The Metallica covers, you know, there’s not so much of the distortion on that one yet, more authentic cello sound…

I’m going to leave that mirror comment alone, but still: I bet your mother-in-law has a secret stash of Apocalyptica cds. She says “Reflections” is her favorite, but really it’s the Metallica covers.

i can believe your mother-in-law without having heard you play. a long time ago, after my husband and i were first married, or maybe just before, i helped him distribute flyers advertising his business-at-the-time, and spent probably 10 minutes standing in the dark of an apartment hallway, unable to make myself leave due to someone’s cello practice.

it’s nice that the unique music of your particular house became something she liked, you know? even though i’m a non-hospitable person due to anxiety dorkness, i’d always wish i had a home that others wanted to “be” in. good show.

Also, as I attended my son’s chorus recital and the same show had the schools excellant jazz band with some great horn players.

I was thinking, singers and a horn section, why aren’t they playing some Ska songs?

Ahh, grasshopper, you must turn things around on your instructor. Bring a recorder and say that you would like to record him playing only the piano part so you can practice with it at home.

See if he can really play the piano part without the help of the cello. Perhaps the master relies on the student also.

Or perhaps the master really knows what the heck they are talking about and you should keep taking lessons.

One or the other..

they sell really really cheap pine frame mirrors at ikea, if you want to watch yourself with the bowing. i mean, i’m assuming your the morlock here, right? just because you drag your cello knuckles on the ground is no reason to bow anything but perfectly horizontally.
