I’ve often heard that the cello has the closest range to the human voice, so I just looked it up and yes, it’s bang on. Lowest bass vocal note scored in normal circumstances is C2, and the highest Soprano note scored in normal circumstances is C6. The Cello’s range is C2 to C6. 😊😊

HI Illia!! Now I know you speak spanish Ill take advantage of it!!
cada video tuyo es de suma ayuda. Soy contrabajista, pero cuando termine mis estudios, compre mi primer cello y aunque he tomado alguna clase, mas que nada estudio por mi cuenta y sigo tus videos buscando siempre nuevas ideas y formas de mejorar. Te envio esta pregunta en caso te sea interesante y hasta puedas darme una mano...mi esposo, tambien musico y muy exigente, sigue insistiendo en que debo mejorar el ataque en cada cambio de arco...y aunque trabajo con el libro de Feuillard, y cada dia comienzo mis escalas siguiendo el ejercicios de arco que propone en su estudio n 2, parece no mejorar.
si tenes alguna sugerencia, sera de gran ayuda!

Siesta is important! it helps the brain consolidate what was practiced.

[inesbustos]

Very interesting video, as always. Now, here's my question: can you see any difference as regards performance between male and female cellists? If yes, which one?

[Luis_Santos.]

Great video, Master !!!
Thank you for the answers !!!

I have 2 basic questions :

1. How much tension to put on the bow ? Does it has to change depending on the music you are gonna play ?

2. What objective symptoms a worn out string presents ?

I've had that 1 hour once a week lesson to no avail
I'd like to be a good cellist and this recommendation for the year of technique practice is just the
direction that I plan to take Do you have suggestions for finding a teacher dedicated to the adult student who can practice 4 hours a day all for the love of cello?

[murilosezimbra]

Tenho uma pergunta Ilia, qual é a característica mais importante para o instrumento: um timbre bonito ou um som potente e aberto?
