@jacksonross7697 4 года назад

I've been playing the cello going on 30 years now, and Karen is spot on about all the fun different things you get to do when you play cello with an orchestra, from melodic lines, bass lines, plucking and more (often on the same page of music). So glad I thought to choose it when I was a kid, and this is about as good an introduction to what it's like to play one as I've seen, even including the finger calluses, keeping the end pen (spike) from slipping during a concert, having to think about how the cello contacts your body etc. (though I have to admit it had never occurred to me to play my cello with fruit...)

I love the cello. Currently I play the clarinet in 6th grade concert band. Since we only offer concert band and jazz band I can't play the cello. I was going to try and learn on my own time, however nor I or my family have money for a cello. Even if I got one, we couldn't afford lessons. I love my clariner, but the cello is so much more graceful and beautiful. Great demonstrations I learned even more than I already knew and I hope to learn more about the cello and other instruments as the years come.
