- Players often aren't sure how and when to start moving the thumb around. Yes, your thumb does move, but there are steps to go through so that you establish good hand shape and technique.
👍👍👍Cello is very beautiful music 🎼🎵💯💯💯
It really is!
Invaluable advice....many thanks. 🌹
You’re welcome.
Thank you so much for this video answering my question. I have been thinking a lot about my thumb and this clarifies so much! I have begun to think about where I place my thumb on the back of the cello neck as a more fluid position and not so fixed and this is helping. Love your videos! TY
The thumb is the hardest thing to manage! I'm glad you are finding the videos useful. Thanks!
It's amazing how much "proper" beginner technique gets thrown away when we become advanced players :)
I think good fundamental technique should still be under there somewhere, but yes, we do evolve the technique as we advance. I like to see it more as a building - you don't see the foundation once the building is on top of it.
@@CelloRefinery right! like the thumb always remains in the correct position but with the way my fingering developed I noticed that the thumb MUST stay in the perfect position for my technique to work. it was opposite, to "keep the thumb under the second finger at all times and then you will have good technique". i.e. as soon as I learned to play more flat fingered such as "Rostropovich(and newly discovered that Starker flattened his fingers out in the same way!!) the thumb must necessarily remain under the middle of the hand. that technique dictated this, not the thumb dictating the technique. ugh. hope that makes sense.
