Hello to everyone! My name is Jonathan, your Cello Coach on YouTube
I am here to answer your recent questions
And for this reason, I start in French because the first question from Medhi
askes me
I speak a little french and I will speak and upload French videos
of French songs in the future. Please wait a bit
because I've already discovered plenty of French very lovely songs
but the non-French speaking world is not unaware of them. For this reason,
I will upload and share French songs with everyone!
BUT . . . the videos will be in French
The second question is from Mieke. She writes some things like that for you is just easy like
Everything else is quite self-explanatory on that line. No, it isn't just saying
You're right Mieke! Sometimes I do make a presumption and I want everyone to know that watching this channel subscribing to this channel
that I do not teach with any presumption that you
Know what's gonna happen? And so I'm sorry Micah for making that presumption that everything is
explanatory
sometimes when I do rush through some of the explanations because I have to keep the video short so
My apologies because I guarantee all of you I do not make presumptions
Our next question comes from Hanna
She asks about the cello case and that she didn't find a video about how to choose a cello case
She would love some help. And by the way her cello is about
$3,000
Hannah there is a sort and formula for a cello case. You're supposed to buy a cello case to half the value of your instruments
No, you're not if so then I would buy a cello case well over
$30,000 for my cello and there are cello cases like that. So
What I'm going to do for you Hanna and the rest of everyone watching is when I return to California for the next four weeks
starting next week
I'm going to mount a video of different cello cases side by side and show you a good comparison of an Eastman case
Hopefully they have a bad case a soft case and mount some questions and some answers about cases particularly
So stay tuned for that that will happen in the very near future
Mr. Doctor, by the way, you give some great questions
Asks, how do you conquer stage fright if you have had it while performing or any other time like I wrote to and I'll explain
to everyone here stage fright being nervous about
what you're about to do in front of people perform music is a natural phenomenon because it's anxiety and you never ever
Conquer it what you need to understand is that anxiety that energy that desire to perform well
transfer that into something else
I used to get stage fright, and I don't get it anymore because I've transferred that energy into a different physical
Manifestation so I tend to sweat I don't get nervous
My hands don't shake my palms will get sweaty
But I do sweat and I know that's my body's way of
Heating up and getting ready to perform and it only happens for the very first round
So get the idea out of your head that you can ever conquer stage fright. It is part of you
It is part of all of us, but you never conquer stage fright. You only make that energy and you transfer it to something else
We all get it our next question comes from Envy
Always love the cello. I learned it as a kid some five six years and I restarted last year about
After a 15 plus year break
But I feel it hard to keep constant with my studies and I believe my ADHD
plays some nasty part in it if
You have ever had an ADHD student
Do you have any tips for sharing too the motivation up? Well, Envy
Yes, and I was able to teach these children and adults
Cello and what you need to understand you have the ability to both be laser-focused and completely all over the place
You must train your mind to understand that when that partition is on the stand when the cello is next to your body
You become that laser and if you can manage that laser focus
Then you're doing good
How long will that manage for the problem is only about 15 minutes after?
That your mind will start to wander
Everybody's mind starts to wander
So you need to train after the point of that laser focus envy you need to look into what you're doing
Mentally after you have succeeded in the first period of deep practice
That is the goal for you. Our last question comes from Samuel your content is so amazing in genuine. Thank you and
So helpful during a time of having an O teacher. Well, that's why the channels here
Much appreciate it. You're welcome
I'm surprised you don't get more views but I guess having fewer views keeps the teaching a bit more one-on-one. No
Yeah like that when I first started doing these question answers I had three questions
Now I had to choose between all of them
So, you know, it does grow the channel and the more you guys like share and subscribe
The better it becomes I do it for you guys
He finishes this question by asking do you think you might do a cover tutorial of?
This is me
From the greatest showmen the latest film from hugh jackman and I must say to you Samuel
Thank you
There's so much music out there everyone watching this video
Make a suggestion any video make a suggestion to music that you find that touches your heart
But may also sound beautiful with cello. I
will always watch your suggestions take him into serious consideration no matter the genre and
If it touches my heart and I can see it touching everyone else's hearts like this song. This is me. I
Will do a cover and tutorial for it
So in the video where they're showing the movie and the idea to try to get producers to buy into it
Hugh Jackman's there and the whole vocal staff is there and they're performing the piece and luckily they filmed it
It's not the popular 56 million view video
It's the one with less than a hundred thousand
But it's so authentic and it's so genuine and you really feel that the singer
believes in the lyrics and when I read that and when I you guys share with me parts of you that
You find out there express in music and you find that it might also sound beautiful with cello
I feel that we connect
so it's a beautiful song and
Made me cry. I have to admit
It did make me cry made me a little emotional and that's what I love. That's what I love about this channel
That's what I love about cello and that's what I love about YouTube
Making this international experience. I don't want to only make it an American experience or an english-speaking
Experience. I do want to make it a fully international experience because when you suggest things it makes this channel so much better
