Top 5 cello pieces not to miss as an adult learner

[@sueneyenhouse4037]

Good evening! My 70th birthday gift from my beloved daughter was a wonderful, professional cello (rental) and lessons given by a world class professional cellist! Although I’ve played the flute for most of my years, I always have had this restless admiration of the cello. My first lesson was actually the first time my fingers had ever touched a cello and I’ll never forget that feeling. Six months have passed and I am more in love with playing a cello than ever before! Your videos address so many of the feelings I have been having. I have to chuckle that you refer to yourself a a late comer to studying this instrument at the ripe old age of 25!! But your intuition is right on and has been extremely encouraging. I have been repeating some of your videos, especially on days when my bowing is slightly off or I didn’t quite make that left hand extension. You are helping me keep my chin up and eyes to the rainbow! Bless you!! Sincerely, Sue

[@sueneyenhouse4037]

And how did you know THE SWAN was at the top of my bucket list???☺️

I’m 17 and looking to start Cello after feeling a pull to the instrument a few years. i was thinking of starting on double bass a couple years ago but instead fell in love with the versatility of the cello. this was a great and exciting video for me, thank you!

At 8:25, you have the right point! We must love what we're learning to invest more time! Thanks for sharing!

[@scottbenton1471]

I've been playing piano since childhood, and just started cello at 50. I've wanted to do this for years, but have been putting off due to lack of time, money, and life just happening. Watching your videos is inspiring me to keep going down this road, despite the fact that my wife and probably everyone else I know thinks I'm crazy to even try. Thank you!

No ,you are not .I am 69 and ..beginner.

[@fingerscrossedmotomatt8828]

instant subscribe. the importance of actually feeling motivated and like you're 'playing something' CANNOT be understated, especially as an adult learner. I played Viola all through school and only picked up my cello at 37. thank you so much for this!

[@robmendez8526]

I went from viola to cello too!

[@birdsoffir]

Right on! Never too old AND I find working complex pieces intensifies my motivation. Every measure is a rewarding mini success. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@MsTreker54]

I fully agree with a beginner trying to slowly learn Bach’s Cello Suite prelude. As adults so many of us were drawn to the cello by ‘that cello song’ and trying to play it gave me more inspiration to practice and improve myself.

[@adultcello]

Exactly! It's so inspiring to be working on a real piece of repertoire, even if in certain ways it might be considered "too early" to do so. Thanks for your comment!

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

Why do pple insist on calling it a 'song'? It's a piece. Nobody sings, altho of course the cello has a singing tone.

[@RachelRevesz]

Hello, very glad to discover your channel since a few days. I am from the Netherlands and living in France. I have a cello since a few weeks, subscibed to a music school in a near little town which begins in 2 weeks ... In the meantime I am playing "by ear", as we say in France, which means without reading music. And I am convinced you are right when you say that the pieces we like are very stimulating : prelude 1 Bach I love it and began playing it from listening and looking cellists on youtube ! I am 71 years old 😊

[@kristianasilver4089]

I discovered the Matz Suite recently. I need to give it to a student soon. Matz pieces are a staple of my teaching. They sit so nicely on the cello. I especially love the Andante and Rondo.

[@virginiacentanni3259]

I'm a 61 year old who has just had her first cello lesson. To be honest, it was quite overwhelming. As someone who is getting up in age, memory is not quite where it used to be. Because of that reason, I worry about memorization of location of notes. I'm hoping things get less overwhelming soon as I am on a deadline for December 2024!! Lol!! Thank you for your videos!!! You're great!!!

[@matthiasstenzel7622]

Thank you for your great content! I restarted playing the cello 6 month ago at the age of 40 after a pause of 20 years. It was (and still is) very challenging to accept that you have to build up dexterity and strength of the fingers step by step again. Not to forget the hard skin on your fingertips (outch). However, I'm very glad to see that there is such a great community of people who are adult lerners, too. Although I learned to play the cello before most of your videos fit to me as well. Especially the fact that I'm struggeling to find the right pieces to play for my level. Bach Prelude and The Swan are very obvious but at example Sicilienne is a piece I never stumbled over. It is so much fun to work on it and watch the progress you make. Especially because my cello teacher 20 years ago never allowed me to play the romantic or very melodical pieces. I was almost shocked when I learned that there are many works of romantic composers a can actually play! And it doesn't sound... too bad. That totally changed my point of view to cello music difficulty and boosted my motivation as well. Maybe I always was more the "kind of romantic" cello player ;) Keep doing what you do and thanks again Matthias

[@MaryAnn_007]

As an adult beginner (cello), I'm definitely ready for some grown-up pieces. I don't know how many more kids' songs I can handle. Yes, I'm excited and inspired by this list, and I'll be tackling them a.s.a.p. Thank you! Oh, and your performance of the Allemande was beautiful!

[@adultcello]

Thank you so much, and I definitely know how you feel! I hope you enjoy the pieces, they really were a joy for me to learn when I first encountered them years ago!

[@cantelopes]

I am picking up cello again after 15 years. I also didn't go far when I did play it 15 years ago so I still consider myself a beginner. I foolishly started learning Bach's Prelude because that was the piece that made me want to get into cello in the first place haha Of course, you are right and I need to be a little more advanced to play it correctly but I am proud of my progress with it, despite that. I will be trying the other pieces you suggested to give my neighbors a break from hearing a Botched Bach's Prelude every day!

[@julioalbinati3879]

I'm glad to see Dotzaeur #17 in this list! I was used to somewhat boring études (Dotzauer has some études that are simply exhausting) when I suddenly bumped into this gorgeous piece. It was perhaps the very first piece of music in the cello that I actually felt satisfied to play. I sometimes go back to it, now many years after my first encounter, so that I can incorporate new learnings and just have fun with it.

[@tayyipkarakahya7176]

I'm 25 .I started cello last october .It's been year and I am happy to start, Cello not easy but so enjoyable :D thanks for video ,have a good day.

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

Playing the Bach after just three months, you must be very talented. I learned to play it 8 notes in one bow. That's a lot harder than what I hear most cellists playing four notes in one bow than one note per bow. My teacher told me to play it to make it sound like a flowing river. But it's very hard that way.

[@sillywwabbit]

This is wonderful. I really appreciate your comments about Bach Cello Suite 1-Prelude. I completed your Adult Cello class coming up on 3 months ago. The entire time I was also working on that piece as that was my primary motivation for taking up the cello... I practice 6 days a week for 1.5 to 2+ hrs and it always includes at least 30 min. of working on Prelude. I am now at the point where I can play about 98% of it at a good, comfortable speed. I've also been speeding some time on other Bach pieces. I can see how the other 4 pieces you have recommended would help accelerate my progress. I am definitely adding them in rotation in my practice routine. I also took your advice a month ago about the Piaitti Etudes and use them for my warmups. Thanks again!

[@adultcello]

That's so wonderful to read, thank you so much for your message! I love the consistency of your practice regimen, the cello is clearly just a part of who you are now :) I think a rotation of pieces that includes Piatti etudes, the Bach preludes and some of the pieces in my list sounds like a wonderful mix. If you have any questions at all about this repertoire, please don't hesitate to email me, I love discussing this stuff!

[@debracarlson5511]

The music we choose, no matter what instrument I play or sing, motivates me to practice and almost unknowingly, takes me, even if it is a baby step, to the next level. Thank you for recommending these pieces.

This is like it was made for me, dude. I’m 26 and an aspiring cellist. Thanks for this motivation, it’s what I really needed, someone adult to relate to that learned cello at 25+ years old🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@cathygoltsoff9615]

Cello Fun - Don’t forget to throw in some pop music: About the time I started learning position pieces for cello (Mooney). I made a discovery that I no longer needed to spend money on generic sounding pop cello music. I play along with “Hauser” and “2Cellos” fun songs like The Godfather theme, Moon River, Despacito, Yesterday (Beatles). I like playing along by ear with fun songs. I was so Suzuki that I did not realize that I could play by ear. Some of the generic cello sheet music is terrible and the accompanying electronic backup does not always sound good with cello. Find cello audio/video that you like and try to play along with it - for fun.

[@paulquinn344]

I am bookmarking this so that I can research these wonderful pieces of music. I started at 51 years old but am rusty due to a stroke.. But getting back in to it.

This is an extremely helpful video!! I just went to see a symohony recently. They played Tchaikovsky and even though the violins played beautifully, I was transfixed on the cellos. I've debated about learning how to play the cello for a few years now and after seeing that symphony, I've been even more determined to learn

Im re picking up cello after being first chair in middle and in highschool. I stopped attending class in highschool so i can go to college early and didnt have enough money to buy one......and i miss the cello so much! Its been 5 years!!!! I bought and successfully fixed a broken eletric cello on ebay for 100 bucks a year ago. Now i just need to buy a bow and jump back on. I learned up to only fourth position, and need a refresher. Back to tapes lol. Im excited to catch up to playing these pieces.

[@cellohack8602]

6 months in now, started at 39 years old. Can't even read music. Thank you for the video. Knowing that we are not alone and we can do it is motivating. I love that you are not dogmatic. My first teacher forbid to touch some of those pieces now. However, I did not listen. And thank god. Currently starting to learn The Swan. Tried Prelude at 3 months, learned a lot, put a pause. But The Swan was calming and relaxing. Super motivating

I have played for a year now with a private teacher. But your encouragement has helped so much. My teacher started when he was five years old, and although he is excellent and very supportive, there’s no way he can understand quite like you can! There is a lot more on your channel I need to explore. There is a chance my husband and I may be moving to the LA area. I don’t know if you are still giving in person lessons or not. Anyway, you might be hearing more from me in the future as I progress. Thanks for your wonderful videos!

I also found that the Bach Gounod Ave Maria in C for cello and piano was a good one too. For the most part you can play the entire piece in first position less the high E. However as I advanced I was able to play the same piece in the higher positions of course refining the sound in how it was played. Good piece.

[@Darkslide99]

I found Dotzauer 17 by accident. i have the book and it looked doable as a beginner. lol It sounds so much like the Downton Abbey intro theme song that i got hooked. It’s one of my favorite etudes. i want to get good enough to just have it in my back pocket as a piece i can one day play really well! Oh Dotzauer 4 is fantastic too!

This is a wonderful list, Billy, thank you. I started scratching away at the Bach Prelude just after my first month of learning cello, and to this day (three months in), I love it! I feel like it is within my grasp...ok, perhaps not this year in any pleasant kind of way. But, just this morning my husband heard me practicing the piece and popped his head in the door to say he recognized the piece and he was floored I was already trying to put it together! I guess I should be learning scales...I am...however, there has to be the carrot at the end of the stick and this piece is dangling on the string. Thanks Billy. I really enjoy all of your videos.

[@ellenfrance7004]

Yay!! I loved this tutorial although I loved all of your posts! I have to agree with your reason for choosing Bach suite 1 prelude. I started my cello journey with a short term goal of being able to play Bach suite. It is very encouraging to hear you say that this is within reach for adult players, not just for advanced professionals to play. Yes, I am excited and inspired in full! Thank you!!!!

[@adultcello]

Thank you so much for your message, I'm thrilled to hear that you're inspired to try these pieces! The best thing about learning something like the Bach prelude early on, in my experience, is that you can return to it over and over again throughout your journey and each time you will learn new things and add more layers of nuance. Thanks again for your message!

The prelude is also great for learning phrasing and musicality! Without adding special little phrasing touches this piece can get very boring, especially since it's so well known, which is why it is both important but also perfect for learning how to really play instead of notes on a page.

[@pajaf0341]

Grützmacher did write WONDERFUL 2nd voices for 12 out of Dotzauers etudes. They are quite difficult and clearly intended for the teacher, but they elevate the often surprising beautiful pieces even more. Also, as a Cello teacher: Yes, go for Bach the second you can barely reach the neck positions. Of course, there are some difficult hand positions: The pieces were most likely played by Bach on the viola and cello positional technique had not yet emancipated from violin technique. Musically fitting fingerings (--> how Bach probably intended the pieces to be played) are hellish or just not realistic in some places. And the traditional workarounds are not really natural. BUT: Most of the G-Major Suite is really approachable. Don't miss out on the greatest music you can experience to play by yourself, just because some passages will not be flawless for some years, jet.

[@chrisliles5564]

I would also add Lights and Shadows by Matz. It’s phenomenal.

I played piano in school, then learned guitar on my own around 20. Now I'm 37 and started with cello, can't be bothered with sheets and notes so I just play by ear and play along to music on youtube like "2 Cellos" and such. Often sounds like crap as I don't even know half of the melodies and only played for a few weeks but it's fun and that's what will keep me going, struggling with sheets would just put me off and make me play the guitar instead. And I learn to find my way around the finger board without looking and make it sound right, so much easier to try and figure out the bowing stuff without having to stare at a note sheet at the same time. Might start looking at the note sheets when I feel it's time to learn the Cello Suite.

Great advices, I agree with you and I think having pieces which motivate you to play are more important than anything for a beginner adult learner!

Adding my thanks for these recommendations. If I have to play Happy Farmer one more time I will CHOKE!

You have identified a niche with a real need!

Hi! You might want to check out the ABRSM volume 1 or 2 books. They are a similar level to Suzuki but I think many of the pieces are more interesting for adult learners. There's also Bach for the Cello; it's published by Shirmer and it's ten Bach tunes transcribed for the cello and only in first position.

I started cello at 7 but I quit at 15. Picked it back up at 27 and found myself quite annoyed with most pieces. It wasn’t until I went to electric and started playing pieces well above my level I’d started skyrocketing in skill. One thing I think older beginners can benefit from is picking up an electric cello. (I know it infuriates traditional cellists) Having the ability to use effects like reverb noise gates and delay greatly improves the quality of what you hear while your learning dynamics and fine tuning your technique. It really sucks being a beginner and spending months squeaking your way to annoying neighbors. I’ve noticed no difference in my traditional technique starting my journey again on electric. For myself, having an absolutely beautiful sounding instrument, regardless of how much I sucked, really drove me to WANT to play.
