About Me
Hi there! My name is Hannah (obviously) and I'm learning to play the cello!
Now, for a little background: I'm a lifelong musician. I've played piano since 2007 and I've played guitar since 2012. I started voice lessons in the fall of 2018 as well.
I've been infatuated with the cello since I can remember. I remember going to see a symphony and being in love with the violin; the first time I heard the cello, I was hooked. Some of my favorite CDs growing up were Yo-Yo Ma and Jacqueline du Pre; Piano Guys also hold a special place in my heart.
Last year, I made a resolution to myself that I would find a cello before the end of the year. I did! On December 31st, 2018, I brought home my first cello, a Cecilio 100 I lovingly called Cecily.
In early February, my Cecilio unfortunately died an unfortunate, unpreventable death that was caused by the manufacturing of the instrument. I went to a reputable luthier who suggested I store the instrument and use it for an art project and rent a student cello from them. While it's much more expensive than my $400 find, this instrument is SO MUCH easier to play. It's an Eastman VC95 hybrid; my luthier put on his favorite tailpiece, etc. I named this cello Aurelia Dawn.
I've been playing for 9 weeks today and I want to write more about that, but for now my laptop is almost dead! :)
