The girl has really been working hard on her cello.  She practices every morning and has been enjoying learning piece after piece!  She’s been learning fancy bowing techniques (slurs and hook bows), and shifting!  She is on the last piece in book one, and loves to tell people that she is learning Bach.

In addition to all of her usual work, the girl has been working hard to prepare for a wedding! She’s going to play for our good friend’s wedding in the mountains of Virginia next weekend. Today, while we were practicing, she told me that playing in a wedding “is (her) first dream coming true!”

I’m sure it will be wonderful! Let’s hope the cello makes it through all of the air travel!
