One of
those nights . . .
Ever have one of those lessons where
you manage to be a complete clutz? While my playing was neither
particularly good nor bad, I had this horrible case of the clumsies
throughout the entire lesson. The pinnacle of the evening came when
I had to effect a quick change from bowing to pizzicato - rather
than simply alter my bow grip to pluck the string I actually managed
to fling the bow out of my hand such that it flew into the music
stand and ricocheted off it at a fantastic angle. Thank goodness for
carbon fiber bows! Sadly my cello did suffer a bit of a scratch, but
mostly it got my teacher laughing so hard, and myself in turn, that
we had to pause the lesson to regain some degree of composure. What
a night . . .

you mean it doesn't happen every lesson that you
and
your teacher end up in laughing fits over your
clumsyness?
mmmm... i wonder why it happens to me then

Lat night at my lesson, when I
started off my bow was shaking so badly my teacher asked me if I had
taken up smoking....in the end we put the shakes down to an excess
of coffee drinking the day!!!

aWW, Don't feel bad. I actually did
that in recital once - no pizz involved. Just an over-exhuberant
upbow. Bow went flying off- fortunatley no one was
hurt.

Wow! Okay, maybe it wasn't so bad
then - at least I did it in the privacy of my lesson, and my teacher
already knew I wasn't the most graceful . . .

flying
bow
I did it in the middle of a symphony
concert - and I was sitting on the outside! Goo thing the bow didn't
land in the audience.
