5th Position Hand Shape and Higher - Advanced Cello Position Tips

[@wood-side-story]

Excellent talk 🙌 I really appreciated your views about "muscle memory" and how it actually comes from the brain/mind, and the ear. Now that I work a lot more on intonation with scales (and hot cross buns) I am reaching intuitively notes on the fingerboard in higher positions on lower strings, without knowing to "map" this area of the fingerboard. Especially if I do not try to think about the actual placement and just trust my internal ear to guide my fingers😅 And I never see immediate or linear results when practicing. Like you say, it is the next day, next week, next minth that you may see the result of your practice. Like most skills we focus on developing (can also physical like sports, cerebral like languages, or both like artistry) , it takes smart practice, repetitions, and time (to rest, process, assimilate) . And a huge faith in the process 😆
