A true maestro. Rest In Peace Anner Bylsma

[@MusicaAngela]

I love that he says instead of remarking on the teaching, the student should be praised for "good learning"!

[@YapLapWombat]

Thank you to Carine Bijlsma for this. May Anner Bijlsma rest in peace.

Gosh, here I am , 86 years old and just learning to play cello, and after viewing the beautiful instructions of this master teacher I weep that I missed out on learning the basics of music...........so, what do I do? what can I do?.........how can I create some semblance of beauty with these old fingers and weariness of mind? ...........I just keep playing .................

[@jacquelinegernay4291]

Keep playing, you are creating beauty. There is no weariness in your soul.

[@charlesbenedetti8607]

@@jacquelinegernay4291 ............Thank you Jacqueline for your encouragement.............When I first started the cello I'd listen to Jackie du Pre 's Elgar Concerto, etc.............and no doubt you too have listened to Jackieyou since you carry the same name............ my history so far is to start, stop, start, stop, start, stop.............taking my rented cello back to the rental shop about 4 times so far.....................well, guess what , I finally bought one of my own which I'm sure will give me stronger dedication to learn it..............

I am 53 years old, having taken cello lessons for one year. What is the point? I know i am definitely more capable now than when i started. Remember even the masters are constantly working on the sound. You never really stop learning, you never really get there. Enjoy the process of life and developing your passion. Go back to where you started and hear how much better it is now. Stay strong, stay brave.

[@rauljimenez-duran5447]

Above all enjoy music, and keep practicing.

[@Mariska9943]

Are you still playing?

[@marcodevries4867]

what a super positive teacher!!! What a friendly person!!

[@uli9084]

Yeah you don't have to be an aso to teach. He was very gentle.

[@vladiinsky]

"you don't know how good you are" :)

[@nicoleterrell1098]

Amazing! Yes, how the students learn. Learning happens in a minute. When they learn something they've been working on in years, tell them good bye!! Go home. Don't talk to anyone. 😂 Wonderful! I can relate as a cello instructor.

[@mnmleung]

Yes, that was a gem ! and i am not a cello instructor : )

[@vladimirlopez7840]

Seems like such a beautiful and peaceful human being and teacher. This is exactly the type of teacher I like to study with.

[@winfriedbij684]

Ik ontdekte de schoonheid van een cello op m'n 7de in de gymnastiekzaal tijdens een schoolmuziekmiddag met de onvolprezen Jean Decroos. De Zwaan van Saint-Saëns. Ik was meteen plat 🙂

[@marklapolla4347]

He knows his students so well and they know him.

[@michaelskees4496]

Came across his recordings and became hooked. He was incredible.

[@OpenmusicEs]

He's just great! Thanks for sharing

[@pabloalmazanjaen6425]

Un placer poder escuchar las sabias palabras de este gran músico y maestro de todos los tiempos. Un placer conocerle y tocar para él en el año 2004 en Saintes, Francia. Grandes consejos...grandes recuerdos...una gran referencia para mi espíritu que nunca olvidaré...Thanks for share!

[@affectus942]

This rather large cello made by Antonio Stradivarius was made in 1701. The former owner sinds 1840 was the Belgian celloist,composer François Servais (Halle,Brussels,Belgium) It stands now in the Washington Smithsonian Museum (USA). Occasionally it is lended out to other great celloist's such as the dutch celloist Anner Bylsmla

[@waynegranvillesmith8535]

[@CarlosCastilloVioloncellistSP]

Thank you so much!!

[@lumarev5301]

Somebody knows, what is the piece at the beginning?...surely, it is a contemporary piece...I guess.

[@pierrefontenelle9271]

Not at all, it is a great show piece, Souvenir de Spa, by Servais, a famous Belgian cellist

[@tjhammond]

Does anyone know the name of the piece that he starts teaching at the 8:58 mark?

[@dannymalawsky]

Souvenir de spa

[@dignum]

how can I find the references for the pieces played in the video ?

[@345red]

What is the name of the cellist at 5:20?

[@mnmleung]

From the credits at the end, I'd guess Anastasia Feruleva

[@GabrielEGiron-wx9lr]
