@cellistwendylaw: 🎼 17 Cello Practice Habits Juilliard Students ALL Share 🎶👀 It’s not talent that gets you progress, it’s habits. Here are the ones every serious cellist develops ⬇️ 1. Daily scales - the foundation for intonation + finger agility. 2. Open string tone practice - to train bow control + resonance. 3. Slow practice - the fastest way to fix mistakes. 4. Left-hand relaxation - no squeezing, no tension. 5. Bow speed control - learning to balance weight, speed, and contact point. 6. Rhythmic drilling - locking in time with a metronome. 7. 🚨 Structured warmups - CRUCIAL. My 7-Day Warm-Up Plan inside the Vault gives you the exact sequence to follow daily. 8. Listening while practicing - becoming your own best teacher by actually hearing what you play. 9. Mental practice - rehearsing passages in your head before you touch the cello. 10. Section isolation - fixing the hard parts instead of running the whole piece. 11. Proper posture while practicing -staying free of tension so your technique lasts. 12. Consistent practice times - small daily sessions beat random marathons. 13. 🚨 Structured planning - my 30-Day Practice Planner inside the Vault keeps you focused + accountable. 14. 🚨 Performance run-throughs - CRUCIAL. My Confident Performer Playbook inside the Vault shows you exactly how to prepare. 15. Active listening while practicing - noticing shifts, bow tone, and dynamics in real time. 16. Recording yourself - the fastest way to catch what you don’t hear in the moment. 17. Reviewing + refining daily -practice isn’t just reps, it’s reflection. ✨ #7, #13, and #14 are the game-changers. Skip them, and you’ll stay stuck. Master them, and your tone, confidence, and progress skyrocket.
