To me there is something romantic about the Cello. I have always wished to know how to play one and made the decision it will be my new adventure for 2019.
I love ...no... I adore music.
I started with flute and piccolo and then tenor sax. Piano, self taught ..not that great but enough to get by.
Guitar at age 17..then came Mandolin .... ( only because I came across my grandfathers Mandolin) Tenor Banjo, because its a no brainer,...fingering the same as my Mando....( Did I mention I am a big folk music/bluegrass fan)? I bought a fiddle a few years ago due to fingering much like Mandolin...but never got stuck to it . I also have a dulcimer I mess with sometimes.
Dunno why. But CELLO...oh I have always admired it...its sound. SO once I am done with the currant health issue, I am off to buy a used Cello and will begin practicing. There something so romantic about it...soul searching resinating from it, It Echoes and I LOVE it.
Flute and Mandolin will always be my first love.
How about you ?
Do you play an instrument? What one and if you don't...what one would you wish you played ? Its' never to late to learn.
I played clarinet in school, always 1st or 2nd chair. I dabbled in alto clarinet. I always wanted to play saxophone. Guitar hurt my fingers too much. Growing up we had a banjo. I could play the beginnings of, Smoke on the Water, lol but that hurt my fingers too. I bought a flute at a flea market. My husband bought me a whole case of harmonicas for Christmas a couple years ago. My husbands parents made him take accordion lessons and he still has it, that's a blast to play with, although I don't really know what I'm doing. My son played trumpet all through school and LOVED jazz band! One day he brought home an upright bass because he wanted to learn and taught himself. That thing was SO BIG the neck stuck out of the window of our little car. His senior year, the jazz band sent a video to the Essentially Ellington Jazz competition. They were one of 15 or so bands, across the country , to be chosen! They got to go to New York and play on stage at the Lincoln Center! They played 3 songs and the middle song featured my son on trumpet! I was SO PROUD OF HIM! I wish I knew how to share that video with you! You'd be proud too! I also have a Mandolin and found a place that teaches lessons, I think I might sign up for a class. I have all this extra money laying around from not smoking, might as well spend it, right?!!
