Hope you had a great Christmas! ;)...Hey Thaddaeus!<br /><br />Hope you had a great Christmas! ;)<br /><br />Yeah, cello-ing has been slow for me too. It's harder to keep motivated with no cello teachers around. I always think, "I'd better have this by the next lesson," but now, I don't have the urgency to get much done. ;)<br /><br />By the way, thanks for the tip on focusing on the pinky on the upbows - that has COMPLETELY and drastically improved my upbows! I was hardly using my pinky at all...oops...<br /><br />Have a wonderful New Year too, and get some cello-ing done! =pGemini Cellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883738004233218440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368739163556879673.post-49812234753190056372011-12-28T05:06:03.222-07:002011-12-28T05:06:03.222-07:00hey there, juz wanna drop by to say hello since it...hey there, juz wanna drop by to say hello since it has been ages last time i commented something here :)<br /><br />Cello-ing for me has been a little slow lately now that i am all tied up with moving out to new house and not to mention my one and only teacher is on vacation - only 1 class in this whole month! <br /><br />Even though he left me with plenty to practice, i share your concern on practising something that might be incorrect. I am left with this 'barely-moving-chicken wing' bowing (cannot remember the name, sorry :P detache or something) to practice on superfast Czardas' allegro vivace - which is very easy to get wrong, technically, and now i am a little worried and try to dodge myself from practising!<br /><br />On a bright side, I am forced to revisit my basic bowing when i feel like cello-ing, which I am pretty sure how ( I hope!) and glad to find more and more weaknesses and flaws to improve upon. <br /><br />Much like you, I am now experimenting where to bow on and found out that on my A string, it sounds better when i bow near to bridge - not the sul ponticello close though! Now that really helps my Air on G-string sounds way better :)<br /><br />Anyway, Happy Xmas and New Year :) Looking forward to a better cello-playing year ahead :D Oh, and your Allegretto and Andantino vids too :Pthaddaeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148859973275353684noreply@blogger.com
