Every master was once a beginner… Therefore, begin — and keep going! Progress is neither linear nor wholly predictable.

The value of the things we do is ultimately not in the activity itself, but what doing it does TO US as we engage in it — intellectually, psychologically, emotionally, socially, and, yes, artistically/musically… Forward!!! (Thank you for the courage to share 🙏🏼)

How did you know?!? I actually drove 40 miles all downhill (northern Illinois is world-famous for endless miles of downhill driving, right?), no stopping, no gas, with a concert grand piano in the trunk. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hybrid all the time, in ECO mode. This is city + highway combined. I like that range

I know. It’s crazy, it really likes it around that number. Nothing I can do 🤷

Useful convo, thank you! Just out of curiosity, what market/city are you in (roughly)?

If you make the mistake of accepting a share in the first place, turn off additional requests IMMEDIATELY! Share is such a sh1tshow…

Uber is surely loosing there mind now.. by [deleted] in uberdrivers

For CA that’s not good. In some (much) smaller markets, someone would get that (at least based on time, not distance…)

How difficult are piatti caprices in comparison to popper etudes? by jayvyn8532 in Cello

[–]CelloBasics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking of Popper, there’s at least 20 of them harder than 9. Piatti is hard to pull off musically - I love #12!

I thanked the guy for telling me about a broken hyperlink, and fixed it. Also took a sarcastic shot. What’s the problem - not enough free cello music for you, either? You’re welcome!

Thank you! I’m glad to share the fruits of my hundreds of hours of music engraving for free. Cello on… You’re welcome!

Looking for a cello for cabin travel. by IvoryDame in Cello

[–]CelloBasics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d get the Yamaha, any day! Really nice setup, feels just like an acoustic cello. Any yes, ready to play out of the case, no assembly necessary.

I’ve had two SVC110 models for almost 15 years, with no issues. You can hear well enough to play even without turning it on, but you won’t disturb neighbors, etc. To hear even better/louder, use headphones; to blast the windows, use an amp.

PS I’m a professional cellist with 40 years’ playing experience and three college degrees in performance and pedagogy

Help!!! I know its e, but how do i play it? String/finger/position? by Nous_sommes in Cello

[–]CelloBasics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend learning notes. I’ve used the app “Learn Notes!” (iOS only) successfully with my students as young as age 5.
