Advanced Cello Warmups - How to begin an efficient practice session

Описание: This is a video I made breaking down my own personal warm-up packet that I have been using for several years as well as an explanation of how I practice using it. I put the packet together my Junior year of college when I needed something easier to carry around and keep me focused but never get bored. The video is shot in a live fashion and was meant for instagram but ended up being too long haha. There are a million ways to warm up and achieve technical facility on the cello... this is just what has worked for me. I usually do 30 minutes of warmups. 10 minutes scales and 10 minutes of alternating days of arpeggios and thirds (played with drone.) Then 5 minutes of Left Hand and 5 minutes of Right Hand.
