Life is full of ups and downs!
I sit thinking about all the work I have put into my music these last few years, setting my thoughts on making some money and being successful while doing what I truly love to do. Today, it sounds like a fairy tale....the unattainable goal!
That, in a nutshell, is the music biz! What's new is old, what's in is out, what's up is down! I have, to a degree, combined all those elements into the music I create for my cello quartet....I should call it "a life mixture!" Ahhh! But will it sell!! THAT is the question! The answer is...sometimes!
Do you ever feel like you are the only one out there? That is the way I feel sometimes as I stare at my computer screen, pretending that there is actually someone starring back! I am rambling today because I feel very discouraged! After all the hard work....I'm feeling like I am losing it all! But that is part of life too.....get it lose it then get it again and NEVER giving up!
Isn't that what's called being a musician? Isn't that what makes us sensitive enough to our surroundings so that we can transfer it to our music? Isn't that what our audience wants? To convey lifes come upins....musically? Music is my joy and my sorrow! I feel it so much it hurts...but I can't stop doing it, I wont stop playing! It is my heart and soul. Let the music never stop!
So, to end on a positive note....La Cella Bella WILL keep going....somehow!

If you keep reaching for what you love, you will obtain it. It may not look like what you imagined, but it will be. Play your music, seek your style, write your feelings in the notes and it will become.
It does not really matter if anyone else hears it, as it will have served its purpose. Usually though, others will want to listen.
Keep your focus on the group while figuring out how to create and fill a niche. Marketing matters but perhaps it is not what you should be doing. Find someone who understands what your music is about and marketing/sales. Let them do that part while you keep creating. Play it, they will come! ;)
Even when your belief is weak, others still believe in you!!!
