Is Cello Hard to Learn ?

It does require practice everyday, concentration and a good teacher to help you for a long term to get a good result. The result is from the amount of quality practice time with the instrument.

IMPORTANT THINGS



Is cello harder than piano?



It's depends on how you define “it's difficult”. Most of cello’s difficulty comes from the bowing technic and there are no fixed keys to determine pitch. With the piano, this is no longer an issue – but you’ll have other issues to contend with. For example, now you have to play separate tunes with both hands, requiring a different level of thought and technique. You need to practice your finger positions and postures to get the right tone each time. Cello is one of the most challenging instruments to learn because it does require some dedication. This is not an instrument that will give you instant gratification, like percussion or voice.
