The only way to get myself to stop
fighting bass clef is to do my theory exams.
I avoided these like the plague when I
did my flute exams – I never even received my certificates for grades 6-8
because I hadn’t completed the theory portion. It kind of falls into that great
vat of fear-inducing things that also includes ‘Maths’ and ‘Budgets’. Which is
a bit silly because I quite like theory when I understand it.
This weekend I’m going to pick up a
metronome (my 20 year old one sounds like it’s been run over by a truck) and
some theory workbooks. I sound like a bundle of fun don’t I?
But I must be fun in cello learning mode
because Christopher, my husband, has decided to join ELLSO with me in the
autumn, also playing cello.
This will be interesting.
