Since Adam was busy, I had Clayton go over May Time with me since I wanted to practice it before having to play it for Adam.
I have to admit it was a COMPLETE DISASTER!!! I was having a lot of issues with string crossings again and I was getting a bad skating sound, and I hadn't practiced much on it, so we spent half the time working on May Time and the other half on practicing the Bflat scale.
I've found it's kind of fun going to sixth position, although it still sounds pretty awful and my shifting is still a disaster, but I feel like I'm actually moving around the fingerboard! Yaay!! Definitely a confidence booster!! :).
A beginner adult cellist's observations, musings, lesson notes, break throughs, practice logs and video logs. I have no previous musical background and the cello is my first instrument - and I'm totally loving it! :)
