    I agree with the person who posted below. Lessons are helpful and easy to relate to. I'm also using his Adult Cello lessons. I had taken a few lessons from a local person who played cello but found immediate improvement with Billy's lessons. Videos are great, but his Adult Cello course is a valuable way to get started with cello.

      Hello, I need your help , can I ask you a favor ( as a left-hander)can you play your cello on your right shoulder with your with hand in minus 1st position on the C string and tell me if it touches the pegs please. I cannot play the tradition way and want to know before I purchase. I stop violin ( traditional) at grade 6 and want to take up cello. Thank you

    Several months there was one day I started practicing as a first-year beginner, and I was enjoying it so much that after two hours my left hand went into cramps, and it became worse and worse until I felt the need to go to one of our local emergency care clinics. They gave me an injection to relax my clawed left hand and a strap-like thing designed for sufferers of carpel tunnel syndrome. Needless to say, I couldn't play again for many days, but finally the problem went away and it hasn't happened since. I don't need to tell you, though, that subsequently I don't practice for two hours anymore!

    Thank you sooo much. After a long search I finally got an answer 🙏. I have very small hands and my hand collapse literally, if I try to keep l my 1 and 4. finger in the exactly same position.
    My teacher told me to do this.
    But that causes so much tention.
    I did naturally the same what you recommended, to move the hand a bit down and than back. I am happy that is not wrong, it works great for me!

    Why spend so much time avoinding a natural reflex in stead of combining it with friction and gravity?
