It was not easy to learn different kinds of
musical instruments(
i»
)well at the same
time. I still remembered when I took my piano
lessons,my mother said worriedly to my father,
“Why hasnt he made any progress with so
much practice?” I tried to play the piano
better. However,my parents never got a strong
feeling of satisfaction with my hard work.
From then on,I didnt play any musical
instrument until my old friend Larry invited me
to play the violin with him when I was 60. It
made me enjoy the joy of playing music again.
One day,Larry asked me to take part in a
violin performance with him. At first,thinking
of my past,I wanted to refuse. I expected to
hear his words that I would become more skilled
with practice on stage(
gÿ
). But he said,
“OK,only play if you want to.”I was shocked
by the unexpected answer.
In fact,nobody made me do it,so I had to
make a decision by myself. I wanted to catch
the chance this time. After a long and careful
preparation,I played the violin with Larry.
Though I didnt lose all my nervousness,it was
enough for me to drive my fear away. Finally,I
offered a full performance in front of the
audience(
jh
).
However,happy times always didnt last
long,my friend Larry passed away. It was a
hard hit,but his influence(

)stayed forever.
It helped me not only in music,but on all sides
of my life. Whenever I paid attention to what I
wanted to do,joy usually took the place of
fear.
