Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIf never played before, we will cover the basics:
- How to sit correctly while holding the cello in position.
- How to hold the bow and produce sounds correctly.
- Simple Fingering by melodies.
- What and How to practice.
Lesson 2-3For lesson 2:
- Check practice schedule between lesson 1 and 2.
- Review of correct position, production of sound and melody taught before.
- Deeper work on the melody, looking for better finger placement (intonation) and better sound.
- Learning a new song.
- Talk about practice schedules.
For lesson 3:
- Check practice schedule between lesson 2 and 3.
- Review of correct position, production of sound with the two melodies taught.
- Deeper work on the each melody, applying right position and looking for intonation and adding better sound quality.
- Learning a new songs.
- Talk about better practice schedules.
Lesson 4-10The inicial process of every lesson is going to be pretty standard, always checking for the correct position. In these first 10 lessons, the student will internalize the right and most comfortable position to play while getting the most efficient playing (effortlessly).
We will work on a new song every lesson or every other lesson.
The goal is not to play perfect from lesson 1; it’s just about playing better everyday while developing a better sense of intonation and rhythm while increasing the practice time.
Lesson 11+By this point, the lessons become a bit less “standardized” and get more personal depending on each student capacities.
Always learning musical and technical skills, while complementing them with theory knowledge.
