My New Cello Teacher!

I've been wanting to blog about this for quite awhile. But didn't have time. =)

Well, if you'll have read my really long ago post, I have stopped my lessons under my old cello teacher.

So we've been trying to find one for quite awhile, and finally, we manged to get a contact, but she couldn't take me in. So look-ee again.

Finally, we found another contact, and yeah! She agreed to meet with me, to like talk about some stuff and something. So last monday, we met up. Actually my mummy was the one who talked to her. lol.

And she took me in, thank God!

Unfortunately, I will have quite a hard time. Because, my position of the cello is not right, my vibrato is taught wrongly, and many other things. Phew! My mummy said this is part and parcel of changing teachers and life.

So, I shall have to "suffer" for awhile, and practice real hard, and hopefully, very soon, I'll be able to play with ease.

I was actually having A LOT of problems playing the cello. My right arm and somewhere near my right thumb, always hurt after playing the cello for awhile. My old teacher said that, my arm hurts like that, because, I tense up. And she said that I have to rest my whole arm on the cello, so that it won't hurt. But it's so impossible! It doesn't make sense one bit! When I rest my arm on the cello, my whole arm goes slack. So funny. XD.

Anyway, I'm hoping that my new teacher can tell me why I'm always having these kinda of problems.

I have been experiencing these problems for like 3 years already you know! Crazy. No wonder it always discourages me and I don't wanna practice my cello. Sigh.

Lord Jesus, firstly, I wanna thank You for providing me with a cello teacher. Also thank You for giving me a family to help support me, Thank You for my daddy, who works very hard each day to help support me and my family. And now that now my cello lessons are more expensive than before, I pray that you will help me to be really grateful for even getting a chance to learn. Please provide daddy with more jobs, as now the economy is not very good.

I pray that we will all learn to be grateful and contented with every little thing we have. Thank You that I even have a chance to learn music, when others who really long to learn, don't even have the chance. I pray that You will help me to be dilligent and hard working in improving and changing the stuff that aren't right. You know, it's so hard for me, as I have been playing like that for so long. It will need a lot of like "own-want-ness" to be like that. (if you get what I mean) So, I pray that I will be like good in working hard so that finally the hard work pays off. In Jesus Name I pray, AMEN!

Sometimes I wish I'm stubborn so that it will be easier. In this case, stubborn in the sense, stubborn to learn the right thing. Meaning, doing that something until you get it right.
