Thank you Moonshadows. This particular song was in a key and had notes that I am comfortable fingering. The others were not as good. They were all worse after I turned on my camera to video it. I turn it on and, POOF, a whole lot of errors. Hopefully, doing this will help get over that. I am working on another.

@MoonShadows When I have a cello lesson, everything I practiced and improved on, and I can really feel I have improved with my cello since getting my new instructor, everything I worked on goes out the window. Everything he asks durning a lesson, in my mind, feels like a test. I cannot take a test, so, I cannot answer. It is really annoying. It still amazes me that I got a 99 on my Algebra exam in 7th grade because I left out a minus sign I knew had to be there. I actually think of that when I encounter this issue, but it doesn’t help me think, “You can do this.”

But, forms, questions about things in a cello lesson, all register as a test. Mind goes blank. My instructor is trying to help. Keeps telling me, very gently, “This is not a test”, LOL.

With a recording, or even playing in a lesson, that to me is a test too. People or a person, will see and/or hear me. Why? Who knows. At 65, I don’t think it will change, but maybe doing this with a group that is non-judgmental, and participating with Fiddlerman’s group projects, I will become more comfortable. Time will tell.

@BillyG I started a Holiday thread in the Breakroom. You can add videos there.

@BillyG That is fine with me. I didn’t think of a video. Will add one, too when I get home. Maybe you could invite others to post a Holiday video when they reply to the thread when you do yours. Thanks in advance.
