- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Playing with a straight bow and beautiful sound can be achieved from the very outset of any cellist's training. Devote time to open string practice as shown in the video daily and you will quickly see fantastic results.
Julia Morneweg is a highly sought-after London cello teacher with an exceptional track record of student success. Her past and present students have held music scholarships at many of the most prestigious independent schools including St. Paul’s Boys School, Latymer, Alleyns, Francis Holland, Channing School, Sevenoaks and Hornsby House. She has given masterclasses and run workshops at institutions such as the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, the RCM Summer School, Enterprise Scotland and Tanglin Trust School in Singapore.
Her own performing career has seen her perform as a soloist and chamber musician at venues including the Purcell Room, St. John’s Smith Square, St. David’s Hall Cardiff, Zurich Tonhalle, Daning Theatre Shanghai and many others. She was a member of the Erato Piano Trio for twelve years and has performed as a guest with leading UK and European orchestras.
The break to her performance schedule enforced by the COVID-19 lockdown has finally enabled her to make this long-planned series of videos. Julia currently teaches students remotely via Zoom. Visit her website www.juliamorneweg.com for more information about lessons.

The last teacher I had to dump was because he kept harping on how my bow was crooked AT ANYTHING I PUT THE BOW TO. The guy had no instruction on how to correct this! Quite appalled at his scolding at me from only having 3 lessons from this dummy. The guy is a professional cellist that plays at a metro symphony. My take away on this is NO MATTER HOW MUCH of a yo yo ma or a Du Pre a cellist maybe some just can’t teach.

This is a second visit as I have noticed with my new bowing that it is at times not 90° to the strings. Now to practice...🍧🌹
Very valuable tip. I'll pay more attention to my arm !!!👏🏿❤🎶🌷
Thanks for this great lesson! I am new to the magical world of cello, and i would like to ask you, if you can make a similar video adding the arm modifications for all the other strings, especially for A......
Thanks in advance!
Your source of information is worth gold! Vielen Dank
Gonna add this to my practice. Even more on the a-string. Really having trouble to get that one in control, it has no mercy. When i record, the a-string sounds like similiar to a duck sometimes, especially if jump from c string to a. M-xmas!🎄
I have the same problem with the A string! Always sounds scratchy and just not beautiful…
@@joelleantonopoulos7774 Okay, i would recommend changing the A&D string to larsen soloist (medium) if you haven't. Bit expensive but worth every penny. They settle pretty fast and more you play with them better they sound. So don't beat yourself if you don't know the differece immediatly. They soften up nicely. Then do like 5min bowing excercise front of a mirror before practice. (long bows, right preassure etc..) This helped me and do the video excersice also! Have fun :D
The sound is soooo important
thank you so much this what I need now
is it possible to play with a wrist brace?
On the left hand, it's actually quite a good exercise! :-) On the right it's problematic and probably not conducive to recovery from whatever injury led you to wear the brace in the first place.
So clear ! Thank you so much !
Very good, thank you! Public school string teacher here. If you could use a mic next time, your videos will be even better.
I have this problem periodically on the A string. Great tutorial. 🌹
Thanks for this practical technical advice. This is my third week playing and this is a major problem. Excellent mechanics. Will let you know of my improvement.
Thank you so much for your feedback, Rick! I look forward to hearing how you're getting on. You can also check out my teaching content on Instagram @cello_julia - there is a useful right arm exercise featuring a lemon on there! :-))
@@juliamorneweg5416 Will do. Thanks.
This video has been a revelation, it is superb and can’t tell you how grateful I am. My bowing has now improved enormously. Easily the best bowing video I’ve seen. Thank you !!!
@@cathschofield7488 Thank you so much, Cath! I'm so glad it's helped you. Must produce a few more videos over Easter. Never enough hours in the day!
A great Christmas present.
