This is wonderful and helpful and increases my practice time. But a little discouraging, because you never comment on HOW to get that beautiful sound. Maybe in a different video? Thanks!

Thank you so much, Carrie! I really appreciate it!

[@thefroginleopard]

Really love the idea of finding the favorite note and matching the quality of others! When you have a chance could you demonstrate the same string crossing exercise but with an upbow on the lower string and downbow on an higher one? Say upbow C and then crossed to downbow G. I find such crossings the hard to do smoothly and it would be great if I could see this demonstrated by you. Thank you as always!

[@malikeaboss]

your videos are amazing. Please dont stop!

[@adultcello]

Thank you so much!

[@Fidi987]

This sounds almost meditartve. A reminder to never rush practice!

[@adultcello]

Yes!

[@jeffholguin2936]

Thank you!!! This helped me a lot! Just having the focus on tone and quality, instead of scales and songs. My playing already sounds good and I feel like my practice was efficient.

[@davidlowther8886]

Thank you for this routine!

Thank you

[@aspenx1304]

This is SO absolutely awesome 👌

[@adultcello]

Thanks so much!

Thanks for all the tips. I'll use your video as a quick-practice guide when I'm in a hurry, but it's also a great "intro" to a long practice session (I have holidays coming up! I'll experiment with sound, using your method.) And I don't like my C natural (my fault, I can never get it perfectly in tune), but the G on the D string and the D on the A string sound beautiful on my cello.

[@adultcello]

Thanks so much! And I agree, it would work equally well as a warmup for the body and the ears before a longer practice session! If I hadn't picked the c natural as a starting point, the other two notes you mention would probably be my next picks!

Even though I’m am technically not an adult learner, I really enjoy your videos because they feel very encouraging.

[@adultcello]

That's wonderful to hear, thank you so much for you comment!

[@lindsayramsbottom1859]

Billy all your videos are fabulous. You are such an encouragement

[@kwalden801]

What brand of strings and bow do you use? This is a great practice video for tone and bow work. Thank you.

[@oliviadrawz39]

Oh, just what I needed.

[@wildeyedfae]

Great lesson thanks!

[@zuzana676]

Thanks! I will try this tomorrow

[@adultcello]

Awesome!

[@mjgarratt]

Great content, really useful... sorry to criticize but your audio levels are really very low. Something to consider when you're editing next time.

[@adultcello]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I was having audio trouble but should be good to go now!

[@RobKinneySouthpaw]

E on the d string is that note for me.

[@debbietrauth]

Great advise. How did you make the sound of vibrato without doing a vibrato?

[@alexnjx]

10 minutes?!? Sacrilegious.. but I’m listening..
