Hi Cello Friends,

PROGRESS REPORT

Almost 5000 views for Beethoven. And I am excited to report we have just crossed 200 cellists signed up for GCP #18 - yay!!

LIVE SESSIONS

These live practice sessions are really a blast…thanks so much for coming to them.  Next one is tomorrow. 

Each time, lots of really good questions asked and we sorted out a few little issues with the backing tracks and sheet music - a good reminder to make sure you’re always using the latest versions of the sheet music.  The errata has been updated and on your registration email, FOLLOW THE SHEET MUSIC LINK to the newest parts…The current version is “4 October” at the bottom of the page.

Here are the links for the recordings of today’s and Monday’s practice sessions:

PRACTICE SESSION 1  cello5

PRACTICE SESSION 2  cello4

TOMORROW LIVESTREAM - TIME CHANGE

I am in musical services tomorrow for Yom Kippur and so will need to start the live practice session at 1:30pm CST, which is a bit later than I originally planned. I hope you will still be able to join me - We will be playing through another part, as voted by the attendees, I’ll be taking a look at the trickiest parts as I see it, and I will be answering your questions on any aspects of the project.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Someone said it on facebook…this is a fast piece!   Yep.  No getting away from that. 
But there are some ways I can help!

I am soon releasing some reduced-speed backing tracks to practice and record to - just to take a bit of the pressure off!  Those of you who participated in Project #14 Danse Bacchanale will remember that we had a slower option for this project and it worked well - this is what I have in mind!!
Help is on the way, dear!

I hope you’re all keeping well and enjoying your practice and preparation for Danse Macabre.

With cello love from

Tony Rogers,
