Turn a feeling into a sound.
That's it. Pick an emotion; imagine a sound that expresses that feeling; make that sound come out of your cello.
The feeling can be one you are actually experiencing, or one you just pull out of thin air. Print this list out and throw a dart at it if you want.
The sound can be a note, a smear of notes, or just noise, but just think of something that is somehow one sound rather than something that develops into a whole composition or improvisation.
A lot of practice is focused on developing skill. It is nice to start by connecting with expression.
