I haven't had much to write about lately. Things have been pretty unremarkable. I've been practicing diligently, but frankly hadn't seen a lot of change from one practice to the next.
But the other night I experienced what I think is a step forward in my cello career. For the first time, I actually felt like a cellist. It's hard to explain the feeling, but basically things started flowing. The right arm and the left arm were working together, the intonation was above average and I was just able to play.
It was a big moment for me because I felt like I might actually be able to do this. Obviously I'm never going to a professional cellist, but I've begun to think I may not be hopeless. Lots of years of practice ahead, and I'll probably progress slower than most 7-year-olds, but such is life.
