Happy #CelloTipTuesday, my dolls! For this week's video I have a scale cycle exercises for beginner cellists that spans one octave and covers C, G, D, and a NEW key of F major! If you're revisiting this video, the exercise begins at 3:28 👌🏻! Having a scale warmup routine is very important, and this exercise is slightly more challenging than Part I. The metronome is a few clicks faster, and we added in some eighth note rhythms, but Celli & I have faith in you and can't wait to help you practice!

Here is the exercise written out, in addition to the intro I provide in the video. We begin with C major, but as you get comfortable you can keep this pattern and start on a different key for variety & an extra challenge:
-C major: Slurred half note pairs (repeating the note as you change bow)
-G major: Slurred half note pairs (changing the note as you change bow)
-D major: One half note, followed by 2 slurred quarter notes
-F major: Slurred quarter note pairs
-C major: Four slurred quarter notes per bow
-G major: One quarter note, followed by 2 slurred eighth notes
-D major: 2 slurred eighth notes, followed by one quarter note.
