Lucia and Tejbir prepared and performed their Book 2 recital recently. Here are their reflections on their exprience
~from Tejbir
I think it went well, expect when I got lost during Walt’s and played the 1st ending every time. I feel like my tone was nice and I like how Lucia was very confident about her pieces. I want to play with the piano recording more often so I won’t get lost when playing with the piano.
My favourite part was when me and Lucia played together, it helps us build our teamwork and makes it easier to work as a team instead of alone.I hope my upcoming recitals will be more successful then this one.

After a long year and a half of study, I finally attended the graduation ceremony for Suzuki Cello Book 2. During the practice process, there were times when I really wanted to give up, but my teacher always encouraged me to persist to the end. I practiced every single day and felt the charm of music deeply. Before the performance, I was both nervous and excited. I was afraid of making mistakes, yet eager to showcase the pieces I’d practiced for so long well. Although I made a mistake while playing, hearing everyone’s encouraging applause made me realise it was just a small thing.
I want to thank ms Silvia who taught me how to play the cello and always encouraged me to keep going Thank you to Ms Diane – she asked me questions in every class, and her guidance helped me apply what I’ve learned. I also want to thank Ms Sonomi, who filled my music with vitality. Next I’m going to embark on my journey with Book 3!
