.
At times I feel that my hands\wrists are not supple enough and it is simply awkward\poor technique that fails me, not my 65 year old body. I have returned to the cello after two decades...intensive care nurse then investigative journalist in West Africa and bought my cello ten months ago. New bow hold, new everything and a new Krentz Modulator that has silenced my C#.
Many thanks for your valuable advice. You are one of three regular teachers I follow and working solely on baroque music. I heard The Brandenburg Concertos (recorded directly onto vinyl in the Berlin venue during the mid fifties) when I was five...I am looking forward to playing them for myself.
Take care.
