Cello Check up
When learning to play the cello it’s essential to have all the proper equipment. If you have rented a cello from a reputable string shop, chances are you have an instrument which has been set up well.
Old Bow vs. New Bow
Many cellists forget the role of the bow when shifting. However, the movement of the bow is every bit as important as when we move the left hand! I’ll explain in detail in this video.
Twinkle Thumb
In this lesson you will check your left hand position and play Twinkle while shifting back and forth between first position and thumb position.
