Basically every instrument. But, once in a while there is some 5 minutes where you can touch anything blindfolded and you feel like the next best musician to ever born on the planet. Those 5min are gold.
As a cellist I find this very relatable! It’s the ‘where is my music?’ For me lol. Or when you practice for a while, you can’t get it right, your bowing arm starts to hurt, and then you just get up to ‘take a break’ and you forget to put your cello back into its case.
@@Mochi_VAL I think cellos prefer life in a case because the humidity is it's enemy and they can be nice and cozy and protected in there. They like to come out and play often though :)
Likely situation: You finish practice. You are a bit tired. You place the cello beside you on the floor sideways, thinking ‘I’ll put it away later.’ A week passes. You trip.
@@eternally1276 Why are you so snooty? They literally just forgot to put their cello away, no big deal😭 And as long as their cello wasn't irreparably damaged, it doesn't really matter. I'm pretty sure I've tripped over a cello before and it only went out of tune🤣
@@kirafinucane7264 But a real cellist would never just forget to put a $6000+ delicate thing away. Would you just forget and leave your car out unlocked in a dangerous neighborhood?
I've been playing piano for years, I bought my first cello at a music store this morning..my fingers hurt. I love videos like this showing how beautiful it sounds,it keeps me motivated
I started learning an instrument at a reasonable age (6) and my mother used to claim that it would "help to release stress and to relax". Well, no. Practicing can be so very annoying and adds to the stress (most of the time). Still, I hope I will make time to learn another instrument in the future.
You have this so Dead on ! however, you should add what it is like practicing after a long hard day of work and trying to stay focused. High marks. Thank you !
Beginner here. When everyone in the house suddenly finds an excuse to go outside for a walk, to the store, put on on headphones, play ping-pong in the basement - anything to get as far away as possible. Then, you know you are truly practicing. Sometimes the cat comes in and listens. What a friend.
My mother was a violinist with perfect pitch and had an amazing repertoire in her head. She could often hear a piece on piano and play it on violin without music. She told me that you don’t practice what you know, you practice what you don’t know.
I just practiced and let me tell you how it went down: scales, attempting to play Dvorak that’s above my skill level, and nearly crying as I try to fight 3 (and possibly a 4th) wolf tones because apparently my cello is a wolf breading ground. definitely not graceful 😅
I'm taking a quick break from my violin practice and omg is the intonation issue so true! "It sounds off. But, like... Why? I swear... Are my fingers in the right spots? I've played this song a hundred times!"
You’ll know any musician is mad when you hear an onslaught of horribly played notes. String instruments are such a pain sometimes and I just go off on my violin. Except singers. I think they’d just scream
Canon in D ... that was bad enough. But then you had a beverage hanging over the cello like you were so sure it wouldn't spill... 😱🫣😖 omg stawp! 🤣 But yes, that's a very accurate portrayal of a practice session 👏
I myself did not have a traditional start of beginning very young and weekly lessons. I started at 11 had first private lesson at 14 and didnt have regular weekly lessons until I was a cello major in college at 19. @adultcello started at age 25 from scratch and talks all the time about that journey and has great content for adult beginners. Same with Jonathan @cellocoach If you have a desire and you have a cello you are good to go.
@@thecelloonline I honestly don't have a cello, YET. I'm either going to save or dip into savings. Thank you for having your channel. Your shorts inspire me.
❤ First I would absolutely love the Opportunity to even touch and practice and play with a cello. It is One of my favorite string instruments. Second technique it would be A help but reading music is pointless for me as I play by ear And never learn how to read music. By this point I read the simplest things like mary Had a little lamb. Since I have the ability to play by year if I seem to understand Is the mechanics of how the literal instrument works?I just mess around to teach myself how to play things. I never had beginning an intermediate band in Junior high but did try out in high school Without knowing how to read music.But my talent got me in. Band and chorus were the best things in life
I wholeheartedly agree As an ex-violinist(intermediate) and a classical guitarist(intermediate), I've always wanted to play that fat cello. Bought a 3/4-sized for my 11-year-old, but she ignored it, so I'm trying to play it now I've no problem with fingerings except couldn't get the pitch accurately (like your intro), so I get you, bro. Playin Cello is a hard, hard life, but once you're in it, you just want to keep going like a fool while disturbing everyone
As a saxophonist in a 7th-grade band, people think I’m playing stuff like our school’s fight song; no. I’m playing Wizards in Winter and Santa the Barbarian and the Pirates of the North Pole 🥲
I remember when my sister would practice cello at night, I could hear her screaming and crying in pain as she was developing the callouses on her fingers.
Literally practicing The Swan right now! (Probably should be getting back to that..) I sound like the second one because my shifting skills aren’t very good. Great video!
Ah yes, canon in d. Every cellists favorite piece.
played it so many times in local music school orchestra and then also in school I'm so tired of playing it
Ikr
such a boring piece, hate playing it
It’s a really good song
I can see why you would love playing the same thing for 54 measures
Basically every instrument.
But, once in a while there is some 5 minutes where you can touch anything blindfolded and you feel like the next best musician to ever born on the planet.
Those 5min are gold.
omg so true
FRR
YEEESSSS
egg
*5 seconds for me
As a cellist, I literally flinched when I heard Canon in D 😭
Jumpscare :(
ptsd
We do play it a lot don't we, to the point of being triggered. 🤣
I feel you. Respect ✊

My poor cello downstairs right now not in it's case 😐.... YOU JUST REMINDED ME!

You and another commenter reminded me where my cello is (and more importantly where it is not!) right now,, whoops!!
No true cellist would forget to put their cello away let alone trop
One thing that I never do with violin

That repetition is fundamental is something most non-musicians don't understand. I'm sooo glad my hubby is also a musician!
Well said!!
Muscle memory, it doesn't happen by accident, does it ?
Just picked the cello up again after two years and all my family wants to hear is canon D 😂
Love it.
💀
Surprise them with the opening bars to "Enter Sandman" or "Mr. Krinkle" by Primus
Give 'em the Chicken Dance.
Pachebel wrote the first 8 measures of the cello part of Canon in D...and then DIED ~Stephen Sharp Nelson
Canon in D only became popular after someone dug it up about a hundred years after he died.
My pencils often go missing - and I don’t have a child to blame😂😂!!
Same!!
I finally invested in a holder at the beginning of this school year. And it has a place for my charging cords!
As a amateur cellist (not a good one) this is so relatable
Also, grinding away endless scales and arpeggios. Violinist here.
octaves
I lost like ten pencils and just found all of them on the top part of my violin case lol
I've been playing piano for years, I bought my first cello at a music store this morning..my fingers hurt.
I love videos like this showing how beautiful it sounds,it keeps me motivated
So relatable. Everyone expects me to be this good on cello cause ive done it for 1.5 years
As a new cello student, I appreciate this video, soooo much. Omg
As a cellist myself,this is very relatable. I tould my friend I was learning how to play Rush-E and they thought I got on my first try.
As a cello player, I can relate to this
This makes me feel 10x better! 😂 Thank you for this!
I've been learning the cello for the last 4 months and it is a challenge every day!
I started learning an instrument at a reasonable age (6) and my mother used to claim that it would "help to release stress and to relax". Well, no. Practicing can be so very annoying and adds to the stress (most of the time).
Still, I hope I will make time to learn another instrument in the future.
The amount of flashbacks you have sent me to remember is uncountable. Excellent job. Very relatable.
Yes, I understand completely
I remember playing Pachelbel Canon on the viola in the fourth grade in our orchestra concert. It was beautiful!
It really is a great piece. Its one of those classics that never gets played because its "over played"
The pencil going missing everytime is so relatable. 😭
THANK you. And the pencil...the missing pencil EVERY. single. time.
Still practicing, even tho having several breakdowns but it is what it is.
No cellist like playing canon in D , 8 Bars on repeat
Wh- Whhat are you talking about... Canon i-in D is beautiful-
Facts
@@lirong0827 the cello part is the same 8 quarter notes over and over again
@@chesswithlatios4277 Lol ik I'm a cellist. It was sarcasm
You have this so Dead on ! however, you should add what it is like practicing after a long hard day of work and trying to stay focused. High marks. Thank you !
my mum was a proffessional viola player and this applied to her. I was amazed that she sounded so rough when practicing.
I love playing the cello and practicing it’s so calming I have been playing for two years now I’m in 7th grade
This is very relieving, cause I just started and that is literally me the whole time trying to figure out random songs.😭😭💯
Beginner here. When everyone in the house suddenly finds an excuse to go outside for a walk, to the store, put on on headphones, play ping-pong in the basement - anything to get as far away as possible. Then, you know you are truly practicing. Sometimes the cat comes in and listens. What a friend.
My mother was a violinist with perfect pitch and had an amazing repertoire in her head. She could often hear a piece on piano and play it on violin without music.
She told me that you don’t practice what you know, you practice what you don’t know.
“Where’s my music” is too accurate. Pain of memorizing your piece and then forgetting one note.
I just practiced and let me tell you how it went down: scales, attempting to play Dvorak that’s above my skill level, and nearly crying as I try to fight 3 (and possibly a 4th) wolf tones because apparently my cello is a wolf breading ground.
definitely not graceful 😅
I'm taking a quick break from my violin practice and omg is the intonation issue so true! "It sounds off. But, like... Why? I swear... Are my fingers in the right spots? I've played this song a hundred times!"
This is soooo true!!!! I play the cello and this is how I feel all the time
Cello is the best instrument, prove me wrong
I'm not bias, just because I play the cello doesn't make me biased
As a Cellist❤❤❤ this is so TRUE❤❤😂😂😂😂!!!!
You’ll know any musician is mad when you hear an onslaught of horribly played notes. String instruments are such a pain sometimes and I just go off on my violin.
Except singers. I think they’d just scream
Practicing while watching a movie is fun!
I must try this!
When he said "so relaxing"
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
The lost music and pencil thing is 👌. And unstable, unpredictable music stands that could fall over at the tap of a finger
Pencils all gone from.stabbing ears after the Canon
I play the cello and I 100% agree. But this also goes for any other instrument.
Fax. As a cellist this is straight facts.
I have developed a frown line between my eyebrows just from struggling over two bars.
The sound of the open D against the high note from the Swan gave me vietnam flashbacks 💀
Love ❤️ this!! 😂😊
It's true tho😂😂😂 I'm littlerly frustrated on A major scale and this is actually how practicing cello is like
What about the scale is giving you trouble?
So relatable 😂 I just changed all the strings on mine and struggled to get the C string to sound right for a solid 20 minutes, still couldn't get it
this very accurate to all musician
As a starting cellist this is extremely validating 😂
No the correct thing is cannon d ( the slow part) what it’s actualy like cannon d( the like 10 measures of 16th notes)
Canon in D ... that was bad enough. But then you had a beverage hanging over the cello like you were so sure it wouldn't spill... 😱🫣😖 omg stawp! 🤣
But yes, that's a very accurate portrayal of a practice session 👏
It's been heavy on my heart to learn the cello for 20 years now.
It’s never too late. Seriously don’t be afraid to start.
@@thecelloonline Thank you for that ❤️

Oh my goodness, the Swan, right in the feels 😭😅
So beautiful, but so difficult to succeed beautifully...
That sigh hits home.
why is this SOoo relatable
Wow sounds great
I felt this. In. My soul. Especially the pencils. I don't have a 2 year old. I'm just forgetful.
The squeaks when playing on your own are frustrating especially since I’m a beginner
When you can’t find the notes higher up so you have to find a video of someone playing the piece to understand 😭 probably just me
but i'm really loving it. omg, i get so giddy when i get it right
Pachelbel's Cannon in D is one reason I got a looper for my cello. We all hate it xD
Totally agree!
I wholeheartedly agree
As an ex-violinist(intermediate) and a classical guitarist(intermediate), I've always wanted to play that fat cello. Bought a 3/4-sized for my 11-year-old, but she ignored it, so I'm trying to play it now

My friend only picked it up because of Wednesday and now she won't stop complaining to me that she wants to quit and that it's so hard 😱😭😵😡
Yesss!! I play cello and that is definitely how we practice🤣
From my experience, the type of people who'd think we practice like this, don't even know what a cello is in the first place...
Exactly what it is like for me when I practice my cello at home
Ah a correctly filmed cello practice session, it’s always a little hard to get all the notes in tune, especially 4th position or higher
The Swan part, especially fitting, considering that's how I am practicing it😅
NEVER EVER seen something nearly as accurate as this
Thank you!
so glad it's not just me
As someone who plays the cello this is so accurate
This is what its like to practice any instrument. 3hrs of excercises for every 30 minutes of song play.
That is soo true, also as a cellist, I've had a bit of this experience, but once you practice enough, you'll soon get it right. Hehehe maybe.
Canon in d yes, Very relaxing
My friend was a cellist, and I was a violinist in our school orchestra
So.. it's still sounds good
So relatable! I play it
As a saxophonist in a 7th-grade band, people think I’m playing stuff like our school’s fight song; no. I’m playing Wizards in Winter and Santa the Barbarian and the Pirates of the North Pole 🥲
I remember when my sister would practice cello at night, I could hear her screaming and crying in pain as she was developing the callouses on her fingers.
As a cellist myself canon d is just something else 😅
As a pianist/organist, I was horrified when I ran out of pencils at rehearsal yesterday 😂! The struggle is real!!
Canon in Divorce if you play that at my wedding
When I heard relaxing I was like “Yeah no, that’s definitely a lie”
As someone who plays the cello this is so relatable 😭😭
As a cello player, this is literally all my practice sessions 😭😭😭
The pencils! Same goes with my sister
I can totally relate to that 😂
You forgot the mental breakdowns in between because your concert is tommorow and you have procrastinated
I´m a beginner lvl cellist....and there are days... when practicing you feel like you´ve never practiced before .....
For real I always just give up... 😅
I practice cello as a hobby and IT'S TOTALLY TRUE😂
Literally practicing The Swan right now! (Probably should be getting back to that..) I sound like the second one because my shifting skills aren’t very good. Great video!
I’ve only been playing in a school program for like 2 years and I’m pretty bad so I don’t entirely understand, but it is hard and opposite of relaxing
YES so relatable 😂 so true canon in d every cellist loves it 😂
How true.
