    Ilia, you are a professional soloist, have been principal cello in a brilliant orchestra and you are still able to give absolutely clear, detailed and illustrated lessons for others, breaking down tricky things into simpler elements. These are all individual skills, each one of which you perfect. Your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you. Any tips/exercises/demos of vibrato, please?

    Scales, arpeggios, 7th chords in 1,2,3,4,8,12,16ths every day; the best

    Yes, scales and arpeggios are great, don’t like it when I was sitting for exams with all the dogmatic practices, now that I’m playing more pieces, found that these are great for smooth finger changes and understanding the “geography” of the notes😊
    Thumb position is really an unique “poise” for cellist😊
    Great video, maestro👏👏

    I love scales. My teacher is always telling me to spend less time on scales. However progress still sucks and its incredibly frustrating.

    This is "basic" stuff but honestly having your list laid out so clearly is super helpful for me. I just started an elementary school string orchestra teaching gig and I'm having to relearn how I can both find time to spend with my instrument outside of "work music" time and how to enjoy that time. This is gonna be a great starting reference point.

      Indeed! Very basic stuff, but oh so important. Good luck for your teaching gig! Thanks for stopping by!

    Awesome tips man, thanks for this! I go to South Carolina Governors School for Arts for cello so I’ll be sure to use this every day in my practice sessions!

    I think my problem (as a self taught+ UA-cam) is that I play all arpeggios in the 1st position, except on the A string... because i don't know the best way to play each key...
    Also, sight reading has been the absolute best thing that improved my playing and confidence. Then I circle the things i couldn't sight read and exercise those phrases separately.

    Hi Ilya, great channel! I have played cello for a long while when I was younger and stopped for several years. I am looking to get back into it. Do you ever record your practice lessons, then listen to it? Do you know if that is helpful for our progress? Florian

    • @IliaLaporevcellist
      @IliaLaporevcellist  День тому +1

      Hi Florain, thank you so much! Me personally, I never record. It’s like recording myself talking, and then listening to my own voice (why I am doing UA-cam???). Jokes aside, I do highly recommend to record and track your playing as you will listen to it as third person view. Because when we play, sometimes we do not hear the small little details. Hope that helps. Have a great day and enjoy coming back to the cello! Greetings!

      @@IliaLaporevcellist Thanks! I got the idea from amateur tennis, where many of us also record ourselves - how we think we are playing vs. how we are actually playing is often very different.

    It‘s possible to play all Bach Cello Suites without thump position (which was unknown at his time), even if you need a 5-string instrument for the 6th.
    And Bach‘s Cello Suites aren’t the same level as „twinkle, twinkle, little star“…

    Scales are like opening a path in a dense forest: when you clear a walkway, you have to keep walking through it constantly to keep the path open.

    I though #1 would be an exercise to improve vibrato.

    • @IliaLaporevcellist
      @IliaLaporevcellist  17 годин тому

      It actually depends, if it’s an beginner, then not really. Vibrato is something pretty advanced.

      Klengel's the answer to good technique. Mix it up and play in different ways in. Broken thirds, parallel octaves, etc. Also various tempos. Great results! You give great lessons. Love it!

    Только вот гаммы , Арпеджио играют в 4 октавы , а не в 3 .

    • @IliaLaporevcellist
      @IliaLaporevcellist  День тому +1

      Вообще да, обязательно надо играть с 4 октавы. Ну как видео для начинающих, поэтому 3 октавы.
