I figured out on my own that I really need more resin on the bow here recently. Just wasn't getting a good sound out of the c and g string and was getting frustrated. I think this is the sort of thing my teacher should have been more help on, but I had to figure it out on my own. The same as previously I had to figure out on my own that being 6'5" makes proper positioning very difficult and I needed an adjustable chair and the pegs sawed off on one side. As she's not 6'5" I'll give her that one, but I dunno, seems like I'm having to figure a lot of things on my own. She seems to think the way to do it is to practice for decades till it's just instinctual. When I ask her questions about things, she can't answer because that's what it is for her. She's a good cellist, but a so so teacher. I guess a positive is that she's always a nice, pleasant person. Although very flaky. Usually I can't stand the flakiness (by which I mean she says she'll do things and then doesn't.) But in her case it's relatively small stuff for the next lesson that she never follows through on, but if it really mattered to me I'd just remind her beforehand.

I suppose all in, she's decent enough. Not how I would teach, but decent enough. I like her as a person.

Anyway, I really ought to be trying to manage on my own. I shouldn't rely on her to push me along, putting everything out there on a silver platter for me.
