Goals: Part 2

Lately, I've felt this need to learn a new skill(s) along with losing my baby weight.  The skills that I've decided to try to learn are playing the piano (which means lots of practice) as well as learning to play the cello.  I had played when I was in sixth grade until I went to a Merry Miss activity for church and someone placed it at the top of their stairs (Yep.  You guessed it.) and down it came breaking the bridge along with the front body of the cello.  Ever since then I wanted to pick it up again.

Brian is so good to me!  On a whim I decided to check the local ads to see if I could find a cello for a reasonable price.  I actually found one for $350!  It came with everything!  For that price I got the cello, bow, rosin, a polish, a collapsible music stand and cello stand, an instruction manual along with some sheet music.  I was ecstatic!  The cello was even in perfect condition!

Isn't it pretty?!?

Brian and I took turns practicing with it.  Surprisingly, he started playing Merry Had A Little Lamb just by ear and he's never played before!  What a show-off!

I had heard from a friend of mine who is also in my stake that they know someone in their ward who teaches cello, so I will definitely look into that so I can start playing!  I'M SO EXCITED!
