New post!!!11!

Well it's been awhile!

For the few that have read this blog, (if any), the reason I don't post much is cause so much is happening at once! It's hard to find time sometimes :/ Full time study + part time work, and 'cello practice ;)

Anyway, things have really improved in the time since I last posted. This is my 4th month of cello playing I feel the progress I've made so far is pretty good. I'm most happy with the improvement in tone I've had recently, as since I've started to forget about the left hand and solely concentrate on my right, I've noticed bowing and (strangely) intonation have improved greatly. Nearly every note I is sounding in tune and with a nice tone to back it up. I still have trouble with fast and awkward string crossings, and co-ordinating the two hands, but with any luck these should be ironed out soon.

The biggest problem I face is repertoire. I'm really stuck for interesting pieces of music at my level. I'm a bit bored of playing old folk tunes and songs, I'd rather have some solid music that I could perform.

Anyway, just thought I' should probably post.

Peace out x.
