Have you ever seen a very young child played piano or violin? Children can start learning to play these instruments at a very young age. There are small sized violins or cellos for young children. Sound wise, the piano or the key board will not disappoint anyone. That is why we can see very young prodigies of piano, violin or cello.
How about wind instruments and brass instruments? Is there any small flute or trumpet for a four-year-old can play? There aren’t any. The young child isn’t strong enough to handle these instruments. Also, their muscles haven’t matured enough to blow the instruments and to hold breaths to make sounds.
Recently I started learning to play a French horn. I have to learn how to play from scratch. I love to learn new things in the beginning of the second act of my life. I heard that if you do something ten minutes every day, you will be an expert in ten years. So, why shouldn’t I learn to play the French horn? It is really hard to blow and make enjoyable sounds, for the muscles around my mouth do not like to be trained. It has been a long time since the area around my tummy has replaced muscle with fat. It is hard to remember which fingers are related to which notes…
Check tomorrow’s posting to find out my progress.
