Well, a little while ago, late August or early September, I switched to hour long cello lessons, but was alternating with every other week being an hour long violin lesson. Worked well for a very short period of time. My cello was not very difficult at that time, so it was working nicely. How quickly things change, and I don't handle change well.

Now my cello has lessons have advanced in difficulty, as noted in a couple recent posts, and I have switched back to cello every week for an hour. I need the lessons every week, now. Who knew there would be tenor clef? Never heard of it. Plus, we are moving up the fingerboard (actually quite neat), further up the fingerboard to thumb position (again neat). I just had no idea about any of this, so I need the weekly lessons.

I am going to continue with my violin with what I was learning and the same system my instructor was using, and do it on my own. If I get to a point with my cello that I can go back to every other week again, I will again add my violin. I might do the fiddle music on my violin, using FiddleDeeDee. I have to get my fiddle books spiral bound, though, so that I can actually use them. I can't even make PDF's so I can put them into forScore so I can use my large pad with the binding they have.

So, my cello is taking priority now. I called the music shop last Wednesday and let them know. I bet my instructor was pleased. His main instrument is cello. He played his cello with me playing my violin. That was actually a nice way to do it, though. It was more helpful than the violin being played while I played my violin.
