Music=Happiness!

Last weekend I had another concert with the orchestra and, one more time, it was amazing! Still now, after almost 20 years playing the cello, it amazes me how good I feel when I play. Of course I have my bad days when the last thing I want to do is sit and play the cello, but it’s just a matter of minutes and boooom! There it comes that amazing feeling again!

Every time it happens I remember my mum. She loves to tell anyone that, when I was a teenager, I told her I didn’t want to play the cello anymore. She knew how much I enjoyed playing but I just wanted to hang around with my friends and play the cello was the last think in my mind at that time.

Well, my lovely mummy “forced” me to continue playing until I was mature enough to make my choices (her words). She said that when I was 18 years old, I could make my choices. Of course, at 18 I had the passion for the cello back and the good feeling was so strong, so strong that I just wanted to play forever!

Today, I am so pleased of my mum’s attitude. Music is so important in my life that I just feel the need to share that “feel good” factor with more and more people. I try to do just that every week, with the classes that I teach. I truly believe this is my mission in this world and I just want children to be happy and have music in their hearts.

Mums and dads out there, get your kids to learn music, to sing, to play an instrument. I can’t explain how wonderful it is but I can say that it truly feels amazing. Your child will be grateful to you forever.

Here is a inspirational video. Have a good day!
