Hello ,

I am new here. My daughter 9 years old like to learn cello and she have no any music background before. She is about 4ft 5" , i need some of your expect opinion

1) what cello sizes should i buy for her as start/beginner for her height?
2) where can i get used cello in Malaysia preferable in selangor.

Looking forward to your feedback soon.

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for your advise.

Actually i am a mother. She at first wanted to learn violin so i show her on You tube the different sound of violin and cello and then later she decided cello. I personally like the sound of cello but i never push or decide for my childrens what to learn but i let them decide instead. So recently she told me she want to learn a music instrument and ask her what she want , she said violin. So I provide her and let her listen a few instrument include yoyoma so she later on decided cello.

I have just enroll her class near my place and subang jaya on violin so now i have to change her to cello. The school do cello as well. i should have find out this forum so i will get some advise before i paid the registration. And still i try to get a used cello first for her to start and when she is serious and play well i would upgrade her instrument. However, need to look after my pocket as well ...

My elder daughter 10 yrs had guitar lesson for beginner but she stop and now she decided to go back again. She said she want drum lesson after her guitar . I have a Pearl drum set at home but kept in store. I learned drum but just few lesson then i stop due to my work and hard to practise at home without sound proof . Neighbour may not like it.

Anyway, thanks very much for your reply. cheers!

Hello paramore, thanks for your reply. is okay i am not looking for teacher, i am looking for used cello.

i am not a musician, i do have some listening and most of time i wish i could play hhahaha , but i am a bit late to learn i suppose so i am happy my children are initiate want to know more about music, music takes lot of patient and passion and i think they are beautiful. Any instrument have their own beauty.

So dont worry about whether you get any support or not, know what yourself want and interested with are matters the most. At the end of the day, you live your own life...

i really admire you all as musician.. keep it up
cheers.

p/s : by the way, i am new here and i think i do not know well how to used the post reply , i could not see my own post reply!

Hello Paramore,
