celloI've traded my pair of running shoes for a bow and cello.
yes, I'm currently learning how to play the cello in TP's Chinese orchestra! my first lesson started today and the 1st hour was spent learning how to hold the bow properly, this caused my fingers to cramp, especially my thumb was immobilized for a minute!
pauline: andrina! you're playing the wrong string!
me: oh oops! again? sorry! I'll try to play the CORRECT one!
it was kinda embarrassing, being told that many times that I was playing the wrong string! and kinda scary when the teacher used a bow to correct our posture and very intimidating when he reaches for my scrawny fingers with the bow to correct my fingering!
at the end of 3h, I've learnt how to play A,B,C,D,E,F,G plus a few sharps! the teacher even complimented us, 3 girls that we are fast learners! not bad huh. *toast to an enjoyable time of learning to play the cello!
