Mr. Bock the Chicken's Cello Progress Video (on Determination!)

Learning something new has it's risks and rewards... and the RISKS are very real, and very important! When we set out to learn something, we risk how we see ourself... it's vulnerable and frustrating even in the best of times. 

THANKFULLY Mr. Bock here was willing to document his progress - especially his early failed attempts - so we could all see what it looks like to hit obstacles and persevere. 

One of the things I like the MOST about the arts is that they are one of the safest contexts to get practice encountering and overcoming challenges. I don't know of any better medium than the arts for kids to get regular practice preparing for life's more important and consequential challenges.

I'll let Mr. Böck take it from here!
