Hello,

just letting you know that I’ve just posted the first movement of us playing Beethoven’s Op.5, No. 1 for cello and piano.

For those of you who are students of UC – Santa Cruz: If you play the cello or have wanted to, I’m looking to add students to build my studio there, so just email me!

Well everyone,

I don’t know why I didn’t consider this before.
From now on, everything I produce will be free online.
Something new every week.. Either in audio or video form.. or both.

Hope you enjoy!!

Randy

8th Anniversary of that most grievous of days. Let’s not forget.

Well, I’m thankful to be starting to work at UC – Santa Cruz later this month. I’ll be playing three works of the composition faculty and a couple of other works with Shu. After a month in China and getting back to reality, time to dig in and practice. Also getting back to Robert Mann’s Etude for Solo Cello so that I can record it for my 2nd album.
Time to thicken the calluses.

Sent in the CV and CD for this recent job posting. I’m really hoping that this comes through.
I would enjoy the task and struggle of building up a cello studio worthy of recognition; teaching is a passion of mine. A job is what you make it, after all.

UC – Santa Cruz is a beautiful campus, and the faculty with whom I’ve worked – Nicole Paiement and Roy Malan, are quite fine musicians. It would seem a great place to settle into. Now, I’m just waiting every day for that letter!

Everyone send a good vibe and let’s hope the best candidate gets the position!!

So the Fromme Fam is headed to China in August.. Was hoping to get some much needed rest, but now it’s looking like it will be filling up with performing and teaching.

Lining up a cello won’t be easy, since we booked our tickets long ago.. Here’s hoping whatever I find will be halfway playable. Recalling the past two trips where I have ‘lined up’ instruments.. hoping that this time I have a bit better luck.

Of course, whenever there is an opportunity for this kind of work, we’ll jump at it. Sharing music is what we enjoy doing.

And on the bright side, it will help cushion the cost of this trip with our three kids.
So watch out Shenzhen and Guiyang, we’re going to rock the house!
