Is It Difficult to Play Cello? First Cello Lesson for Adult Beginners

How hard is it to learn how to play the cello for kids or adults? Is it hard to hold a bow? What is the most difficult cello technique to learn? How to learn to play cello fast? Why I can't play cello well? Can I learn to play cello after my first cello lesson or in an hour? Is it hard to play legato, staccato or pizzicato? What is a secret to play cello well?
This episode of Cello Stories is my answer to these and other questions you asked me in the past. I believe that there is no perfect way to answer these questions. We are have different paths, resources , abilities and environments to accomplish an immensely difficult task of mastering cello performance. I hope that my simplified way to talk about how to play the cello basics will be helpful for cello students to understand what to expect, encourage to take cello lessons with a good cello teacher, and help to boost confidence in yourself.
