1) Playing Posture - sit on the edge of your chair facing forward, feet flat on the floor, and straight back. You should almost be leaning into the cello a little bit. The neck should be on the left side of your head. - The angle of the cello should be about a 45 degrees. The lower peg should be directly behind your left earlobe. - The bottom of the "C Bout" should fit into the knee area on each side of the cello
2) Fingers on the Finger Board - Remember to keep the palm of the hand facing the cello neck ALWAYS KEEP A STRAIGHT WRIST - Fingers should curved at all times and not flat when you press down on the string so the meaty part of the tip of the finger should make contact with the string. - The thumb behind the neck should line up with your middle finger. - The thumb should be curved behind the neck so your hand is making a "C" shape - When pressing your fingers down make sure that the thumb is mostly relaxed. Use the body for resistance against your fingers when pushing down & not the thumb.
3) Bowing - Take your ring finger and place it over the metal piece of the frog then take your middle finger and place right next to your ring finger. The middle finger should be touching the bow hair. - Then take your thumb a place underneath the stick where it meets the frog. (your thumb should be slightly curved at all times) - Your pinky should come over the stick and lay flat in the middle of the frog - Your index finger should spread out over the stick so it lays between your first and second knuckle - The fingers should fall straight down over the wood, like a waterfall and be very curved at all times.
