Hello cellochan,
We're ready for another year together, exploring how to find the music while sitting, and yet moving, at the cello. I encourage everyone to watch, listen carefully, and move freely when playing. Save some time at the end of your practice to "just play." In fact, Janos Starker says "Most people are still practicing when they perform." His suggestion: "Put a blind fold on if you have to, or play in a dark room for a short time every day." The larger "viewer" in our mind's eye will gradually learn how the process is a flowing one and can only truly work once we are free. See you soon.
