A lovely little resort town along the coast of Devon is the town of Paignton. Paignton belongs to the section of coastline that is known as the English Riviera though it was first a fishing village. The town did not change or have the population grow until the 1800s when a new harbor was built and the town could be accessed by railway. Many people enjoy the fine Victorian architecture that can be viewed in the historic section of town.The top tourist spot is the Paignton pier which is described as a pleasure pier. Towards the seaward end there is a grand pavilion which holds dancing, several music halls, singing and recitals. This pavilion was the first place to perform the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta HMS Pinafore. This pier did not always contain arcades and such as it was once purchased and converted to a dock used by the Pier and Steamship Company.

1. Use a reputable string instrument dealer in your area. Check with a music school or with a local cellist or violinist who can recommend a dealer.2. While I suggest buying a cello, because it inspires a greater commitment on your part, realize that dealers also rent cellos for about $50.00 a month.3. Get the right size for you. Cellos for small children are available in a ¼ size. They are also available in half, three quarter and 4/4 sizes (the last, for adults.)4. The age, national origin and reputation of the maker strongly affects the price. Cellos cost anywhere from about $500.00 to six million. If you cannot afford a fancy name, do not worry. Choose by the cello’s sound and condition.5. Do nots: Do not buy over the internet. You cannot see or hear the cello, and will have difficulty returning it if necessary. Do not buy a plywood instrument. The body should be made of maple for the back and ribs and spruce for the front. Do not buy a brand new instrument, unless you are sure that the wood has been properly aged.6. The front of the body should be arched in the middle, and slightly … Read more

For three years while I was a worship pastor almost every week someone from the congregation would bring up the issue of Hymn’s vs. Choruses. Some members wanted more hymns, some wanted more choruses, some wanted hymns sung like choruses and some wanted less hymns and less “old” chorus songs so that we could do more “new” stuff. It didn’t seem like it was possible to make anyone happy.In fact, it was difficult to make anyone happy. I would try to adjust the mix of the music and try tried to educate members of my congregation. It just didn’t seem to matter… That was until I figured out that the issue wasn’t really about hymns or choruses (at least for most people). The debate about these two styles of music was simply a way of voicing other thoughts and issues that were weighing on people’s hearts. I came to realize that in almost every case, when people voiced their dissent about hymns or choruses they had another issue that needed to be addressed. Here were the five most common issues that I found…1. Congregation members wanted to feel that they were valued and that the things that mattered to them … Read more

For those of you not too familiar with what a cello looks like or sounds like, just imagine the sound and image of the violin, and then amplify the size and the sound texture many times over. Although the cello and violin differ quite a bit from each other, they also resemble each other in quite a few ways.The cello originated in Italy, and this string instrument is a member of the violin family. In terms of size, the cello is larger than the violin while smaller than the bass.The cello is considered as one of the most complex instruments created. It is made up of various materials, such as wood and also steel, rubber and metal. It has a unique shape, with a wide breadth on the top and bottom and a narrow middle.This instrument produces a rich alto sound that is beautifully suited for special occasions. However, it is quite difficult to play a cello particularly for beginners. Do not expect to produce a very pleasant sound when first starting out. You need years of expert training and plenty of practice in order to bring out the cello’s rich and melodic sounds.For those of you who are hesitant … Read more
