Playing Cello

So, it appears that I have been told to talk about playing the cello today. Playing cello is about coordination between your left hand and your right. It is about learning how to move your wrist without moving your arm.

Probably the first thing I had to do when learning the cello was gaining enough strength in my left arm to actually be able to hold down the string when playing the notes. After that, it was important to develop enough control over my right arm to not sound really wispy or crunchy when playing my notes.

After a little while, I got to the point of consistently being able to hold the strings down in first position, and being able to kinda-sorta read the notes when there was a finger above it.

And that was when I was put into GGP. I could not read any of the notes on the music. I was stuck. It took me a good couple weeks to get used to it. After three more months, I finally managed to get a good grip on intonation so it did not sound really bad whenever I played. I do, however, have a long way before I can play this.
