She’s come a long way!

Considering her first cello was styrofoam and blue, she’s really becoming a fine cellist!

  January 2012

The girl “played” ANTS  at her first recital. 

  April 2012

By her second recital she was actually using her bow, and she played Twinkle var. A (just the first section). 

  November 2012

One year in, and she was finally playing Twinkle Theme

  April 2013

May Song for the fall recital (at this point, she’s starting to move through book 1). 

  November 2013

The girl nearly cried with joy when she got to pick Rigadoon! It was one of her favorites. 

  April 2014

In the fall of 2014, she graduated from level 1 by playing Minuet 1. 

  November 2014

Today the girl was poised and confident as she played Hunter’s Chorus. It was beautifully played!
