Cello Basics 23: Your First Scale - G Major Scale | Ailbhe McDonagh

Описание: In this lesson, we learn how to play your very first scale in the Cello Basics series: the G major scale. We explore what scales are, why they are essential for learning the cello, and how to practise them with confidence and good technique.

In this video, we look at the best approach to learning a new scale, from memorising the fingering, to understanding whole tones and semitones, to recognising each note of the G major scale. We also explore different bowing styles for scale practice, including slurred bows and staccato.

In this video, you’ll learn:
► What scales are and why they matter for cellists
► How to learn a new scale step-by-step, starting with fingering
► Understanding whole tones and semitones in G major
► How to play scales with different bowings, including slurred and staccato

This is part of the Cello Basics series with Ailbhe McDonagh designed for beginner cellists who want a clear, step-by-step introduction to learning the cello.

All the videos in this series were produced in 4K resolution and include YouTube's multilingual captions.
