8 Reasons You should be playing the Cello - consordini.com/reasons-to-pla...
Cello basics include, cello sitting positions, how to hold a cello bow, how to hold a cello, how to keep cello pegs from slipping and more.
We discuss everything you need to know to get started.
My experience with the cello is extensive and I want to help other people fall in love with playing this instrument.
Viewing this video will give you the information that you need to get started and do well at playing the cello.
The Basics
After you purchase your cello, whether you buy used, new or rent one, you will have a few more basic items that you will need to be successful.
A comfortable sitting position ( a chair), good rosin and how to hold your bow.
The Questions
As a new cello player, you likely have a lot of questions, that you may be afraid to ask.
Our cello for dummies video will address all those questions that you are uncomfortable asking like how to hold the cello bow and the proper cello comfort sit position.
With a little help from this tutorial you will gain the confidence that you need to really apply yourself to cello playing.
You do not have to worry about asking those uncomfortable questions that identify you as a brand-new player, they will be addressed in this video.
In this video we discuss all the basics to ensure that you get a great start in your instruction.
We even help you to pick out the best cello chair for your play and practice positions.
After reviewing this video, you will be able to learn cello with confidence because you will know all the basics.
Taking Care of Your Cello
Learning to play the cello is not simply learning how to hold a bow properly and finger placement.
You will also need to learn how to take care of your cello. We cover that too by discussing the proper way of applying rosin to a new bow.
The goal of this video is to help you gain the confidence that you need to get what you want from your cello lessons.
We discuss everything from cello rosin to proper bow positioning. This tutorial is going to give you the head start that you need!
Give Yourself an Edge
As a beginner you should take advantage of every opportunity to learn what you can about playing the cello.
This tutorial will help you to gather the information that you need to get more out of practice sessions and lessons. Enjoy the video and leave your comments in the section below!

I am 58 and have decided to start playing the cello as achallenge to myself! I have a neuro problem affecting my arms and hands and cannot feel properly but refuse to give up. I am not sure how it will get on but i loved the fact that in the video the position of the hand/bow/cello is pretty much how my hand is normally! Let the adventure begin (tho not sure if my cat will like it!!)

Hi! I'm 55 years old and have a relatively inexpensive electric cello on order. I have ZERO experience on stringed instruments. When I was a kid, I was intrigued with the cello, but started on trumpet in sixth grade. I did badly on trumpet and moved to the euphonium (baritone), in ninth grade through 2 years of college and did pretty well. During those years much of the music I played was originally written for bassoon or cello. A lot of baroque stuff by Bach, Telemann, etc... So this has always been kind of a "bucket list" thing for me, to learn cello. At least the simpler music for my own entertainment. Corona virus is now keeping a lot of us home and bored so this is a great chance for me to put my idle time to good use. Wish me luck!

At the moment due to refurbishement and my hands being quite bad the cello has ad to go in the loft, as not enough room and t could get damaged, but it will come out again after February. I wont give up. Thank you for asking

My husband is just amazing, he bought me a cello! It's my favorite instrument and he saw how excited I was about the idea of learning to play. So he bought me a nice beginners cello and told me to find a teacher so I can have some "me" time, (aka - break from 4 kids 5 and under) I was so floored by the gesture. I'm glad I found this video, as I have never held a Cello a day in my life! I can't wait to get started! Thanks for the video, I will be looking for more.

Sad your company doesn’t create a section just for « cello ». When I go on the KZfaq site I must hunt for the cello videos and it is difficult to find them. Yes! There are people who like the way you teach! Thank you!😊 P.S. I’m 68. Played for the church for a year. Plan on going back because my granddaughter wants to learn to play. I also taught myself piano and organ. My first song believe it or not, was Chopins wWaltz in C# Minor. Was always told sharps were difficult so I learned a song phrase by phrase until I learned ! I’m a very good sight reader☺️👍

I don't own a cello my but ever since I was 14 I always wanted a cello. To me a cello seems like a sophisticated instrument but eventually I had a guitar (still bad at it). For awhile I kinda forgotten about cellos and was intrigued with guitars instead the further I try to master them. Until then, my interests of cellos have returned and I still yearned of either renting one or buying one (or make it from scrap even though I'm no carpenter) and I rather have the electric cello👍

My autistic son with severe speech delays calls it a"floor fiddle" because he cant get the "ch" sound out correctly. In the past month, we have had three different cellist play at church and each time, he is moved to tears. Now, hewants to learn it. Since we homeschool, it means that I, too need to learn. My husband, a guitarist, also now wants to learn. When you said, "older people", it really hit home. My husband and I are both 37 and we will be teaching a 12 year old. Now, we just need to find a place to rent at least one. Around here, if it's not played at halftime on a football field, you cant rent it.

Hello. I am 35 and I decided to start playing the cello. I studies a music conservatory before (oh, another instrument :-D) and my hands are little bit accommodated to it (my wrist stands differently than others etc). I can find out whether the hair should be placed on a string flat while plaing or whether it can be little turned out (playing more by the edge of the hair). When I try playing flat, m wrist is very uncomfortable and looks like broken. Can please anyone help? Thank you!

Can you supply a link for the cello rosin? I looked through your description and a lot of comments and couldn’t seem to find it. I am just going to start learning as soon as I can pick up my rental but I want to be prepared. PS I live in the San Fernando Valley.

Hi, thank you for this video. I love the cello. I want to learn to play it but I have tremors in my hands. There are a few music pieces I really want to learn to play. I really need a teacher. Do you teach over Webex? How much would you charge? What are the fees like out there? Should I invest in a cheaper cello or do you think I should rent one? They could be pretty pricey to rent.

I'm fourteen and I am finally getting lessons on how to play the cello! My mom played cello during her high school years and got a scholarship for cello to go to college. That inspired me and now I'm gonna play cello! Thank you Mr. Leopard!

I enjoy your presentations but did I understand you in saying the cello bridge was made of "balsa wood?"

Mostly very useful and informative so far, but at about 4:30 in I found myself wondering what sort of tree “balsam wood” comes from and why your cello bridge was made of it. I have yet to meet a fiddle family bowed instrument whose bridge wasn’t made of maple- it’s a fine grained wood with pretty high strength in compression, and allows a fairly thin cross section to transmit lots of energy to the spruce top of the instrument. Also, I’ve used a number of square and rectangular cakes of rosin, and it is entirely possible to rotate those to various angles while applying so as to avoid developing a groove in the middle. I like the idea of a circular cake, though, and may look for one of those if I ever go through enough rosin to need more.

Guitar string sets are made up of 3 wound - 3plain steel OR 4 wound - 2 plain steel depending on the set diameters. Ive have played electric bass for a long time and I'm interested in Cello . I'm having trouble finding instruments better then the $200 specials and decent ones under $1000. Most of the " Student models " are way over $2000. In my area it seems that string shops are geared towards rentals and high end nothing to choose up to $1000

I’m 14 and i’m aiming to start to learn the cello, with a teacher, in a few months. I want to enter a music college (you start college at the age of 16/17 in the UK) and the college I want to go to requires an audition where you play your instrument. I already play the guitar; i’ve had a facination with the cello and just orchestra instruments as a whole. Do you think ,with daily practice, I will be skilled enough to be accepted into the college? I was just wondering if 2 years of learning could give me a decent amount of chance and skill.

Jon Ken I think you could pull it off! Most music colleges require decent knowledge in music theory aswell, so if you’re educated in that aspect then the possibility is higher. So I would definitely give it a shot and apply to the college you want to go to, especially if you want to do music as a career.

I cant seem to get any sound out of my bow. It comes out thin and airy. I tried to clean it like I did my bass bow, and clean debris from the strings, but nothing helps. What do I do?

I have always loved the cello but I have zero experience with any instrument, I'm 29 and Ive really been considering trying to learn, but I'm afraid it might be too late to start, especially since I know absolutely nothing about music or how to read sheets etc.

Do you need big hands to play cello? I have small hands. Any tips? I play violin (well, I've been learning to play for three years), and I am fascinated with stringed instruments. Should I get a 3/4 cello? I am tall for a woman (5'9"), but I am small boned...small hands, "lighter" features. So if my hands aren't going to be able to play the notes properly since they're too small, I'd rather just know up front so I can not invest and then feel bad because I'm not built the right way. Thanks!
