CELLO ISSUES: The harmful Orange cello students have been taught - from my online cello course

This video is part of my online cello course, collection "CELLO ISSUES":   / collections   -- So many cellists have been taught when they started to form their left hand in form of a lovely orange - in fact I was told that too! (Different names of the "orange" can be "an arch" or a "nice arch" (in German it can be an apple - wie ein Apfel oder auch "wie ein Gewölbe"). By getting older I observed that my colleagues still playing according to this lovely image have developed difficulties - difficulties playing at all and particularly playing in tune. This video explains the mistakes of a cumbersome and unhealthy technique introduced in order to offer something easy to remember, particularly for children.
