This might be weird- but I really love your bangs. I don't think I've ever seen anyone where their bangs suit them so well.

Great video. Practice is critical to improving on an instrument. You laid out a very comprehensive regimen (1) warmup/scales (2) etudes (3) bach (4) repertoire + cool down. If you have limited time say about 30 mins should you compartmentalize and shorten these elements are just focus on 1 or 2? Also, what is the most important element of the practice routine you outlined? As a beginning adult student coming from years of playing jazz guitar I find that 75% if not more of my time is spent on SCALES and working on intonation.

I LOVE the way you journal your practices! (I wish I could find your info on journaling practices). I am such a list maker; I find myself walking past lists because they become so overwhelming. But keeping track of lessons practiced​ is a wonderful idea. I've random practice my favorites when I can but mostly scales; boring... Now you've given me wonderful ideas to better enjoy! and value my exercises... Thank You!!!

You rock, Sarah Joy! You're definitely becoming a better teacher in your videos. I hope you continue to enjoy what you do and bring that joy to others as well! :)

What age would you start a child on the Cello? I know that piano is a good base for all instruments, so how would you figure out what a good age would be for the Cello?

[louiseadrien]

This video is nice ! 👍 I have just one question, when you say Bach's suite were written originally almost as etudes, I found it very surprising, where did you get this information ?

[jayaramanthamizhirai]

thanks sarah you are a great inspiration.when you have time please do a video on how to write for a cello taking some
pieces from the suzuki book one, for eg how to write a cello part for twinkle twinkle little star.then please do for how how to write the cello part for the string quartet then do one for cello part for four part harmony and for chorale writing and finally the cello part for an orchestra, many thanks

I’ve been struggling a lot lately with scales and I have a hard time telling if a note is in tune. My scales also aren’t very smooth and my bowing is choppy to say the least. I also have trouble with vibrato. It’s uneven and I have a hard time controlling it and making it sound good. Any tips?

[kyliemartin]

Hi, thank you for these amazing videos! I want to start learning cello, it's a dream of mine. May I ask if you have any suggestions for finding a teacher as a beginner? Also, I'm 45, not too late?

[bradg]

Great information Sarah. However you forgot about one thing. The glass of Cabernet Sauvignon! just kidding :-) I hope you got some rest you look well .Thanks for all that you do.

Can you do a video on what kind of rosin to use for different situations and what kind you use?

[relientdolls]

Could you do a video talking more about how to pick apart an etude?

[jakemf]

Any tips for Intermediate level etude books?

[abrahamhuiki]

I don't play music but I watch your videos because you are very really extremely so beautiful

[katierose]

What etudes do you recommend for a violist learning the cello? Something easy but not too easy, if you know what I mean.

[blueblood]
