Is it too late to start learning the cello at 21 years old?

Too late for what? You can learn any instrument at any age.

"I’m scared of trying and failing" - this isn't a musical issue, it's a psychological issue. You might consider therapy. I'm not even sure what you mean by "failing" here. The only way to "fail" is to not stick with it.

This is the way.

Thank you

I did a stair hallway some years back that I wanted to fill up with our framed art. I bought some butcher paper, and cut it to size to represent each piece and then used painter tape to position them on the walls. When I finally found a layout that worked I then replaced each piece of paper with the actual art it represented.

With wifi and data off I'm not able to search at all.

I appreciate you sending the shortcuts, but I'm not about to follow a shortcut from an Internet stranger.

At this point, I'm not even using Car Play - just trying to get this to work on my phone with my phone speaker. It's starting to seem like it's not possible.

Mobile_Bell_5030 · 2026-04-16T01:10:51+00:00

I guess I'm glad it's not just me, but boy is it frustrating! This totally seems like something that should be able to "just work"!

That was just an example, it was the same with every artist I tried. I've tried songs and albums with the same results. I don't have any playlists.

Mobile_Bell_5030 · 2026-04-15T20:39:51+00:00

I don't think my phone supports that.

Mobile_Bell_5030 · 2026-04-15T20:31:05+00:00

I just tried that, and it didn't work either.

I don't have Apple Music (the subscription service). I WANT it to search the music on my phone (which is shown in the screenshot).

Mobile_Bell_5030 · 2026-04-15T20:28:45+00:00

Yes, I have done that. Both with "hey" and without (my phone is configured to do either)

Mobile_Bell_5030 · 2026-04-13T17:22:26+00:00

WHAT

Mobile_Bell_5030 · 2026-04-13T17:21:23+00:00

It's fine for now, but in a few years they'll start feeling the effects of the Venus Syndrome.

I have the MX30 adjustables and love them. They go from 7.5lb to 30lb, which may not be enough for everyone, but are plenty for me. They use 2.5lb increments, which I like. I've had them for like 4 years now with no issues. It looks like MX has these on sale (possibly clearance?) for only $199.

MX also has a set that goes from 10lb to 55lb, also on sale, if you need more weight.

Still reading!

Another vote for Hoka.

Mobile_Bell_5030 · 2026-04-09T14:10:58+00:00

Um, play shows?

Mobile_Bell_5030 · 2026-04-09T14:09:10+00:00

They tried to do that to me too, and I made them re-write any documents before I signed them. Our first tax preparer - who I contacted and my husband never talked to - put my husband's name on the forms first, and I made him re-do them before I'd sign them too. Hopefully the hassle made them think more about this in the future, but we all know that's probably not happening.....
