how long would you say it would take an extreme beginner to play this? like I haven't even gotten a cello yet but I plan on renting soon. like if I focused only on learning the notes in this song how long might it take?

[georgcello]

@bradynpage - I had once a student who wanted to play Dvorak concerto, starting with note 1, next lesson note 2. At note 1 I explained the rhythm system of the notes, counting, the names, the position, the handhold, the bowhold, posture, the dynamics, how to play them - he just couldn't do it. Full with a brain storm of information he followed my suggestion to go the common way. - You can always play simple songs beautiful!

were can u get this beautiful piece of music?

[georgcello]

@rawsushirollXx,

I use a transcription by Merle Isaac, edited by Carl Fischer in "Cellists Favorite Contest Album" (I have 2 other editions). I use like always a different fingering & bowing as all of them. I actually recorded this piece on CD, and like that recording more. G.

@bradynpage a couple years...

@georgcello

I play it from the same book. Nice pieces, but fingering in the most of them is really terrible. Inclusif Arioso :)

A beautiful piece of music, I am learning it on the guitar but you can't get the depth of feeling on a guitar that you get with a bowed instrument.

Thank you for taking the time to publish it on Youtube

well, to learn this, you have to learn tenor clef. that takes some time. and so does learning the shifting for the high notes. so, if you're an extreme beginner probably a year or two

@bradynpage

I'm an adult-beginner cellist, I started playing at 25. It's taken me over 3 and a half years of lessons to get to this point in the Suzuki cello books. With that said, I wouldn't start with this piece, but it would be a great goal to work towards.

[bradynpage]

@georgcello so this would -not- be a good beginners song to learn i see. :] thank you for helping me out there :D I'll try to learn all the basics before attempting to play this song :]]

thanks again :D
