Cello Extension Tips & Exercises for First Position, PLUS Scale Play Along

Happy #CelloTipTuesday, my dolls & welcome to the first cello tips vlog of 2022! Today Celli & I want to give some tips for extensions in first position. This video is great for beginners that want comfortably play with a high fourth finger or lowered first finger. I also go into my top 3 tips to avoid tension, discomfort, and show various exercises you can do to practice the extension motion. Lastly we end with a scale cycle play-along that uses 3 keys where you'll need, and can therefore practice 😜, your extensions along with me!
Here is the layout of the video:
0:00 - Welcome & extension tips!
12:13 - Beginning of the Scale Play-Along, featuring D major, A major & Bb major scales.
