Wednesday Paints It Black

Embed Video

 It is the starting week of a new term. In her first lesson, I  asked a new student what had inspired her to take up cello. "Wednesday in the Addam's Family" was her reply. I love it when students introduce me to new music. So here, for you all to enjoy  are the cello scenes in the Netflix 2022 series. They are terrific.

Apparently the  actress learned to play the cello for the role but although, Netflix make much of that in their publicity, it is probably fair to say that it is not Jenna Ortega heard on the soundtrack but she does a great job of looking as if she is really playing. 

Covers of well known rock and pop songs can make great party pieces. If you know a verse or two of the lyrics, it makes them easier to learn. The second piece heard in the clip is by Vivaldi. 

So click on the lick for a version of Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones.
