Learning in Public: Part 1

Two days ago I gave a concert in the village church. I was hoping to live stream it for anyone far away, but with no signal, that wasn’t possible. I did record it on a GoPro – you can see my skilled camera work in the pre-concert selfie above. (I am kidding- I stuck the camera to a pew and pushed GO) I tend to record everything! -and watching back as a good way to reflect and keep learning. Otherwise it is hard (or impossible) to really remember and take in what happened.

I have split the recital into three posts. This post is about sharing the recordings, Part 2 is a brief reflection on playing with your children (The Swan with harp and cello), and Part 3 is a critical commentary about the challenging aspects that come with performing advanced repertoire (Bach 6 for solo cello). I very much enjoyed playing to such an appreciative audience in the lovely ancient stone building that is our village church. You can see the performance for yourself below.
