- Shifting is tricky, especially for beginners. I did my best to give the basics, and simplify it a bit. This video also includes some handy exercises. Hope it helps!!

Thanks for adding the slow motion part. It really helps a non-string expert understand what's going on. Well done!
Oh good! I thought that might help. :)
Great exercise, can’t wait to try it!
You got great content. Thank you so much Sarah. Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬
Thank you!! This really helped me!!
You, sooooo inspire me to play cello.
I love your channel
- thank you x
Your sound is exquisite! And thank you for all the tips,. it has been really helpful!
thanks for sharing this! I really love your support. I love the cello, but I am a bloody beginner :-) many thanks and loads of hugs. Marion
This was so helpful thank you !
Glad it could help!
Thanks so much! I’m learning Le Cygnet on a cello, and all the shifts are getting difficult for me. This helps a lot! ❤
That’s such an enjoyable piece to learn! I’m glad my video was able to help. :)
Thank you for the slow motion example it helped me a lot
Great!! So happy to help. :)
I just started cello 3 days ago, thanks for posting this!
Lol, I think it's a bit early to start practicing shifting if you started 3 days ago. You still have to develop your finger muscles and get used to where the notes are on the top of the fingerboard before you start venturing lower to the higher positions
Thanks for the tips!! :D
+Vitu no problem! :)
Awesome this is very helpful :) much thanks
+Harvey Bunda Of course!! Glad it can help.
Hi Sarah! I discovered your channel today looking for a cure to that pesky bow shrieking. I am really enjoying learning getting advice from you and just wanted to say thank you. Cheers!
I hope you find the answers you're looking for! :)
I've tried to concentrate on my elbow when shifting. It has helped to make the shift more relaxed. In addition it makes it more natural and smooth shift imo. This is great tutorial, especially the supporting finger theory. Its hard to achieve absolute purity and pitch but after 1000 correct repeats it should be okay :D
Haha After 1,000 correct repeats, I do hope you take some time to rest and stretch!
I like when u are using the tapes they help better see where ur fingers are heading. Can u make a video on what positions are and how,they are used. Are the positions located on the fingerboard or the scale being used?Ty!
Thank you for the video. When you are shifting from the B in first position, are you shifting to the D (third finger) in the video?
This is a most helpful video. This will sound silly but I began playing guitar before age 5 and I wish I had discovered the cello first. Compared to one of the string instruments, playing the guitar is kind of like pushing buttons - frets make it so much easier. Consequently, I never developed the confidence and trust in myself to move my hand 18 inches on a slab of ebony and expect it to be in tune. PS: I don't mean to snoop but I have the same cello stand as you. In Los Angeles we have earthquakes and I feel my cello is safe on that stand. I recently bought one for my guitar but now they have stopped carrying them in our music stores. Greg
+Dorky White Guy Guitar certainly still has it's challenges though!! I am currently trying to learn it, and feeling fairly unsuccessful. I'm not very good at keeping rhythm, so strumming is a bit difficult. Lol I really like my cello stand! I wish I could get another one for my electric cello.
Hi Sarah:) Watching your videos is really helping me learn cello by myself. I have a question for you for this video, though. When DO you use thumb position? And do you really use it from the 1 of 4th position?
How do I move from the 1st position on the D string to 3rd position on the A string, for example?
Did you know you can use an orange 🍊 instead of fingers on the cello.
+Gell Sutcliff I feel like.... mm.. this might not work.
hater
If you don't know, he's referencing a video put out by the London Philharmonic where the cellist plays with an orange.
Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie it was actually really hilarious😂
Matthew Foy he is not a hater, he is just referring to a video.
Hi Sarah! Thank you for all your help with your videos, you are so talented! I'm a braaannddd new beginner and this is a basic question I know, but when I transition to other notes, the strings always screech... I get a pretty good sound just playing one single note at a time though. Any advice?
+Meg Fritz well, it's hard to say without seeing you play, but my guess is that your bow hand is reacting to your left hand. This means that at every note change, your bow hand is tensing. It could also be caused by a crooked bow, skidding, etc.. my guess though is that you're just squeezing and putting to much pressure.
Hi Sarah! I love your videos and it's very helpful!! I also play a cello and I'm playing YMCA but I don't know how to shift. Could you make a tutorial video for YMCA? It would be very helpful! Love you a lot!❤️
OK I"m 70 and starting the cello for a new life challenge. Great information for position exercises. Question: I'm working with a cello essentials booklet and struggle with shifting from position 1 to 3 with string of quarter notes in each measure (estimate 80 speed). I can't figure out how to shift that quickly and I don't believe sliding will work as you demonstrated. When I go from 1st to 4th, I've trained my hand to hit the body and my fingers hit the correct 4th position, so that works with a practice string of quarter notes. Any suggestions to solve my conundrum are deeply appreciated....
Hi maam can i ask? How to have a good intonation in cello
Do you have, or do you think you could make a video about reading notes? This video is super helpful by the way, I love your channel❤️
+Jessica Khaw if may go ahead and do that :)
+Jessica Khaw and actually here, this should help: th-cam.com/video/9XUiGV7jTjs/w-d-xo.html
+Sarah Joy thank you so much, you're videos are super helpful!!! You're so talented ❤️
Hi thanks for the video, i was hoping to know when is the right time to shift, or just go to the next string?
Oh gosh, to very difficult to explain without a specific example. It depends on whether you want an open string sound, how quickly the passage is going, what notes follow that specific passage...
*it's
can you do a video on switching from bass class to tener cleff?
I think I have a video on tenor clef, but nothing on the actual transition. Hopefully what I already have can help.
may I know what brand of strings you are using on your cello? bcoz yours sound so good whereas mine is not. the strings i am using are the ones that goes with the cello.. id like to know what brand should i get should i change the strings.. thank you..
On this cello, I have Larson for A and D and Bel Canto for G and C.
thank you..
Perfect! Congratulations! Do you like Tina Guo?
+Smith Hipnólogo I do! I follow her on Instagram.
Do you have any music you would recommend for shifting beginners
Suzuki books 2 and 3 introduce 2nd, 3rd, and 4th positions. :)
🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🌹
If you were shifting to 1st position to 4th position, would you still skid your finger on the string or pick it up and move it to 4th?
You want your fingers to stay as connected as possible during shifting.
Videos are very helpful I'm sixteen and wondering if it's too late to learn I have double bass experience for two years
+Damion Malloy Not too late! However, you will have a bit of catching up to do if you're thinking about playing professionally. It is possible though!!
Why the vibrato, when this video has to do with shifting?
vibrato is just a normal thing to do when playing
Your cello is much louder than your voice. So when I keep a tolerable volume of your cello I cannot hear you well. I am watching this video on my desktop.
If you can balance the sound it would be great !. Many thanks for the nice video
EEEEKKKKKK
istg it hurt so bad it’s like u almost got a paper cut😭
Thank you!! This really helped me!!
