Cello Teacher:)

I have been playing the cello since I was 11, since I concentrated on the violin I neglected my responsibility to the cello, but now I realized that I wanted to become a cellist , because the sounds I have been carrying for so many years was from the cello.But you know , I kinda feel sad for my cello teacher because I study for free, so this time I will concentrate on it so he can be proud of me, you know I want to make him proud when I play as a soloist with orchestra and play the Elgar Cello Concerto. The reason I wanted to pick that particular concerto is because it is his lucky piece , he got in the philharmonic with this piece. You have probably asked , why is your cello teacher special?? , that is because , everyday in cello class , he does not only teach you cello but he also teaches more about life lessons and ways how to become a better person , this is something that my school teachers cannot teach me. He is somewhat like a best friend , but I would describe him more as a father because he guides all his pupils to the right path.I can say , he is the best teacher I have had in any academic subject that I have learned because I have learned more from him then my school teachers.

More and more I learn from my cello teacher , the more I become enlightened and become a better person, actually he even knows what I am going through than my parents , I even think he will be a great parent because he guides us as if were his children. My cello teacher is the most wonderful person in the world because he values the meaning of life and music. I have a lot to thank for , because everyday I am being cured from my depression slowly each lesson, he always tell me "Jervi,be positive , do not think negatively. "I appreciate him because he is a one of a kind teacher , because he does not get mad on a simple mistake instead , he makes you work on it harder, that is how I feel, but you know for 4 yrs not working on the instrument , it makes me think that maybe my cello teacher does not want to teach me anymore or something like that
but you know he is not like that, even though you do not practice , he can tell right through your eyes ehehhe. That is why I want it to make it up to him , I will promise to work hard on the cello, I promise.

It took me 4 yrs to realize that , he is teaching me more than the instrument , he teaches me life lessons and the value of life , art and music. Thank you cello teacher , you are able to cure my depression each lesson.

with admiration ,
Jervi Lopez

I will not forget you sir .You are part of my life that will remain significant and the lessons you teach will be there in your students heart forever.
