I love this picture, at little dramatic, but it captures to me what Cello music sounds like.Lately my days have been a balance between getting our old house ready for sell (lots of painting & deep cleaning), unpacking at our new house and just trying to keep up with the kids. That alone fills my day until I tuck them into bed. While putting the girls to sleep I have to lay next to Bella to get her to sleep. We have been listening to Cello music (mainly Yo Yo ma) and while lying in the dark and only hearing that sound of the cello I was reminded how much of a desire I have to learn the instrument. It's one of the sounds besides the violin that can both inspire and bring a tear to my eye. I've always thought what it would be like to be able to produce a sound in which would do the same to someone else. So, I rented a cello. What a beautiful sight. Everytime I open the case I get excited about playing it. I'm basically teaching myself through books and other websites like utube and monkeysee. Unlike the violin people don't mind hearing me practice because it has such a nice low tone. Bella insists that I wear a hat of some sort while playing. I don't know why, but she's silly like that. The other day she made me wear a safari hat. I love diving into new things, I think it's important to prove to yourself from time to time that most things are possible if you want it bad enough.

Sorry Joyce I didn't realize you had posted until today. I checked your blog the other day but it must have been messed up. Thats great that you want to learn the cello. It seems like a fun instrument to play. good luck
I agree. The cello is an amazing instrument. Thank you for being an inspiration by following an impulse to develop a new talent. You never really know until you try!
That is the one thing I have always loved about you Joyce...you are always finding new way to improve and learn and make yourself better. You have the ability to not be afraid to try something new!
Love ya!
