Cello!
My name is Billie. I became an official cellist in January 2009. Official meaning I got a cello. Does that make me still a beginner? Yes, for the most part. I have learned to play some intermediate music! What I basically want this blog to be is somewhat of an online journal of my journey of progression as a cellist.
My passion for music started around the time I was 7ish years old. At that time, I was taking lessons to learn to play piano. I don’t play piano anymore but according to my college degree, I am piano proficient! Next came the flute in 6th grade (1995). I still play the flute and have a big passion for it. Then comes the cello. (Notice I didn’t say finally, who knows what else I may pick up.) After graduation from college, I got a nice job that ends at 5 p.m. everyday. No weekends, sweet! I practice my flute, exercise, cook, watch TV, and pondered what else could I do after 5 p.m. If you haven’t noticed, I love a challenge. In thinking of a challenge I thought to myself ”What is something I love, yet completely different?” And then the light bulb came on…Cello! It’s music, it’s a string instrument, and it’s in bass clef. I haven’t done neither, well except piano has bass clef but remember, I’m only proficient. Something completely out of the box for me.
Now you’ve read the story behind the story.
