You Had Me At Cello: Sore thumbs...
http://youhadmeatcello.blogspot.com/2009/06/sore-thumbs.html
You Had Me At Cello. Or: how I learnt to play the cello. Sunday, 14 June 2009. After being oh so pleased with myself for my hour of practise on friday, I woke up on saturday with a SORE left thumb. I don't think it hurt while I was playing, although I did feel a bit achey afterwards. It was seriously painful until about lunchtime today, but has subsided almost completely since. 16 June 2009 at 18:28. I found your blog because I love prog rock. Just seeing who else does. Take care. 20 June 2009 at 02:52.

You Had Me At Cello: Lesson 10: New book
http://youhadmeatcello.blogspot.com/2009/06/lesson-10-new-book.html
You Had Me At Cello. Or: how I learnt to play the cello. Friday, 26 June 2009. Lesson 10: New book. Anyway the lesson was good, but at the moment I feel we have done more or less the same thing every lesson for the last 3 lessons, so it doesn't feel like there's much variation. However, I do have a new book to work from (which looks amazing): "Playing the Cello" by Hugo Cole and Anna Shuttleworth. Anyway less talking about cello and more playing to be done - I am off to crack out the new book! This week ...

You Had Me At Cello: March 2009

You Had Me At Cello. Or: how I learnt to play the cello. Thursday, 26 March 2009. Owwwwwww Just played for 40mins and my thumb feels as weak as anything. I am definitely getting the hang of it though, I sort of get what I am supposed to be doing. Sometimes the sound is alright, and I can just about get through a few lines of music without it starting to slide into awfulness again. So things are sounding promising, and I feel better than I did last night. I will play again when I finish for the day at 5pm.

http://youhadmeatcello.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
You Had Me At Cello. Or: how I learnt to play the cello. Thursday, 23 April 2009. Lesson 4: for free! I had my fourth lesson yesterday. My teacher phoned me earlier int he day and warned me tthat he was ing to be busy, but I can't go any other days (essay due friday) so i went along anyway. He was very busy, so i only saw him for a few minutes, and he said he wouldn't charge me which was nice of him. It seems so obvious now i know! Should you move your left hand when playing flats? So those were my quest...

My Cello Chronicles: February 2008
http://mycellochronicles.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
If you play shy you will not know your weaknesses. Play strong and you'll find them right away." Mstislav Rostropovich (1927-2007). Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Yes, I have now reached the full realization that keeping my fingernails short, real short, is not an option anymore. Gone are the days when I can just let my nails grow unattended! Well, keeping short nails doesn't really bother me so I'm trimming them at the rate of once per week. I certainly have to be more aware of my right hand. The good ...

During someday last week, I finished playing the Essentials Strings Practice book. But, as they say practice makes perfect, I am starting the book over again. yup, from cover-to-cover. Shelten, coming from the school of hard knocks, highly approves this. :p I have been noticing a couple of things about my playing recently:. I look funny when playing.

If you play shy you will not know your weaknesses. Play strong and you'll find them right away." Mstislav Rostropovich (1927-2007). Thursday, April 3, 2008. Musicality and Other Ramblings.

The bowing, the appropriate vibrato, mood when playing, understanding of the story behind the music, relating to the composer when he composed the piece, etc.and most certainly, the ability.
