Playing The Cello
Christian Cantu
History
When I was introduced to junior high, my mom was convincing me to join beginner’s orchestra. When I decided to join, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. And that was when the cello came into my life.
The beginning of a new era
When in the beginner’s orchestra, I learned a lot of stuff. For example, what the names of the strings are, how to move the bow correctly, and a lot of other stuff. I also learned a lot of rhythms and beats. When i came across my first concert, i became really nervous but i eventully got use to it as the years went by.
Advancing to the next level
My 2nd year in symphony orchestra goes well, First Chair every concert. Ever since I’ve been in the beginner’s orchestra I’ve learned a lot of stuff.
A bright future
Today in honors I’m 3rd chair, and also tried out for region orchestra. Sadly I didn’t make it. I look forward to be in orchestra for many years to come, and to try out for region all the years that follow
