Never had tapes across the finger boards, only tiny dots on the side of the fingerboard so they're not visible from the front. Enough to see them with my peripheral vision, and I play a lot by ear so it also helps me remember a lot of pieces by pattern memory and it also helps on the long fast shifts. I'm going to keep them forever, rather look like a noob and surprise people than the other way around 🤣 I have tapes on 1,3,4 then 0 which corresponds to the next open string, then the pattern repeats with 1,3,4 so instead of playing the first position on the A string I can do it on the D string as well and follow the same pattern. So if I know where C is on the A string it's in the same place as the pattern on the D string.

That is some GOOD PLAYING ! That old stump sounds pretty good ! Rich harmonics ! How old is that cello ? Very good intonation !! You have a great ear 👂 !!

called me out on many of these 😁 yes that ⅞th size sounds nice as a beginner. my full size instrument is a bit big for my hand stretch (& I'm tall), as a beginner. the whole posture of everything is also a leap, plus my teacher also has different finger lengths than me

I've always been afraid to mark my music because I know later I'll find better patterns and just muddy the whole sheet.

If I get a cello, would I be cheating on my viola? 🤔

bello? Che partitura è? o dove si trova?

I first learned to play at the age of 10 when the intermediate school orchestra teacher came to our class every week for lessons. I fell in love with the cello enough that my parents paid for weekly professional lessons from the first chair cellist in our city philharmonic. As most children do when they grow up, my interest changed and I grew bored. Near the end of high school I leaned into the passion again and rented to buy with my lifeguard money. I’ve owned a cello for 7 years now but unfortunately never got motivated enough to play consistently. I take it out once a year for several weeks then it goes back in the corner. It’s that time again and I really want to devote myself to being good enough to play in the worship band at church. Your channel has inspired me, I’m getting new strings today to jump start my journey again!

ooooooooø ccccccccccccccccccč, yara

Man! What a beautiful piece! And beautifully played. I can't tell if Carolyn is just doing a marvelous job of interpretation or if her cello is telling us beautiful story!

So touching and deep. TY

absolutely love it!

wonderful to be able to play together while being physically remote. Bravo all players and bravo, Carolyn!!!

Hey, this is real cool. Enjoyed it. Well done team. Love to join in.

Well done everyone 👏. I love Ashoken Farewell so I’m very sorry to have missed this one.

It's so beautiful.❤ I am crying 🥹 Thank you 💕🙏

TH-cam keeps sending me your music (along with Aimee Norris). The more I hear you the more I fall in love with your playing.

いちかいちか、あなたぬ。たむぬ、たむに、なきひつにおむいを、いつししるえめいつを、なつかしく、うむみなりし、なつかしき、わがえむいみわ、ついしつうけるよとうむう、きんぬ、ゆみにゆひににうつしいたをかなつゆよ、わたしによ、

Thank you for this! Super helpful

Very very nice! Lovely playing as always!

This is beautiful Carolyn, I LOVE listening to your playing and your beautiful cello. I saw the show in Victoria (Canada) last January. Makes it even more special.

Please make more shorts for us! Thank you 💙

Gorgeous! Evocative! Such a relaxed physicality while playing with such focused precision. As (an older) beginning cellist, I wonder about the technique 3/4 of the way into the piece (or so) that appeared to be something like double-stop harmonics or...? Thank you and the composer for adding beauty to our world.

Carolyn says that I have anything in my heart when I play... No... She is my inspiration...

***OVATION*** ***APPLAUSE*** So fabulous! Sitting here in Maine and turned this on for my husband and I to enjoy. Thank you so much for sharing! 👏👏👏👏👏 💜💜💜💜💜

Hauntingly beautiful and SO gorgeously played!

Carolyn, your phrasing and intonation are exquisite. I was following you with the n-Track Tuner on my iPhone. Beautiful lady, beautiful melancholy melody! I would rather hear a lovely melody any day, that all that meaningless flash and dazzle in a concerto or etude. Also, I am glad to see an accomplished 'cellist playing in "thumb position" without actually thumbing the string. OUCH! It hurts! 😯

Beautiful work, but not an easy piece to play!!😊

Sad and Beautiful music, I love it, BRAVO Carolyn

Mesmerizingly beautiful, the piece and your playing.

Mesmerizing.

Stunning playing Carolyn! Such a beautiful rendition of the piece. ❤❤❤

Do beautiful!

So impressive work... Thank you! The music reminds me the same title novel by D. Almond🪽

So beautiful. Thank you 🙏

Merci beaucoup pour ce partage, c’est vraiment très beau un peu hypnotisant cela fait du bien de vous écouter

Great! Wonderfully efficient. Thanks!

c'est une part de ma jeunesse ce morceau. il passait en fin de transmission des émissions sur antenne 2 si je me souviens bien.

ça c'est un beau thème, on sent le génie profond de Michel colombier. Il a aussi composé une sorte d'opéra "Wings". Génial.

Wonderful! Thank you for this. I like your motto, 'It's never too late to learn'.

This just might be the beautiful sound I’ve ever heard in my life. Thank you, it’s wonderful.

so beautiful! thank you

I’ve tried so much I can’t do this TT I don’t know why it looks so easy but I can’t copy it 😢😢
