Cello lesson #17
My lesson with C.F. was encouraging yesterday; sometimes I just have to consider my lessons with him as intensive practice. Whether I’m ready to acquire new skills or really need to go over and over certain passages, I count the hour well spent if I’ve been making music.
Oh, and I wanted to show you what happens when you don’t practice enough:
I think the spider web doesn’t show up, but boy, this little guy was trying to weave a fast one on me!

I once had a cockroach climb out of a cello that had been sitting in a school instrument locker all summer. It’s easily 20 years on, and I play my cello every day, but I still find myself checking the f holes for another horror. Beautiful blog!

Hi Emily!
Thanks for the compliment–and yikes. My little spider’s cute in comparison to your cockroach!
