Thanks Wendy. A lot of professionals forget what its like to he a beginner. You seem to remember, which is great.

“Have a drink” before going into a performance, referencing holding a beer in a previous video. Is it time for an intervention!?!? Lol, I love your down to earth approach and the great tips you give! Please keep making these types of videos for your aspiring cellist fans :) God knows I need the extra help... ...and my neighbors, they definitely know I need the help!!! Lol

[@WendyLaw]

Haha yes I guess I have talked about drinking hahaha. But in truth I don’t drink at all. I’m literally allergic to alcohol. So glad you found the videos help. Thank you so much for watching!

[@jaredwhitmore1181]

Wendy Law I love every video you have made and I already cant wait for the next one!

[@WendyLaw]

Awww thanks so much Jared!

[@jaredwhitmore1181]

Wendy Law If you ever find yourself in little Reno NV we should grab a coffee or tea (or whatever you arent allergic to drinking!) and chat about music theory :)

[@AlamoCityCello]

Wendy, you’re an excellent teacher! Thanks much!!

[@gabrielpssoa]

Awesome video! Good to know that I have so many similarities in my practice routine!

[@WendyLaw]

OH how cool!!! :)

[@cellowren]

Hello, thank you so much for these incredible videos! Could you possibly consider a video on tips for playing the highest octaves well? I’m currently working on Reminiscenza (performed by Cicely Parnas), and I’m having trouble producing a good sound for the higher passages.

[@kizaru9]

I love everything on this channel. Keep going like this, especially videos where you show the differences between cellos that you test : I enjoy those so much. A huge thank you from France (and sorry for my english, we are known for not speaking it very well)

[@WendyLaw]

Awwww thank you! So happy that you enjoy the videos! ☺️🙏🏼🎶

[@angelafung8873]

Love your videos! Your ideas very clearly conveyed, thank you! They are really helpful! Could you also do a video on how you choose a bow? Like what do you look for when you buy a new bow? Thanks!

[@WendyLaw]

Thank you so much for your nice comment. I am not sure that I can give such good advice on both selection. I have only had two boys my entire life. But overall, I look for something that feels good in my hand and that produces a good sound. You just have to try a whole bunch of different bows and find the one you like.

Practice, Practice, Practice... 💪🏼 💪🏼 💪🏼 😁 👍🏼

Thank you Wendy, your videos are so helpful.

[@WendyLaw]

So happy to hear that

[@stephenjohnson-tseu3872]

That’s cool! I’m interested to know if you know any of your colleagues have a similar routine/list of exercises? Or do they different ones?

[@CuteBoyLesh]

[@naderat]

Thanks Wendy, Could you please put a link to the books you mentioned in your video.

[@WendyLaw]

Just did. I put in the description with links to the PDFs. Enjoy.

[@josepb4136]

Qué aplicación usas para el lector de partituras? Gracias. Un saludo.

[@xogud02]

You are awesome!!

[@WendyLaw]

Thank you!! 🙏🏼❤️

[@patrickgiesel7699]

Is it possible, the Secvik book you linked is for the violin? At least when I click on it it shows me a version for the violin

[@davidcstuart]

I believe this is the cello transcription: ks4.imslp.net/files/imglnks/usimg/a/ab/IMSLP24933-PMLP56027-Sevcik_-_Changes_of_Position_and_Preparatory_Scale_Studies_Op8_cello.pdf

[@davidcstuart]

I won't leave that open long, so go ahead and download

[@d.munhoz4862]

tks for the videos!

[@musicformediagr]

Great tips! Please consider using a closer mic for less hiss!

[@WendyLaw]

Hey thanks for the tip. I actually use my zoom up close. What you hear at the beginning is my heater going off! 😆

[@private7384]

@@WendyLaw He's right..there is a quite a bit of hiss.

[@WendyLaw]

Yes as I mentioned, it’s my heater at the beginning of the video.

Which Sevcik book plz? Can’t see pdf

[@WendyLaw]

Hi Cindy did you click on the link in the down bar ?

[@corinneseaside2512]

Oh my I'm not spending enough time practicing

[@MariamHelwa]

Uf! That first Feuilliard etude kills my fingers. Then again, I’ve only been playing six months.

[@protect_provide8031]

Do them slowly, that first excerise is best in book besides cordes. Do them without your thumb then slowly add it, Youll build detrimental muscles by squeezing

[@calarzt3453]

You can practice a guitar lessons..

[@wagohowardmusic]

Too advanced for beginner. Be back in 4 months
