Hello cello world.
CelloJello is a blog to document my adventures of learning the cello at the ripe not-so-young age of 44 in Nashville, TN.
About three months ago, my nine-year-old daughter attended an introductory talk by the Williamson County Youth Orchestra. She came home excited about joining their beginner strings program. Next, we had to decide on an instrument. That part was fairly easy. My daughter, not being the hardiest of souls, was somewhat aghast to realize that she'd have to hold a violin or viola up on her shoulder for lengthy periods of time and have to stand a lot. When she realized with a cello she'd be able sit, the deal was sealed. The cello was the instrument for her.
To encourage her, I had the crazy thought that I might try it too. But more on that next post.
So why the CelloJello name? Just something silly we call my daughter when it's time to practice.
