Excellent

I love this exercise! Thank you 😊

Thank you, Jen! I'm in my 60's and have been taking cello lessons off and on for over 10 years. I have struggled with vibrato because as a kid my parents decided I was going to play the viola but couldn't afford private lessons and I envied those that could. Also, the viola was very uncomfortable to play. I've overthought vibrato and watched too many videos and it just confused me. But your very clear instruction is just what I need. I have also thought that if I keep up with vibrato practice it will one day just click. I don't want a bad vibrato so I'm not rushing it. I watch your video almost every day. You're great!

Great job! I enjoyed your presentation. EWM

When do you use the third finger to play vibrato?

Thank you! I'm picking up the cello at age 59 for the first time in 20 years. I only played for about a year then, and life got too busy. I had been working on vibrato when I stopped and was having a rough time. This is perfect. So much better than the way a teacher at a university where I lived was instructing me to develop it.

Thank you! I’m an adult that just took up Double Bass and this was very helpful. The teacher I have used the German way and suggested I check out some TH-cam vids for different options than he does. 🙂👍

This is wonderful. Thank you.

Totally wrong. Pathetic amateur.

Cool!!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you

vee- BRAH- toe, please. This is an Italian word, not English: not "vibrate" with an "O" on the end. Glad to finally see someone teach about NO THUMB ! Thank you!

How was the étude hold on

vibratos are just controlled wolf notes. change my mind.

Very excellent video, and I will be using it to learn from! BTW I'm an instrument maker and repairman. I have 221 instruments in my collection now. I just got a cello for $150 that is worth almost $1000. I have a huge rack of violins and other string instruments that I have made. I normally play violin and guitar, but now wish to do cello! Thanks for making this video!!!

good sound but touching some string for error

Thank you so much!!

Your viola is to low, maybe you can try putting higher!

I love this 😮

Thumb position is any position that uses time, and the best way to introduce it is to add the thumb to an existing position, instead of starting an entirely new position with the one digit you have never used.

The best teacher ever. You remind me of my paino teacher, Mrs Coetzee. She was so passionate about teaching the piano, all her students were A students. I wish you could be my cello teacher. Well done 🙌🙌

Your website is not working. How do we get to the full Dragonhunter videos?

Lol, cute.

Excellent Tutorial! Thanks!

I'm so excited. I can't wait to try this. Thank you you very my.

Excellent tutorial

The lateral head of my tricep huts. does that mean I am doing it correctly?

Thanks a lot for these explanations !

I’d go for the 1/16 speed, and a pack of pic-pacs after 😛

How big is your viola ? 17?

Thank you for the tips! This is great 👍 Thanks for the giggle :)

Orchestra Tutor I've played Na Na Na by Pentatonix on a 5ths Tuned Double Bass & I found the advantage of 5ths Tuning on Double Bass (octave below a Cello except for the 1/32 size Bass being the same register as a Cello due to the small body) is that you'll have much better intonation & the sound will be more equal.

Very clear. Thank you for this

Go Jessica! Using your video for my HS Orchestra students!!!! Xo from LA

What a horrible way to teach how to hold the bow

rickyyyyyyyy

thank you!! you are a lovely woman and cellist and teacher.

if you want to learn instantly, I'll save you all the useless time on this video. 1. press down on the string with one finger 2. move your wrist up and down 3. move it fast but not too fast or fast enough so it sounds good to the ear.

Why does my shoulder feel tense?

Excellent video. I've always used my cello for sound design, and samples when I needed to do a line. I feel like I could work on this and get good at it! Such a good explanation of the technique

whos here for cedar ridge orchestra home learning

Thanks for being good at teaching me violin

These are great tips!

I'm 72 and began learning cello four months ago in Buenos Aires. I share my instrument with a ten-year old who has played two years and tried vibrato on her own during a practice session in my home. You provide the exercises she needs to prepare for playing with vibrato. I'm going to do them myself so I can show her. I have the best reason to trim the fingernails on my left hand. I need the curved hand position! Thanks for your excellent explanation.

Spanish subs please :c

Fantastic, MUCHAS GRACIAS

Relearning Viola here after 15 years! Struggling with the 4th finger and this helps a lot!! Thank you 👍🏾❤️❤️
