Yay, I am 60 and taking up the cello recently. So lucky to come across this video. I am so grateful and also very happy to see so many appreciative adult cello learners.

May I know where are those wrong parts? I am learning now …

@@macsch2622 Get a good teacher. You won't learn anything by watching RU-vid videos of impostors. Don't you see the lady plays totally out of tune? What can she teach?

And… you are ?

@@LorenzoDeLeon it's not about who's who and who's protfolio is more impressive. It's about this person who plays out of tune, with a very bad technique, who calls herself a "teacher". So, get a pair of good ears, study a bit and come back the next year, ok? ;)

@@MrAkifusion Have it your way my friend. And thanks for your great advice, enlighting my day
