Yiur Tutorials are excellent . I have got more from the ways of your explaining the various aspects of learning to play the cello to its best effect. Thank you and keep up this good work.
Thank you for this video, good as always! :) However, I have a question related to "mistake #5" about hair bow contact point/area with strings. What about "rolling the bow" ("rolowanie smyczka" in polish), i.e. changing the angle of the bow and the area where hair bow are touching the strings as you move the bow from the frog (less flat hair) to the tip, where hair bow are more "flat"? This bowing technique is not uncommon in the European cello school, especially the Austrian one (Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien). You can see that this technique is used by many ("old school") cellist, like Daniil Shafran or you can see it very clearly and accurately on this video: th-cam.com/video/aLkoeCAKo3c/w-d-xo.html.
You can do so if you have enough skills. This is another level (Level Up). Same thing when we just start with bow on the string choosing middle part between bridge and fingerboard. As soon as you can control it you do level Up - using closer to fingerboard for softer sound , closer to bridge for stronger sound + applying the right speed of the bow. You’re absolutely correct, but this videos is for beginners who have difficulties with the bow hold :))
