Cello Cognition: The playing never stops!
http://cellocognition.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-playing-never-stops.html
I am an adult beginner cellist. These are my thoughts on learning to play. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. The playing never stops! OH so much has happened since I last wrote. The end of my last year was not so fun, so I am going to condense that part into one sentence.I was injured, sick and then injured again and as a result couldn't play for three months. There. Now onto the good stuff! A couple of very important things happened that changed the way I played and how I was learning. I changed music teachers.

I am an adult beginner cellist. These are my thoughts on learning to play. Wednesday, August 6, 2014.

Last week we also picked...

I think the pieces have improved, but there is still work to be done. Lee op 70 no 11 (Schroeder #17). Tempo is getting better, but try getting more to the tip of the bow. Listen to the tone.
