cellodreams: June 2007
http://cellodonna.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 30, 2007. A sticky situation at orchestra. Entering the high school band room where our pops orchestra practices. It feels like a sauna in here.". It was so hot and humid you could taste it. And it tasted like "school." The oscillating fan didn't help much except to occasionally blow the sheet music off the stand. Was it the heat? An accumulation of rosin? Contact with the unidentified sticky substance lurking on my music stand? Fortunately I was able to clean the fingerboard and neck when...

A compliment that same night on my playing from first violinist R. Maestro instructing me to "die faster" on the final note of. Venturing Through the House. One of the original horror movie pieces we'll be recording (more info on that to follow in a future blog entry). Feeling good about taking a much-needed break from my cello lesson this week.

cellodreams: April 2007
http://cellodonna.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2007. S " Lousy lesson. Post today, I started to think about all the variables that are present when we sit down to play the cello. Considering all the possible combinations and permutations of endpin length, chair height, cello angle, music stand height, bow hair tension, tuning, room acoustics, lighting, and atmospheric conditions such as temperature and humidity, is it any wonder that we encounter difficulties in our playing and performing? It's doubtful that we. Most importantly,...
