Waaah I’m so bad! U make it look easy

[@minty_fresh8899]

Same

[@milagrotorres5252]

It's so in tune and the miss playing the cello make it sound so easy. I am learning this and I am still failing to play it right. I am learning this by my self. The miss in the piano is so good too, she is really good!

[@yvonnehong1518]

[@FuryHeartedProductions]

It's always helpful to have a reference to guide you. Thank you.

[@thomasnelson3807]

I'm using your songs to help me get ready for a recital I'm in book eight but I haven't had a recital since book three so I need to relearn all of the pieces your songs really help me with this.

[@Schizzieful]

I use this picture as a Karaoke playing the solo-voice on my mandolin. Beautiful combination, together it gives a real cosy sound.

[@torrakatz]

I love it rellay helpful

[@lizflippy2377]

Hi Rachel. I was wondering why every time I play this song to the end, my right shoulder hurts. My old teacher said is was because I tensed it but I now don't and it still hurts. What should I do?

[@erikamarie9424]

get stronger on your right arm

[@michelleread6797]

same.

[@michelleread6797]

I am going through the exact same thing. And I am self taught so I have no idea what to do about it :(

[@adam_g.]

I can answer all of these questions if you all are still wondering. I had the same problem.

[@michelleread6797]

ADAM GROSS yes pleaseee

[@yvonnehong1518]

[@RachelXu]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@celialiu8933]

But it sound good:o

[@asinicw9906]

we used to play this as a school recorder ensemble... memories

[@shibo4349]

asinicw musicforlife lies that’s the time when you where in 3rd grade. What you did play is like 1st grade level songs.

[@asinicw9906]

@@shibo4349 lol not everyone of us are forced to learn recorder in elementary school as in America. We learned recorder when we we in sixth grade. And we played a few classical pieces.

[@yunsanglee5847]

THE GOAT

[@twhlai]

[@junyuli5666]

Very nice playing, but her facial expression is kinda disturbing..

[@cellooz295]

Her facial expressions matches this song, and the expressions are telling the storyline of the song.

[@xiwei01]

Junyu Li ikr

[@lareverie8285]

I find her expressions amusing 😊 (ahem pun intended)

[@echels]

Thank you, these are wonderful. I wish I'd found them sooner!
