cello love.  — 1 week ago

i would love to do this, im sure i wouldnt be GREAT but decent is fine. i have always been drawn to woodwinds and strings {exept guitar} but now im playing trumpet {go figure} in the school band. i want to play the cello and violin equally but only a violin class is offered at the school i go to, so this year im gonna learn to play the violin and after that im going to move onto cello if all goes well.

wish me luck!

Worth doing!

People, it’s a great instrument…

And I know that it’s not easy when you have 20 something, or 30, and you have a job, some other responsabilities and you’re short on free time, but, it’s music! It makes you happy… And believe me that when you achieve the goal that you want, every difficulty seems so little compared with what you just experienced with your cello… That part is magical. It’s really something. I guess it’s the same with other instruments, but when you have a special thing for cello, what can you do? One of the, if not THE best instrument in the world!

I am partial to string instruments. I’ve played guitar and drums for many years, but have recently had a desire to learn the cello. I love it’s deep, soothing sound.

I played the violin many, many years ago, but I’m drawn to the sound of the cello much more and I have found I am much happier when pursuing something new!

I started lessons two weeks ago! I think my teacher thinks it’s a little weird that I’m 20 years old and just now learning, but who cares. I guess I’ll check this off after I can play decently.

I've always wanted to...  — 2 months ago

I wanted to learn when I was a kid and my parents gently nudged me towards violin. I still wish I had nudged back to get my own way!

Well, I’ve been studying for about 2months now. Slow but steady progress. I just wish my fingers were stronger and didn’t tire so easily.
