The 3rd WALTHAM FOREST CELLO FEST 2021 in London

CELLO WEBINAR 1
- In his first online webinar about cello technique, Belgian cellist Stijn Kuppens will speak chronologically about the following topics:
* maintenance of your cello and bow
* how to handle your cello - the parts of the cello
* tuning with a tuner
* buy a cello or rent a cello?
* the quest for a cello
* the setup of a cello
* replacing a string - the importance of good strings
* about the cello bow
* winter problems for cellists
* the sitting position of a cellist
* the position of the cello
In his view, cello playing starts with having the right material, knowing how to sit and knowing how to handle your material. This webinar is interesting for people who never played cello, but who are interested on how to get starting, for absolute beginners, for people who play a few years, and for amateur cellists who plays since a longer while, but want to go a moment back to basics.
The webinar is subtitled in English. With support of the Diplomatic Representation of Flanders to the UK. Free admission, donations welcome.
