I had the honor of getting a blog submission published at CelloBello https://www.cellobello.org (THE *free* resource for all things cello). This is a personal story but…
What a beautiful interview. I feel so hopeful about learning this instrument. I loved and needed to hear about the metronome practice. I love playing with drones and I am wondering about drone plus metronome practice together with scales. I love playing scales…(no joke) I am not a metronomic player and dearly needed to hear you talk about the metronome..the way you put it makes me want to try! I feel playing this instrument is synonymous with meditation…even with a metronome! This was a eureka moment for me!
