How to sit down

The child holds a tuft of his hair and, while looking up, sits down without leaning forward.

The position of the instrument

• The child’s arm is relaxed and the cello is right in front of him
• The spike should be just slightly to the right, with respect to the pupil’s nose
• The instrument should be held to the left
• Head straight
• The child should widen his legs and bring the instrument
  towards him.

Sometimes a child cannot open his legs wide enough, so his left leg can stay under the instrument.
