    The cello has been one of my favorite instruments since I was a girl. Now, at 26, I have my very first cello lesson next week. I'm an adult learner and super nervous, I can't even read music, but I will definitely be watching more of your videos to help me practice at home!

      Hey I'm the same at the age of 10, I started my cello we couldn't afford to keep up by the age of 12 I had to give it up. I totally forgot everything I learnt .. back to basics, I'm now just turned 50 on 13th Nov and my husband gifted me a cello.. so I'm so excited and reuniting with it. Don't be nervous enjoy the flow and sounds you will be amazing .. love Harvie

    Wow you are so awesome, thank you so much! I am relearning the cello after 30 years of not playing! I played for 8 years in my youth, but literally haven’t touched one in 30 years and bought one 3 days ago as I’ve always wanted to play again and I’ve been watching lots of videos and practicing and yours are the first that Make it accessible to me, the other so called “beginner scales” are not beginner, they go too fast, don’t really explain what they are doing and it’s confusing! Your explanations are clear and concise and your pace is perfect, thank you so much! Following and look forward to learning from and supporting you! Thank you so much!!! 💜💜💜💜

    You are so adorable. You really remind me of one of my daughters. Beside the point! What I really wanted you to know is that I began to play cello for the first time in COVID lockdown at the age of 50. I had to stop for a while because I got injured in both arms. But I am now at a place I CAN PLAY AGAIN, and I'm so excited to find your super helpful videos. I noticed you hadn't posted for a few years, so I went to find you elsewhere and discovered you on Spotify. Such beautiful music, Sarah! (I really wish you and my daughter could meet!) You are so talented and very inspiring. THANK YOU for sharing your gifts! -Holly

      @@ItsVenomOntheBeat if it's like violin you can put taped frets but the fingering is precise so the tape goes where your finger must press and not up against as in guitar. Vibrato is different too it's a rolling of the finger not a push and pull as in guitar playing. So eventually after many scales you begin to realize you don't need the tape so you pull them off maybe one at a time..maybe all if you want to see if you can play without any. I play guitar but now violin.. cello is the same tuning as a bass guitar.. I think my hands are too small for cello. I envy cello players. It's beautiful.

    • @sarahjoyrecordings

      Jim Smith Playing the cello is mostly different than playing the violin. The technique is completely different and the cello's notes are in a lower octave. There are some similarities of course but learning to play the cello is a completely different experience that learning to play the violin.

    Hi Sara! I realize I am commenting on a 5 year old video so I have doubts that it will even reach you. My question is this. I injured my left hand pinkie during a work related injury as I did not heal correctly therefore i can not place my fingers properly in the positions. Is there such a thing as alternate finger positions or shall I give up on the cello completely? The latter would be devastating because the cello has been a long time passion of mine and I recently built up the courage to pick it up. Thank you for all your content. You have yet another subscription. Cheers!

    When would you recommend using a common (universal) finger pattern for scales or general playing? I've noticed many people tend to use universal scale patterns when playing, but I find it difficult to find videos or texts with good instruction on how to get to that point. (i.e. C major scale differing from the rest due to it's use of open string and how to go about learning that particular scale.) What advice do you have for Cellists taking on this new pattern?

    • @sarahjoyrecordings
      @sarahjoyrecordings  8 лет назад

      If you are a beginner, I would recommend using the scale patterns that are most common. There are different options, but you won't want to confuse yourself or your fingers. You can always learn different patterns later. The finger patterns shown in this video are the most common, and I also have another video covering three (or four, I can't remember) more scales.

    • @calebhughes7647
      @calebhughes7647 8 лет назад

      Sarah Joy Ok. That's been my approach. I guess a more specific example would be. I am currently learning Silent Night and Kept having trouble with switching strings from the A string to the D string when playing C Bb to Ab G on the 18th and 19th measures, as a kind of alt. way to play that part. I found it easier to shift my way down from fourth position in the C scale for that part instead of jumping from Bb on the A string to Ab on the D string. But was wondering if I should have been playing in the universal fingering pattern to begin with just for that song. If that's not clear as mud....sorry.

    so, what kind of tape is it, again, that you use to mark where the notes go? I can't find the video again. So, to mark them, do I go by the notes that sound the same on the piano? That seems like it would be the easiest. Since I learn mostly by ear, but can read basic notes on the piano, that's probably the way I will learn it. I'm not going to be learning so I can play difficult stuff, but want to play hymns and worship songs for my own enjoyment, like I do the guitar and piano. No one else would want to listen to my music, except me anyway! Lol

    I don't know if it is my cello or my lack of musical guidance, but I run these scales every day and I always seem to loose sound/vibration of the string by the time I'm playing with the 2nd/3rd finger on the string. Maybe my cello isn't in tune? Idk, but I would just love some input!

      +The Blonde Scientist If I understand the question correctly, mostly likely you are not putting down enough pressure with your left hand. Try pushing a little harder, but DON'T let your fingers collapse. It takes time to build those finger muscles, but don't get frustrated :) Also, let me know if this doesn't help. There might be something else that is wrong.

      +Ciara White I'm glad they can help! It is possible, but there are so many details! At some point, you will probably want to find a teacher. No matter how talented or smart we are, all of us need to be guided by someone more experienced.

    Thank you so much for playing each of the scales and their individual notes, as well as going over the sharps and flats! I needed them because I am trying to tune by cello correctly, and playing along with the scales of a tuned cello really helps me! (●´ω`●)❤️❤️

    i play the cello and "F" is played by 3 fingers on the D string and "C" is played by 3 dingers on the A string

    • @sarahjoyrecordings
      @sarahjoyrecordings  7 лет назад +4

      +Susana Gonzalez what you are playing is in fact F# and C#. If this is not the case, then your fingers are very flat and need to be moved closer to the bridge. F and C should be played with second finger.

    • @PamelaMou1
      @PamelaMou1 6 лет назад

      Susana Gonzalez I'm sorry, you are mistaken. D3 is called F sharp and A3 is called C sharp. The F she is using is F natural, and a little more than 8 notes below the one you mention, same for C. When you get a little bit more experienced you will understand octaves, sharps, naturals and flats.
