Everything has a learning curve, and every day is a “Skool” day! 😅 You lovely cellists are my first community on this platform, so I’m also learning how Skool works. I’ve realised that you don’t see the main group rules when you join, so I’ve now pinned a guidelines post for full clarity (in Chit and Chat). I’ve also created a new category where you should (hopefully?!) be able to directly upload your own videos of what you’re learning, to share your progress! Please don’t embed links from other platforms. Please do check out the guidelines, and remember that engagement in the group means you get access to more things! Any questions, don’t hesitate to give me a shout. (And let me know what you’re currently working on!)

This is a curated learning space. Please read before posting or commenting! 1️⃣ Cello Comes First This is a cello-focused community. If your post isn’t related to learning, playing, or improving on the cello, it most likely belongs elsewhere. We love multi-instrumental humans 😉 - but this room is for cello growth. 2️⃣ Kind, Constructive Energy Only Encouragement is welcome, as is constructive feedback. ✅ Ego, sarcasm, superiority, or tearing others down, is most definitely not welcome here. ❌ If there’s a concern, message an admin directly. 3️⃣ No Self-Promotion or Link Dropping This is not a marketing space! Please do not share: • Your YouTube channel • Your paid offers • External promotional links If you’re proud of something you’ve learned or played, share it directly inside the community as a video upload - not as traffic redirection. This keeps things clean and focused. 🙂‍↕️ Posts and comments that feel promotional will be discretely removed. 4️⃣ Participation > Passive Harvesting This is a community, not a download vault. You don’t need to post daily, but engagement really matters, and helps create more flow in the group. 😍 Please: • Ask questions ❓ • Share progress 📈 • Support others 🙌 That’s how the Cello Lounge grows beautifully. 5️⃣ Protect the Vibe This is a calm, focused, joy-led learning space. Disruptive behaviour, repeated boundary-pushing, or ignoring guidelines will result in removal. No drama, no warnings, full discretion. Thank you so much for being here! 🤩🥳

Happy Friyay everyone! I just wanted to let you know I've been uploading some mini courses to the Classroom space - it's a series of 7 Day Goals to help and support you with confidence performance, technique, skill, and remembering to enjoy playing! 😅 All of these mini courses are available on the Premium tier. HOWEVER, just like you get to see my sheet music before upgrading via the monthly featured drop, I've added one of the 7 Day Goal Series courses as an unlockable freebie for you! As part of the Skool platform, every time you engage in a post, you receive "points" and begin to level up (I think at the time of posting this, I'm Level 2?). The more you engage, the faster you unlock the freebies. :D So, the mini course "Relax, Breathe, Perform" is now available at level 2, which means you get to see more of what's available for you. And if there's anything you'd like me to address in this mini series, please do let me know and I'll see if I can create a PDF course for you to use whenever you wish! Happy playing... 😁✨

Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the Easy Cello Tutorials, and the monthly sheet music drops! Sheet music for March will go in the first week - I invite you to use your powers to vote on what you would like next! :D https://www.skool.com/cosmicgirlie-9212/march-sheet-music-drop-you-choose?p=80b0c77b I've been doing lots of recording this week, with more to come, for the Easy Cello Tutorials. Here's what to expect over the next few weeks: Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush/Stranger Things I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor He's A Pirate - Pirates Of The Caribbean Material Girl - Madonna/Bridgerton I could do with some more classical recommendations which people might like. So if you have something in mind which you'd love to learn without the sheet music, let me know! Have a wonderful week. :) J x ✨ Play BOLDLY | Shine BRIGHT ✨

Hi everyone! Just to let you know, I'm going to (attempt to remember to) do a check in every Wednesday, just to see how you're all doing, catch up with stuff, and hopefully let you know what's coming up. I can't guarantee this, but I thought it might be helpful if and when I do, hahah! So this week, I have a LOT of new sheet music added to the Custom Sheet Music Classroom. Remember you can check out the pinned post at the top of the Community feed, which lists everything in there so far. I probably won't add any more for this week, but should hopefully add another 4 or 5 next week. There are some more Easy How To Play tutorials on the way also; I'll be uploading them here first before anywhere else, so you get early dibs. ;) Coming up, you'll find: Can't Help Falling In Love - Elvis/Crazy Rich Asians Feeling Good - Muse Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor Also remember you have your monthly free sheet music drop, something nice and simple to get you started - this month was "So This Is Love" from Cinderella. Next free drop will be early March. I'm also going to drop some coaching support PDFs soon, which I used for my private students last year as part of their "7 Day Goals". These might be helpful to those of you who are practicing and/or performing regularly, and just need a little more help and support. Catch you all later! J x ✨ Play BOLDLY | Shine BRIGHT ✨
