As a cellist, I refuse to read more than 3 ledger lines. We have clefs for that. 3 ledger lines above treble and I'm just not playing that.
Hope everyone who is able to fast for Yom Kippur has an easy one! I am psyched for Kol Nidre, my parents’ synagogue always has a cellist (years ago the cellist for the Pittsburgh Symphony was a temple member) and my dad will be on screen holding a torah (and getting the scrolls off the high shelf)

A name for something you may be experiencing right now: screen apnea. "The 20% of participants who did not show signs of screen apnea included a former military test pilot, a triathlete, dancers, singers and a cellist—people who had trained to breathe and perform a task or skill simultaneously."
Do you have "screen apnea"? Former Microsoft executive Linda Stone coined this term around 2007 after noticing she'd developed an unhealthy habit while answering emails: She held her breath. On this episode, she tells host Manoush Zomorodi how she tested her friends and colleagues for screen apnea and what she has done since.Then, Manoush talks to the bestselling author of Breath, science writer James Nestor, who explains how shallow breathing impacts our physical and mental health. He takes us through a simple exercise to "reset" our breath and relieve screen time stress.Binge the whole Body Electric series here.Sign up for the Body Electric Challenge and our newsletter here.Talk to us on Instagram @manoushz, or record a voice memo and email it to us at BodyElectric@npr.org.
