Thank you. This helps so much.

Clay, I ran into this issue at my first practice for Simply Strings. As I showed up, interesting on how to set up first, took my butt pad in and folding music stand and music in first, forgot my end pin strap was in my case. Then I found a low metal folding chair (way too low) then went to get my cello,bow,and Korg tuner. After a 2 hour practice my gluts felt like they were burning! I then asked my Mom to borrow her two chair pads with mine on top (three pads total) I have a metal chair at home so I am beginning to practice this way. I think I will need to find a bag to hold these pads, music, tuner, strap and bottle of water. My teacher, who directs the group, went through all the music, not just the two pieces we went through at my lesson on Monday! Do you have a video about a beginner jumping in to play with a string group? My teacher told me to find a large birth as I am six foot six. I sat in the last row and accidentally hit the gal’s cello to my right setting up, I apologized. Two more cellists showed up late and set up behind me for a total of 10 cello’s, I should have sat way back there to start with. The good thing was I sat next to an older lady on my left who started cello last year and she helped me with how to hold the bow while playing pizzicato. As a beginner with only three lessons under his belt, I played half notes, whole notes, etc and left the twiddly bits alone. I am still navigating the strings and playing two strings at time and generated some strange looks from the gal front left, so I sat tacit for much of the song. It was baptism by fire! Just cello’s have a practice to run through Suzuki book one. I am not all the way through yet so I have been cramming watching your book one video with piano accompaniment. Any words of advice for me, I mean I have mastered the bagpipe and played in a pipe band. Also in one of your videos I noticed a violin on the wall, I have played violin for 9 months, is it alright to still practice the violin while learning a new instrument like cello.

1st, I would definitely solve the chair problem, I am not sure about sitting on 3 cushions, that presents some instability that might mess with your back in a bad way. Cushions are great, important, but multiple of them and the benefit starts going into the negative I think. I do have more resources coming next month for the Suzuki books, I know that doesn’t help you now though. Keep playing along to the performance video and remember that there are several tutorials on the pieces of book 1 on the channel including a series livestreams that I did recently where I hit alll the main points to remember when practicing book 1. ua-cam.com/users/livek_kBUKIqpKU?si=cpuE-3KvcrXwyhmd As for jumping in and playing you just have to get in there and do it! Grant yourself lots of grace and forgiveness and remember that if you teacher told you to be there thats a big positive on how you are doing.

@@thecelloonline Thanks for the advice. I just went through you live streams on Suzuki book one, #’s 1 to 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 13, and 14 to 17, very helpful tips on what Suzuki concept he is teaching. I am going to look on Amazon for some 2 or 3 inch chair cups or blocks to set the metal folding chair on to give me that height w/o using three cushions like I used for my couch at home, bad knees!

I would like to see a video about what to do, when you remove the tapes.

I love this! It’s exactly why I made this video. Cello Intonation for Frustrated Beginners
ua-cam.com/video/CKdNBSFJjnk/v-deo.html the word frustrated is in the title but the truth is that you don’t have to wait until you are frustrated to do this. I would start doing it immediately. Finger patterns are the key to freedom after taking tapes off.
