Hi, so total beginner at cello, but very experienced musically... I was wondering if you could do a specific video for how to hold the bow comfortably maybe with a step by step or close up. I'm struggling with holding the bow. Also, no matter how I seem to sit, my legs still get in the way. Thanks so much. You rock!!!

Thanks so much, Tina! I have spent countless weeks reviewing beginner cello tutorials on KZbin and you are hands down the best by leaps and bounds. You break things down into useful and manageable steps-which does not overwhelm an absolute beginner like me. Your practical wisdom and tips are invaluable. You also have a very friendly, enthusiastic, and engaging manner. Your pace, tone, and communication style are not only engaging but fun! I am a lifelong educator and I think you are the best cello teacher on KZbin. So lucky to have crossed your path.

Hello Tina.

Thank you for teaching us and showing us the various techniques, among them the Vibratto still costs me a lot, but I know I will achieve it ... it would be wonderful not to stop doing these tutorials that encourages and helps so many passionate about such a beautiful instrument as the cello is. Thanks for your valuable time!

No guarantee you will progress: before quitting cello 30 years ago I was practicing 4-6 hours a day for 8 months, and every lesson my teacher would say, “you haven’t practiced” until one day I just got really angry. It was like a barrier I had made for myself with pressure by my desire to succeed. When I finally gave up the cello it was like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Now my daughter wants to learn so I’m determined she just enjoys it without any pressure to improve or anything.

Thank you for your time and explaining a difficult topic, I'm chewing it over for a bit. In "the last of the Mohican" you show bowing the notes individually and also dividing the bow for the notes, since you compose, can you explain when it's "better" to use which technique? I find my tunes sound like a midi-block Song because of the pauses. (learning the Cello is in itself a different language) 🤔

Since I don't have the familiarity with cello literature that I have with violin, could you list the etude books that you would most recommend. Your bowing exercises reminded me of what a useful thing that is for students. Thanks!
