One of the things that I both enjoy and hate about golf is that it's a lifelong process. No matter how good you get, you can always improve. Additionally, golf is an absolute symphony of muscle movements and coordination. As one swings, one is constantly making small adjustments.
As I started my cello career, I quickly found that cello had many similarities to golf. It's clear that even after only a handful of lessons, that one can never consider themselves "finished" with the cello. Additionally, the coordination required for left-hand and right-hand is immense, and I've only scratched a tiny bit of the surface.
While the realization can be daunting, it's also refreshing. It's great to know that my new interest holds a lifetime full of possibilities and there will always be new challenges.
I'm grateful that my instructor seems to be doing a great job setting me up with a solid foundation. We spend a great deal of time on posture, hand position, lack of tension and the like. I think that's going to serve me well for the rest of my career.
