Working on some new music

I am finally back in the swing of practicing again.  I took some time off at the New Year, but now have some new music to master for Chamber.  We are playing several Riverdance pieces, and I have a fairly easy part to learn.  I am also working through Soloists for Young Cellists, and a great book on Favorite Hymns.  I think I need new strings, but other than that, my cello is doing OK.  I still wish I had a new one, but for now, I have to make due with my old cello.
