Sarah, I'm 64, and I have to say you are the most pleasant music teacher & person I have ever seen. Sincerely Dan, founder of BLI music, Mercer Island Washginton.
In addition to rewinding the video you can also slow the video down to as low as quarter speed without changing the pitch. Click the gear on the bottom right. Then click speed.
I'm appreciating all of these that rely on ear since I still cannot read music...! Your instructions are clear and I always just rewind, as expected, if I need to review it again.
I would like to learn Cello... At the moment I play flute since 4 years and Ukulele since 10 years. I love the sound of Cello. I'm 59 years old. 😊 It's time to live all dreams.
Sarah! I love all of your covers and tutorials. This one was so helpful and I was able to play it thanks to you!!! Could you make a tutorial on the acoustic version that you have played before whenever you have the time pleeease?
Thank you so much for this. I just started playing the cello 3 days ago (aged 36!) and this is the first piece I've played. I transposed it up a 5th though as my sound on the C string is ick. So excited to try your other tutorials. Love your playing and you are a great teacher! Thank you xx
Thanks! This is one of the songs my daughter has been wanting me to play. She's obsessed with Disney Princesses right now. By the way you mentioned the area you were playing was pretty warm causing your Cello to try and go flat? Ive notice the dark rosin I purchased last November has been problematic. Could it be the heat? Should I switch to light rosin for warmer months?
Hey! I love your videos and have a tutorial idea: Picking up another string instrument. I am a violinist who is looking to pick up the cello while still being a violinist. I notice you have a double bass in the background and you have played a violin in past videos. I would really love if you make a video or even just respond to my comment. Also your videos really help me be calm and also inspire me to play with more feeling. Thank you so much! :)
Cool, the tab version of teaching. I think I'll stick around and learn something. - Thanks. For record. Your third finger position is the E, which is the 4th semitone of the C string, so.... you have tape on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th semitones of the strings and skipped the C#? Or have I got that wrong? (Sorry I'm a guitarist; new to this blank fretboard thing)
Yes. When putting tape, you usually jump one tune/whole note for the first tape. Like, if you're marking the A string, you put your mark on the B note, not on the A#. I probably sound confusing af, but oh well lol
This video made me happy and then very sad. I'm new to cello about only two months. This is the first time I've seen this piece in first position ( I don't know any other positions yet) after watching once I thought I could do it. Then I thought ok I'm going to write it down as you go through it, however you kept mixing up your notation explanations i.e. G3, G4 sometimes and then B, C other times. I was completely lost as sometimes as you were just renaming the notes you just described in another way and sometimes adding new notes to the phrase. Then in some phrases you said this is just like the beginning except blah blah, then you play it without any reference to notation at all. Can you or someone else tell me where I can find the sheet music for this that only uses first position? I know the point of your video was to learn by ear, and that may work for me in a year or two, but now I'm just sad 😥 Update: 3 weeks later, I couldn't leave this one alone I really wanted to learn it. So I came back and watched slowly repeating each section over and over until I had it. Thank you so much Sarah I've got it now... well sort of. Now I'll just need to practice it a few hundred times. :) I think I'm glad I had to work for it, I think I learned more by having to struggle through.
would it be possible if you could release a video of what this song is supposed to sound like complete? im having a hard t ime understanding the order of things and i think it would be helpful if i could listn to it all together :'(
My cello always wants to go flat. So flat the string loses its tension entirely lol. I don't know whether it's because it's a build-your-own kind of beginner cello, but I've more or less replaced the pegs with sticks of resin with how much I've put on, and it still entirely detuned itself every half hour or so
Hi! I’m really interested in playing this piece...but I would like to know which one of the sites you used below in the description was the one used in the video!😭
Would you do a Tutorial on how to play "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran :) :D I've been wanting to learn this since before I got my cello! I love your videos and how you break everything down :)
th-cam.com/video/hgFyEg1c8kQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SC-dicFqlZ5GJxwx Could you please help me to find the name of the composition of the cello solo played in this video...awaiting for the reply
It's somewhat confusing when you say which number finger on what string, I would rather you say the name of the note, ie E G B C F... instead of 3rd finger on C, open G, 3rd on G, 4th on G and 4th on C, etc.

your voice is an instrument in itself..the tone of your voice complements the tone of the cello incredibly well :)

Thank you Sarah, this is very useful to me.🙂🌷
Thanks for the tutorial.. it´s a great help for beginners :)
Hey! I love your videos and have a tutorial idea: Picking up another string instrument. I am a violinist who is looking to pick up the cello while still being a violinist. I notice you have a double bass in the background and you have played a violin in past videos. I would really love if you make a video or even just respond to my comment. Also your videos really help me be calm and also inspire me to play with more feeling. Thank you so much! :)
Came to this channel for the exactly same reasons! :D
Sophia D. Winter , i play violin too and thinking about picking up a cello. How i ur cello journey?
Thank you so much 💪🏼

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS :)

Guess you went from key of C to G since you added the F# or was that just a addition within a measure?
You are my hero.
Can you play the first phrase in 3rd position? Easier to get more strength and tone while crossing strings???
thank you so much for this
i love you
Inspirational thank you. May I ask what brand/model is this cello (and strings). It sounds so much better than my student one. Thanks
Thanks so much!
Thank you sarah I'm 10 and I've learned a lot from you

Youre cute
I came here to learn how to play cello not to fall in love >:(
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
It's somewhat confusing when you say which number finger on what string, I would rather you say the name of the note, ie E G B C F... instead of 3rd finger on C, open G, 3rd on G, 4th on G and 4th on C, etc.
If you are playing f natural don't say "two fingers on D" say f natural!
