Fingeratively Speaking

Good fingerings are very important for good cello playing.  Some passages are impossible with a poor fingering but relatively simple with a great fingering. 

​

A good cello fingering can:

1) Save many hours of practice time

2) Allow a passage to be played at higher level of quality (in terms of cleanliness, intonation, etc.)

3) Help to prevent a number of mistakes during a performance.

 

My unique book on the topic, Cello Fingerings: Improve Your Left-Hand Game discusses the topic in a comprehensive manner, but now there is a series of free videos for a visual demonstration of the fundamental aspects of cello fingerings.
