学习大提琴的
记叙文
经历
My plan to learn to play the cello(大提
was a healthy choice.So I took the next
innocent step of going to a shop that sells and
rents string instruments,especially violins,
violas,and cellos.The place was a hole-in-the-
wall,up a steep flight of stairs.Instruments left
a narrow path to the counter where a woman with
grey hair and warm eyes greeted me.Since I
couldn't form a question about what I wanted,I
just stood there exploring the scene,which felt
immensely pleasurable.
I rented a cello,a bow,and a case to hold
them.What attracted me to the cello was its
enormous size and its soft,smooth,and memorable
sounds.It's an instrument made of beautifully
polished wood that I could wrap my arms around
and feel its powerful vibrations when the strings
were played.That was a good starting point for
me.The only problem was that I didn't know
how to play it.
There's a popular belief that the cello is a
particularly difficult instrument to learn.
Another is the admonition,"Don't bother if you
are a beginner over age 10!”Well,Iwas70,
and what others thought no longer influenced
me.And besides,I thought of the words of Dr.
Cohen,who suggested that learning causes
physical changes in the brain.
So I found a teacher who had respect for
older adult beginners and I practiced diligently,
daily for years,and sometimes disheartened,but
I kept up.I'm happy to report that now,more
than a decade later,I can hold my own in a

string trio and two quartets two violins,a
viola,and me,the female cello)and even a
senior community band.Of course,I'll never
sound like Yo-Yo Ma but you could recognize a
Mozart piece if you heard me play it.And,more
importantly,I don't need to please anyone but
myself.
Whether it's a pleasurable pastime or a new
career,the starting point is the same:wonder,
curiosity,determination,and the desire to keep
your brain sharp.
