Tips For Becoming A Concert Cellist

By Marisol Guy


The life of a concert cellist is one of hard work, passion, and determination. The greatest musicians of all time were not born great, they worked hard for it. While many of the best cellists in the world may not be as well known as other musician, do it for the love of the instrument, and not for world wide fame. The competition among them is high, and the roles are few. This makes for a small group of exceptionally talented individuals to compete with.

Many of the greatest and most talented musicians out there all started at a very young age. This is because the minds of young children are the most flexible. They pick things up much more easily than adults and can learn new skills a lot faster. While they can learn faster there are not many toddlers who are interested in music or learning a new instrument, that is why they should be exposed at an early age by parents and influential adults around them.

Finding a teacher to teach the cello is important in determining the quality of the music that will result from them. While there may be many teachers willing to teach cello, it is important to find one that is talented, passionate, and has achieved a level of success on their own. Any cello teacher can teach the basics, but one who is successful and talented can teach with a passion that will show in their efforts.

No one ever became great without practice. Most people are capable of learning different skill, But to master them, to perfect them, this takes time and effort, not to mention continuous repetition. It can take years to become great at something. To become great a concert cellist must practice everyday, continually set new goals for themselves, and strive to reach the level of the ones better than them.

Without a suitable piece of equipment, the quality of music that can be made will always be substandard. This is why the investment in a quality instrument is important to a successful career. Even the best would sound amateur with a instrument that is not up to their standards.

Audition as much as you possibly can, as soon as you feel you are good enough to play for audiences. You may not be good enough to get the role but the exposure you will get will help you to gain the confidence you will need to get roles in the future. This can also be a great way to get feedback from experts to help you improve your skills.

There have been many individuals who could have been great, but gave up to soon. Without a continuous effort there can be no success. If someone wants to be the best, the only way to achieve it is by trying until they do.

For a concert cellist life is music. The instrument is their vehicle into the future, and the only way to drive it is through constant effort and a strong passion for the music. At the end the results are a beautiful sound and a successful career.
