Scales, my dear. Scales are you greatest friend and enemy. Also, slow practice enables faster learning. Sometimes the most efficient way to learn something is to go slow. Do not get frustrated at the time it takes to learn it.
When I first started learning cello, this book was my best friend. It will help you learn your finger positions, as well as provide music for you to practice it with.
Good luck!!
What are your thoughts on when to start upping the practice time? I've been playing for 2 months now and just finished the first suzuki book (with a teacher). I'm practicing between 1-2 hours a day, sometimes a bit more, and could honestly throw more time at it if I wanted to but just don't feel like I have enough to work on at the moment. I've been doing 1-3 suzuki songs per week + 1-2 songs from the Position Pieces for Cello book, with a few 3-octave scales for warmup (C, F, Bb, G, D) each day
From what I've gathered, proper music students at university-ish level practice like 3-5 hours a day, but at this point I think I'd get bored practicing that much, even though I'd like to practice more because I'm so hungry to learn more.
