Lily is still playing the cello in the middle school orchestra. In fact, this winter she won an award from her orchestra teacher and local friends of chamber music group that was described as: 1) A student that exemplifies teamwork, camaraderie and positive communication with their peers and 2) A student who perform individually very well, but that takes second place to the traits of an effective member of a musical ensemble: teamwork, camaraderie and positive communication. Who would have ever guessed?
Although school ended at Spring Break and the final concert was never held, Lily put on a few online concerts for her family. In this video, she plays a piece she was supposed to perform, along with the rest of the 7th and 8th grade orchestra. Hard to understand all of the music since the cellos rarely have the melody, but you can see the progression of her skill, rhythm, and listening abilities.
