3 Easy Exercises to Learn How to Play Cello in Second Position | Dotzauer-Klingenberg Cello Method

Today, we will explore the second position. I will show you easy, yet very effective exercises. We will learn the etude for 2nd position, and after that, I will show you very effective ways to make shifts to the second position. All of those exercises are based on the Dotzauer-Klingenberg cello method, volume two, exercise no.144 and the etude no.146, but I made a special edition with extra fingerings for you to download, so you don't have to go through many pages to find those exercises.

CORRECTION! The “flat sign” was missing in front of the “b” on the G-String and the “e” on the C-String in all the exercises. I fixed this error in the PDF score. Unfortunately, I can not correct it in the video.
