Get a firm chair to sit in that allows your hips to be slightly higher than your knees. Sit with your back straight and tall; imagine that a string is attached your head and it's pulling your head up. Engage your tummy muscles to straighten your spine in your lower back. As you play, use your eyes to look at the strings. Try not to drop your neck to avoid injuring your neck in the long term. Spread your knees to make enough room for your cello. Bring the cello in and allow it to balance on its end piece while resting its sides between your knees. Face the cello out so its strings are away from you. You shouldn't grip the cello tightly with your knees; simply let it balance there. The Cello should lay evenly on both legs Allow the cello to lean back against you. Position it so that the top of its body reaches your chest and can rest there. You may have to adjust the endpin, or piece at the bottom that touches the floor, so your cello is the right height for you. Simply loosen the screws and slide the endpin in or out depending on if your need the cello to be taller or shorter, then tighten the screws again before standing the cello back up. Lean your cello back and position its neck in line with the left of your head. Hold the neck with your left hand and rest your right hand on your right leg. Right-handed and left-handed people hold the cello the same way. Using your left hand, angle your cello so its strings are facing slightly toward your right. This will make it easier to reach all the strings without slouching as you play. Check to see if any parts of your body feel tense or uncomfortable. If they do, you should make adjustments to your posture, the height of your chair, or the height of your cello until you are comfortable holding it.
