Use that shoulder!
I like this short video by Cicely Parnas, all great tips – and especially about 20 seconds when the camera is on her side so you can see where she illustrates using her shoulder and larger muscles in a relaxed and connected way rather than relying solely on the fingers. Similar ideas to what Sophie said today in the shifting class, engaging that shoulder before the fingers! 👌🤌

Musical Nonsense!
I found this old comedy cello video on a whim and thought you guys would enjoy. A good reminder to not take ourselves too seriously 😜

How not to be boring when playing cello
I enjoyed this short video from Camden Shaw where he discusses shaping dynamics, and I thought it's relevant to our discussion this month and some food for thought!

The world of articulation (which does intersect with the variables)! Expressive articulation might be a nice Practice Room topic?

I'm right there with you, life gets in the way! I've found it helpful to set a regular daily time for practicing. Be sure to pick a time that you are not too tired from all of the other important things in life😉
