I have watched a lot of your videos and they are helpful, but, as in this one, I have not found mention of left arm position. This is surely an important connection to everything you teach in this and any left hand tutorials.

Gostei da aula! Obrigada!

So important, thank you

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Thank you for watching!

[@danielebertolini3890]

Thanks for another very useful video! I would have a quick question: I really struggle to smoothly shift back and forth to harmonics when they are in a legato with other notes (e.g., in Cinquantenne). Is there any chance you can cover this issue in any of your videos? Thanks again for all your hard work in preparing these videos.

[@citlaliespinosa5623]

¡Gracias! Muy útil para nosotros los principiantes 🤍

Great teaching😊

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Thank you Mette! Hope you are doing well! Still impressed with your dedication 🤩

[@mettevunsjensen4094]

Hi Ilia I’m still going strong. I would like exercises like scales in all positions and doublestops.

[@kencarpenter2785]

I STILL have a tendency to press too hard with my thumb! So, I practice with the thumb completely off the neck!

[@musicfridge]

Your Style of Explaining ist very good! Do you have a Tutorial for Vibrato? I couldnt find ich in your Playlists!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Thank you! Indeed, I still don’t have a tutorial about vibrato. I have some reasons for it. Vibrato isn’t something that you can learn in a 10-15 minute video. Vibrato is something that opens with time. Besides, it is something that is personal, every cellist will develop his/her own vibrato. What I can do and was thinking is to pack a video with some basics, why, what, how, why not,… Thanks for watching and the suggestion!

Las posiciones de la mano y articulación es muy similar para tocar guitarra, no será complicado para mi 👍lo que me preocupa son los movimientos con la mano derecha 🤦🏻‍♀️ con la guitarra fue muy complicado el rasgueo y el ritmo. Podré con el cello? 😢

[@kentjensen816]

I've seen a few of your videos. They were helpful. I think most intonation issues are because they don't hear what they want to produce. You honestly expect us to believe that you couldn't help playing out of tune while using different finger pressures?

[@pauldandurandboots]

I noticed you sometimes use pizz (plucking off the string) as your fingering comes down the scale, especially on the A string. Do you have a video that covers this or any comments about when to use this approach?

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Dear Paul! Indeed! The plucking is the articulation I do to come down, to be more precise! Absolutely great observation. Need to make urgently a video about this! Thank you for your observation!

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

What I can say for now is, you must pluck mostly on the A string. Be careful with the other strings as you might pluck unwanted strings. I’ll make a video about that anyways.

[@pauldandurandboots]

@@IliaLaporevcellist I have an unrelated question and don't know if you have a video on this. What are you tips on slight body sway movement? Some cellist sway with the bow direction, others sway in the opposite direction. One talks about a tree in a wind where the sway direction changes just after the bow direction (i.e., down bow, sway right with the bow, then faster the transition to the up bow, start swaying left.) Personally, I find it more natural to say with the bow direction than against it, but could I have picked up a bad habit? Please point me to a video if you already cover this. If you don't have it, might it be interesting for your audience to have a body sway video? (Note that I say "slightly" as some may over exaggerate.) Thanks :)

[@TheBereangirl]

I STILL struggle with finger placement after nearly two years. I guess it just takes time for muscle memory to take hold. If my muscle memory is anything like my brain memory... it's is going to take a LOT of time for it to take hold.🤦🏻‍♀️

[@kencarpenter2785]

To use an expression from the 70’s….”Right ON!!”

[@nex3movie]

Always forget the basics. Then look back at this channel.

[@charlesming7875]

Do you know hard it is for a virtuoso to emulate playing like a beginner?

[@MsCellobass]

Has time to make YT vids but not ANY time for a reply from him😒

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

Maybe because I am busy making these videos to give value to you guys and a lot of time and effort go into them?

[@jameshesford]

All very well and good I m sure. Good pressure good position good shifts. But what about the ear. If you can't hear it you will never play it. The bottom line is how you hear it is the fundamental. Correct pressure and good finger position is based on this not the other way round. So - not with you on this one Sorry. .

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

The ear is the best weapon, if you have watched some of my other tutorials I clearly say that the ear is our best weapon. You are right. But, for a free lesson this is not bad stuff at all. Of course, a paid lesson will cover everything. Can’t do all in 10 minutes and for free…But yes, you are right about the ear.
