Tina Guo

My second awesome discovery of the day is Tina Guo. What an amazing young woman. What an amazing sound ! I love the cello and I love what she does with it. Amazing ! www.tinaguo.com is her website .( i'm having trouble with links today :)) )

www.tinaguo.com

"When I play my cello, I am completely pure, naked, and open. I long for the moments when my outer shell no longer matters. I hunger for every genuine tear of sorrow, joy, or understanding shared. When you can hear me for who I am, and see me in a way that doesn't involve looking at me, but rather looking through me, only then can I be satisfied.

When I play, I see ghosts. I am only aware of undiluted emotions manifesting; those that arise from the tribulations of life and of death, of the most beautiful love and the most heart wrenching grief. The same purity of feeling that has inspired every creator of art, of music; every human being that has ever dreamed of an ideal, lives in the flowing melodies. Expression through an abstract is blessed in its form to be free from the stains of reality.

When I make music, I rediscover my identity. Not a daughter, a sister, a lover, nor a friend, but only one soul connected to every other person that has walked the earth.

I ache to show you what is inside my heart. I ache to be understood. I ache for all of us to understand our humanity. I ache to tell the world an eternal story. Watch me, hear me pray in the only way I know how."

WOW !

My daughter played the cello during her high school years. It is a beautiful instrument.

Yes it is. Does she still play now and then ?

I love the way this girl writes about her music and how she crosses over from classical traditional to rock and modern.

Sadly, she does not play the cello any more. Or any other instrument. Daughter has lovely, long fingers for playing wind instruments though.

Long fingers are also good for the piano.

What makes people learn to play and instrument and then stop ?

I said I wanted to learn to play the piano and my parents bought me a second hand piano. This was when I was 6. My little hands couldn't reach an octave which meant I was already limited. One of their friends taught me to play. I quite enjoyed it , but did not have the discipline required to practice every day... boring finger exercises and the like . It wasn't free enough. By the time I was 14 it became a drag as I was interested in other things.

Still, I learned to read music and play a few pieces , which still feels good.

I too love the Cello; many decades ago when a student of music at McGill University, my very dear friend Bob Bardston practiced his scales in my bedroom in an apartment I shared with Valerie Kinslow in Montréal.

Thanks for sharing our Mira; always a pleasure to have time to take in your posts. Hugs... Hug 6
