Julia Morneweg This applies to the CodaBow Joule for Cello too.

The contact points thing helped me a lot. For several months I struggled a lot with the bow hold because I was focusing on where the tips of my fingers should lay. It never matched what I saw on video (because of the size of my fingers) and was very uncomfortable. But focusing on putting the bow in the "crease" of my middle finger changed everything. Thank you !

I would really LOVE to see some teaching videos on the popper etudes. My son is working through op. 76 now, but he doesn’t get any instruction on what the teaching points are or what he should focus on. It’s just “learn another line”.

Another thought, perhaps you could go through the op 73 book and explain the main teaching points of each (or your favorite) etudes. That way students watching can trouble shoot their technique by practicing an etude that focus on the point that they want to work on. I’ve just ordered the book by Mat that you recommended. It sounds like he describes his teaching points, which is so helpful. It would be nice to have this sort of overview for the popper etudes.

Hi Evelyn! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. The Popper Studies are on my list of videos to create (hopefully this summer). Unfortunately, I barely manage to record anything while the concert season and academic year are in full swing from September to June. In the meantime, I'd be very happy to work with your son online if you'd like some targeted help. Feel free to drop me a message via my website. J

Julia, I asked my Mom if I could take the mirror off the wall in the downstairs bedroom and I put it up against the wall in my home’s kitchen. It is very narrow. It helps

Julia, I have had 5 private cello lessons, not all the way through Suzuki book one yet, purchased Suzuki book two, have been to four rehearsals with my community strings group. When should I begin working on vibrato? Thank you.

Hi Sarah! That's a LOOONG way off still if you've only just started. As a guide, I start vibrato with my students once the right hand sound production and left hand shape are absolutely settled and all the neck positions have been learned. On average, we are looking at anywhere between 18 months and 2 years (sometimes more, depending on the age and ability of the student) to master all of the above. At the very outset, the top priority is the bow as that's the foundation of everything. Check out my videos on bow hold, straight bow, bow changes etc - they should get you onto the right path quickly. Good luck!

Thank you for your suggestions which I will be trying. I have a question… at 19.07 of your video, for example, your pinky is flat at the first knuckle and bent only at the second, at the tip. Mine does the same. I cannot keep that finger curved but in my case it hurts. That finger aches constantly. (I am an older beginner.) How is it you play proficiently like that and yet it probably does not hurt? Do you have any suggestions to avoid that finger flattening?
@juliamorneweg5416
@juliamorneweg5416 11 күн бұрын
Don't worry about that! Go with what your finger naturally does. Mine clicks and locks at the middle joint and there's nothing I can do about it. The only thing you need to worry about with regard to the fourth finger is that you really shift the full arm weight onto it for maximum support. Good luck!

No one ever mentions that each finger has its own vibrato because of where it is located in the hand. First finger vibrato is different from second, and so on. The oscillation is mainly the first joint of the finger, but that’s trickier with first than with second or third. And ummmm… it’s not difficult, you just need to relax, and if you relax the vibrato will usually begin by itself. Beautiful cello, btw…

Another gem. I am concentrating on baroque ( I heard The Brandenberg Comcertos aged 5 and a more than a little Bach orientated) which as you know does not use vibrato...still, it is a fundamental technique and well worth practicing even though I will be trilling. 🍧🌹

I’m an adult learner who is left-handed and really struggling with bow hold. Does being left-handed make it more difficult, as my right hand is much weaker. Any tips? Fab video by the way 😊

I don't know about the left hand. But I'm right handed and the bow hold is definitely a big struggle for me.

@juliamorneweg5416 11 күн бұрын
It doesn't make a huge amount of difference in my experience. Bow hold simply takes time. As I'm saying in the video, it will initially 'melt' hundreds of times. The key here is to diligently start the process I'm showing all over again every time that happens. (Don't try to become faster at it - only better!) With time, you'll notice that the intervals between the meltdowns become longer and longer as you build the necessary muscles.

Do you use the same approach for very young children (4/5 year old) or do you hold the bow closer to balance point?

Thank you so much!!This is really helpful. I have long fingers and big hands which always make me feel easy and comfortable to play the piano, but after I started to play the cello, it's horrible...I never awared that my little fingers are so short...far away from the third fingers. So big hands or long fingers are nothing to playing the cello...shock. It's really hard when practising, just hurt my hands these days. Thanks a lot that I found this video!! And yes seldom teachers will tell you that choose the suitable instruments…but really like this and don’t want to give up. Really thanks for this lesson.

I have watched a lot of great cellists play on video (Feuermann, Rostropovich, etc) and I have noted that they very often play with an extended thumb. Not a flexed thumb, which you recommened here. How would you explain that they are able to play well with a left hand set up that would be deemed faulty?
