Relearning cello after a big break advice
I played the cello for about 4 years w/ private lessons from amazing instructors and I made decent headway. Life happened and I haven’t played in about 7 years but now I have the time and the means to restart the journey. I really just want to be a bedroom player, maybe play for me parents or grandparents because they’d love it but not looking to go professional.
I’m considering getting an online course, currently been refreshing with adultcello youtube videos to make sure I have my bearings, so kinda been considering his 30 day course but unsure about how much it will help.
I’m not in a place where I can’t really do lessons in person (I don’t have a car so the transport of the cello generally takes a friend’s help) would zoom sort of lessons be something looking into? I didn’t see anyone local offering this.
As I’m worried about picking up bad habits with my bow hold, etc and positioning the instrument properly (so far been struggling getting a full bow stroke out of the a string, feels like my arms are too short but I got over this in the past.)
So any recommendations for online courses, people who do zoom type lessons if that would be good?
Since I got it off Facebook marketplace I’ve already found a trustworthy luthier so I feel like I’m starting off in a good place but want to ensure I have upward movement in my goals.
