Hello, I need your help , can I ask you a favour ( as a left-hander)can you play your cello on your right shoulder with your with hand in minus 1st position on the C string and tell me if it touches the pegs please. I cannot play the tradition way and want to know befrore I purchase.Thank you.
I love how one of the top 10 cello must-haves @ #6 is a cello.
Excellent video, Wendy! As a cellist who is about to graduate from a conservatory, I can confirm that these are must-haves. Another thing I would recommend for more advanced cellists is the CelloMind course (or something similar for mastering warm-ups). It is basically a left-hand focused textbook that has tons of intonation and warm-up exercises. It even comes with demonstrations on the website from young world-class cellists. You should definitely consider it because I find something like that to be so helpful! An alternative to the iPad is obviously any other tablet. Tablets are great for IMSLP in particular because you can simply download most music and draw on PDF's. There is also software that can turn the page for you in case you are interested in looking into that. Most tuners and metronomes are good just on the phone, but if a phone distracts you, there are some really good metronome/tuners. Peg dope is really handy if you find that your tuning pegs are not staying. Also, you should typically change your strings when the weather starts stabilizing in mid-spring. I love Kaplan rosin. It is a good alternative because it lasts a long time, comes in a convenient case, and is not too expensive given the quality. If anyone has any more recommendations, let us know! I love seeing comments and videos that help out cellists everywhere (new or experienced!)

What advice would you give a beginner with small hands? I am 60, and have been playing for 3 months and I have a terrible time with extensions thus far. My hands on piano, stretch about 1/4 inch short of an octave from pinkie to thumb. Is this just a matter of practice and something that can be overcome, or should I consider switching to a 3/4 size cello? My hands ache terribly after playing, my hands and fingers are not strong, but I am trying to build up strength in my fingers and hands. Any advice would be much appreciated. I do not want to give up. :)

@@carolann4087 I would recommend playing a 3/4 size cello! There is no difference with its sound, and sometimes it is less expensive than a full size. They also sell 7/8 cellos if I am not mistaken. The main reason that I would recommend this to you is that your hands ache terribly. If you notice that, I would say that you are doing more harm than good, and it is not worth the risk of getting hand cramps which could be permanent if you keep that up. I am so happy to hear that you are trying to build up the strength in your hands and that you are willing to persevere. I am also so happy that you picked up the cello recently - what a wonderful choice. Because you are building strength, there is no harm in considering a 3/4 or 7/8 size cello at all. The spacing is smaller yet the sound is the same. Thanks for reaching out, and feel free to reach out if you ever have any more questions about anything.

Out of curiosity an iPad is a must have for cellos. I can only think maybe it could be good for sheet music going digital instead of paper. But me and apple don't get along I always have a hard time with them. Well count me in watching it but I may not catch it live as it looks like it will be midnight when premieres. Happy Easter
I’m so glad I found your channel. I learned to play the cello in elementary and part of middle school. I stopped playing because I was afraid of getting bullied and I started getting into sports. Now I’m 33 yrs old and I had regretted for so long that I just stopped playing. I was very stupid lol now I been looking a school where I can go and learn again to play the cello. Thank you for your videos!

Hi Wendy, I'd love to see a video on how to choose the right strings for your cello! Thanks ☺️🎵
I really recommend a stand for your tablet/iPad...great for online lessons, videoing yourself and reading music from your tablet
Wendy, I played the cello for 10 yrs and took a 17 sabbatical to raise my family, and I'm getting back into it. I've missed playing and just got the drive back. I love your bow and finger technique practices. What suggestions do you have for me? I still have my cello, rock stops, new rosin, 2 bows, tuner, metronome...
Much Mahalos for the Cecilia Signature Formula Rosin tip. Its been a struggle to find rosin that works great in Hawaii. There's so much more grip now I can apply less weight to the strings and maintain a quality sound.
Great video:) Could you explain how to use iPad while playing the cello? How to write music in it?
My teacher also uses a combination of Suzuki and Essential Elements! Once your students are done with the first 2 books in Essential Elements, what you like to use next?
4:57 when I first started cello at 5, from elementary throughout high school and my adult career, i still use these books
Essential Elements was previously recommended for me. I live on the West Coast of Scotland and far from the madding crowd, so that travelling into/from Glasgow is a day out. EEfS has been a quantum leap in my understanding and practice. Vibrato for the uninitiated arrives in Book 3. 🌹🌹🌹

I'm surprised you don't have a tuner on your list! Thanks for this video. I just bought an Ipad Pro about a month ago and I would love a video about iPad apps. I'm already using ForScore but it probably has features I haven't found yet. For me, the ForScore tuner doesn't work with a crap so I use the Tonal Energy Tuner.
So funny that I came across this video, because I’ve been debating on getting a backup cello just in case I needed it, but didn’t because I wondered if it’s worth it. But now my cello (Bartok) is on an extended holiday (Luthier) for repairs for like three weeks and I’m going through withdrawals. 🥴 This is a good one to consider. I just might go for it. Thanks!

Oh, it's called a Stopper! I always called it a coaster. I haven't thought about this stuff since highschool.
I would probably get that book for my Tablet if I start playing. I haven't played since Highschool, and back then we didn't have internet. One problem I had learning to sight read was I would practice the stuff in the book, and then I'd have it memorized. With the internet I'm sure I can find more stuff to sight read.

Hi there. I love watching your videos. I’ve been learning so much, thanks. I’d like to know which app do you use on IPad.
Thanks Wendy for the really informative video! I do hope that you will do an "Apps for cello" video sometime. If you do that video though, could you please include some apps in your list that are available for Android? I know that you won't have as much expertise there but I don't currently use Apple products. As for the products in your video, I'm probably going to get myself a Manhasset music stand in the near future because my current flimsy foldable stand just isn't cutting it. We used Manhasset stands when I was in school but I never thought about getting one for home at all, partly because I assumed they were more expensive than they are. An idea that I had for another video would be to expand on your advice on what resources new cello players should use. The tip for the "Essential Elements" books is good because I think it is overwhelming figuring out where to get started. Myself, I'm relearning how to play cello after not playing for years and having trouble figuring out what learning material to use. I'm actually surprised how much I remember but eventually I'll probably need to get a tutor.

@@sexymanicou3403 I have never ever seen anyone play the with the scroll on their right shoulder at all and I don't even see why you would need to. Playing a cello requires someone to learn a certain degree of being ambidextrous since you need to use both hands. A left handed person would actually have an advantage over a right handed person because to play a cello you need the most dexterity in your left hand which you already have. The right hand just controls the bow. In addition, if you are planning to ever play with others, then having the scroll on the right side would be very awkward for someone playing to the right of you.

@@elangomattab @elangomattab Yes I have head it all before and have read almost a 43 comment, websites and threads, buy as a former violin player I am convinced that the cello ,like the violin (in my opinion) is righthanded (I. my opinion) for one example when it comes to writing changed on a music sheet in an ensemble I always have to wrest down the instrument pick up a pencil write, put down and back up the instrument, whilst a r-handed player simple pick up a pencil( bow down or not) and change their fingering with ease. for that and many other 'dis-comfortable' reasons I cease play at grade 5-6 ABRSM. Mr. elangomattab, I want to buy a cello ( tradition) and play it on my right should, hence me asking you: If you were to play your cello on your right shoulder; while you hand is in negative 1st position on the string if your hand will touch the pegs when playing , please. 'an individual (me) who stop music and want to continue on another instrument will like to know''.

@theDUBMARK

Hi Joel! Those brass pieces that you see on the G string towards the tailpiece is a Wolf-Tone Eliminator. Sometimes a couple of notes will be very "wobbly" on a cello, and that the brass piece does is it eliminates that issue by redistributing the weight on the string. Sometimes it's tough to eliminate. You can look into it more if you find the concept interesting because some people actually put a round weight on the surface of the cello (below the f-holes) to eliminate the Wolf (wobbly sound). Wolf notes tend to be in 3rd/4th position on the G string or 1st position on the D string (typically either Eb, E, F, or F# below middle C).

What cello brand is the best
I only have one question, do u recommend getting fine-tune pegs, like wittner, especially for beginners?
I have never tried that brand rosin before. If I get it, will it make me play like you?♥️🙏 I wish! Hahaha ✌️ I will try it. 🤔🎵🙂 Thanks♥️ Also, a tuner/metronome and one of those clippy things that go on the bridge while tuning. I have a Korg TM-40 tuner, it's inexpensive but indestructible. 👍
Could you review a electric cello 😅
Could you recommend those small-bottled alcohol to help clean off the rosin on the strings (I know they are not to be used often, but once in a while)
Could you please recommend the best peg stopper/compund for slippery pegs? My pegs don't stay in place, resulting in constant adjustments in order to keep my cello tuned. I'm a novice with a Cecilio student cello.
