Is it possible in 2020 to get this sheet music with all the notation?

[@jycello9633]

This is a great tutorial especially for the students with limited access to cello lessons during the global pandemic! Thank you

[@peterbrackenridge7511]

Thank you Jonathan. You have made it possible for me to play this eventually and certainly begin to learn the piece. Very clear. Peter

[@ospreyish]

I am working on this now on classical guitar. I have come to appreciate the cello and recently bought one with the idea to start lessons.

[@CelloCoach]

Cool, welcome!

[@polabear99]

자세하게 설명하여 주시어 정말 감사합니다. ^^

[@JamesChenLei]

The music sheet can not be downloaded anymore. The google drive link can not be found. Could you update the new link? I pretty like the sheet marked by you. Thanks.

[@sitiopontoalto]

Yes, I also cannot download the the sheets...the link is broken.

[@erikverboom5383]

This is extremely helpful, thank you!

[@CelloCoach]

You're welcome Eric!

[@flowersandragons]

Well, sadly I don't have a cello (yet), but I'm thinking of renting one from this nearby luthier, where I always go for my violin. The sound is so deep and soothing. Hopefully, I can play this piece too one day :)

[@CelloCoach]

You will

[@tomhohn5234]

All it takes is motivation, practice, and excellent teaching such as this video. I was inspired by yo yo ma, have been playing cello for ten years.

[@tomhohn5234]

Sorry, comment was meant for ayamegumi.

[@mariahelenapetideoliveira1534]

Isn't there a gap between measures 21 and 24? I'd love to see that part! :(

[@marcosrabello7324]

Boa noite espetacular sua explicação poderia me enviar a partitura dessa lição?? Por favor eu lhe agradeceria muito meu sonho tocar ela muito agradecido pelos ensinamentos vejo seus vídeos direto

[@CelloCoach]

[@petraeunjoo]

Hello Jonathan. It was exactly what I was looking for!! By the way, I cannot open the music sheet from your website. Could you please check that for me?

[@JamesChenLei]

Same here. I cannot download it. And this version is the best I can find online. Do you get it?

[@jimwrathall5323]

Thanks for you wonderful, up-beat lesson on this song! I would like to know what in your opinion would be the best mpoderate-priced cello bow? Thanks for your good work.

[@CelloCoach]

Moderately priced for which level? For students, a bow between 150 - 350 US$ would suffice as moderate. Your luthier would be the best place to ask these questions, Jim.

[@hellinast.louis-bicar4954]

Thank you!!

[@marianomontania7403]

thankyou very much!!!!!

[@CelloCoach]

No worries!

[@lalallmichelle5395]

Hi Jonathan, I still dun get how measured 33 is being played. There are two A’s going in that bar how is it played?

[@ladyfun4547]

So helpful!!!

[@alejandrobottini9392]

Hello Jonathan You have great Videos and I also bought your Scale Booms also great by the way congrats for your passion!!!!!. I also need to tell you that I have problems to Download your music sheets , can you please check that?. I would be really greatfull !!!!!!!! Please thanks again!!!!!!!!

[@CelloCoach]

please send me an email to learn how to obtain the scores

[@deloceanophoto]

Hey Jonathan, just a question... in this music and in the video where you play the whole thing, you stretch to a C# in measure 22. In other sheet music and videos, I’ve seen that played as a C natural. Just wondering if one is more correct or is either ok?

[@CelloCoach]

Yup, that was a mistake! Carrying over the C@c after the point d'orgue was not written so I need to leave a pinned comment on that

[@deloceanophoto]

@@CelloCoach Thanks!

[@tspark1071]

wonderful

[@walter-yt8mu]

Sheet music ?

[@SteveNinetyski]

Can anyone recommend some very beginner friendly songs to learn? Thanks

[@CelloCoach]

email me a list - [e-mail] - of your favorite genres

[@dhanjean4634]

In Section 33, are all the A's open? It didn't look like you shifted. I saw that it went B, A, C and repeat.

[@clemensgruber6213]

How long (years) need you / a "normal" student cello lesson to start with the Bach prelude?

[@CelloCoach]

In all honesty, you can begin immediately after having knowledge the fundamental knowledge of how a string instrument makes sound. Like I said in the video, you play the chords simultaneously, like a guitar, prior to every legato. We seek the wood, not the string. We play the inner note of the chord more consciously. We martelé and legato. We string cross with bar chords, shift through half to 4th positions, knowing the 2 octave G-major and D-Major scales, as well as chromatic fingering. Then we apply phrasing and our own personal touch. You would have to define "normal" so I can give you real life examples of adult students who have played every part of Suite 1, in an upcoming video on this subject. Great question!

[@clemensgruber6213]

Ok, let's say my doughter with 4 years (she's learning violin :-) vs. me with 40+ years. ;-)

[@RDP777]

None of the scores are working...broken links.

[@DJ-ls4vy]

why are the a notes not being played in measure 35?

[@CelloCoach]

Right, good question Danj126. We do play all the notes, yes, though when learning the string crossings, my advice it to learn the 2nd string (D/Re) notes first, then add the 1st string (A/La) notes afterwards.

[@kittycatboss5940]

how do you do the +4 at the beginning of the video?

[@CelloCoach]

Shift up a half step

[@mhrussell1]

Just started lessons and watching your channel in between lessons. Great stuff. Can you tell me why you rosin link at Amazon is for a rosin that says violin, viola, cello when in your earlier videos you said to get "cello only" rosin. Thanks.

[@CelloCoach]

Good catch! I use the Oliv Evah and have been doing so since a cellist recommended it to me. There are unspoken, sort of "in-the-know" things musicians share amongst one another. This rosin - paired with a cello like mine and strings and playing style and bow quality - has been reliable for now 10 years.

[@naderat]

Hi Jonathan, I really enjoy your cello tutorials. One question, why do you have that cloth on your cello?

[@CelloCoach]

Thank you Nader. The cloth is to protect the varnish from transpiration.

[@barbaramayer5182]

I was not taught any of this

[@CelloCoach]

and now you are learning for free!
