    This upcoming school year i'm gonna start learning cello. I am super excidet about it and since i have still to wait like 3 weeks, i watch a bunch of cello tutorials and that stuff. I want to come prepared for my first lesson, and this video was the most useful (in my opinion) yet, so i watch it all the time. Thank you for taking your time to teach us how to start learning!

    @kyleenglot9184 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I came here because I had a curious interest in how a cello is played. I play guitar and it's not easy to learn at first. But the guitar is more obvious due to having frets so you know exactly where to press down to get a specific note. For a classic string instrument such as violin, cello, viola and double bass... There are no frets and I admire the skill it must take and patience to truly know the entire workings and potential notes and tones to get out of your instrument by sheer playing by ear and feeling for the notes.

      An entry level cello can start from 300$ which i think is quiet affordable, obviously the quality is just decent and sometimes need little things to ne fixed to make it playable, but is always a first step, once you start learning how to play it and fine your skill you can always save money for a decent one (I know I come years late and I hope meanwhile you already had your hands and bow on a cello)

    • @evasaari838
      @evasaari838 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I would recommend to remember
      Bow hand
      Keep thinking that your arm is very relaxed(maybe more than when you play violin) and you move not just your hand but whole arm. Of course when you play very quickly your wrist will help but basically remember the whole arm. Then you get better sound and you arm doesn´t get tired so easily.
      Left hand
      Keep your thumb and second finger "together". It is easier to reach lower first or upper fourth finger when needed.
      I am a cello teacher(professional) and these two things are what I try to teach very early stage to my pupils.

    @1:15 Iif you're right of left handed you still bow with the right hand? That seems really weird, especially given cello's so symmetrical.

      Probably so all the bows are moving the same way in an orchestra, but it does seem backward to me as a lefty.

    • @blackbird4062
      @blackbird4062 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The violin can play higher pitches while the cello can reach lower pitches. I prefer the cello because the violin's pitch herts my ears.

    • @raige3073
      @raige3073 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think the cello's has a deeper sound while violin is more like a tenor range.

    • @pinkpandamiranda
      @pinkpandamiranda 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The violins' strings are, from highest to lowest, E, A, D, and G while the cellos' strings are, from highest to lowest, A, D, G, and C. The cello needs an end pin, or a sharp stick a the bottom to stabilize while playing, whereas the violin is placed underneath the chin to stabilize. The violin is much higher in pitch, like a soprano, and is used as the melody is most major orchestral pieces. The cello is more of a tenor, and can be used as either melody, harmony, or beat. Both are quite beautiful instruments, and are versatile, but as a cellist myself, the cello is the much more forgiving, down to earth, and gorgeous instrument to not only play, but to also listen to, and see in performances.
