Went to my first rehearsal last night, really enjoyed it was surprised how well it went other viola did not come so I was on my own, which was a bit scary lol but everyone seemed happy with my playing and I really enjoyed it!!

Hebrides was very difficult though!!!

Did feel like my left arm was going to drop off after two hours of playing though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

How is your cello going?

Sorry Nicia, only just spotted this.

I visited iona on Wednesday, and tried a 'cello of hers. She guided me through the niceties of bowing, posture, fingering, pizzicato etc.

The result of that is, all being well, I'll get a 'cello over the summer, and start lessons with her after the summer holidays. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What I really liked about the 'cello, is how you could feel the sound right through your body! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Now all we need to do, once I'm up to speed on a 'cello, is grab a couple of violinists and do a quartetty thing at a future forum gig (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That would be brilliant (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Do we have enough clarinettists who also play strings to do a string quartet then pick clarinets up and play a clarinet quartet?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Off the top of my head, I can think of one other forumite who plays clarinet and violin (Appassionata), I can't immediately think of another violinist/clarinettist...

Aah, but we'd need you on viola. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Project for 2010 maybe? I'd say do it in Chester in September, but I don't think there are that many quartets around that have 'cello parts just on open strings... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Just thought of another clari/violin person : Morgan's Munchkin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

There will be : there's a thread in the events forum. I'm waiting for the closing date for Stalybridge (20th June) to pass before launching the event, with all the forms/website etc. It's on Saturday 19th September, and I'd love to see you there if you can make it Nicia (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/yay.gif)

I'll keep thinking of clarinet/violin people that could do it (I'm sure there's more than Appassionata/Morgan's Munchkin/nova), as we have the viola/'cello people sorted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . It'll depend of course on who can make the various events : I think you could count very easily as an adult learner on viola, which means you can qualify for Stalybridge and Teddington next year, as well as all the other events.
