It don't mean a thing...

...if it ain't got that swing.  This is how I'm feeling about my cello right now.  I'm able to play the notes (sometimes) but just not feeling the music.

Practice sucked last night.  This one part I played over twenty times and still could not get the whole phrase right. I could play the individual parts but together I kept goobering it up.  Also, Warming up and playing scales tone was sounding good-it sounded like a real cello!  But I cant seem to remember to do those things when it gets busy.

I know my lack of time to practice is contributing to my frustrations as well.   But life as a working adult is demanding sometimes.  It's tough sometimes to find the right balance.  I think I can squeeze in 30 mins tonight.  I know I need to but just not looking forward to the frustration.  With vacations and schedules my next lesson is over two weeks away.  I guess that's par for the summer.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to post something more positive.
