It was not easy to learn different kinds of musical instruments well at the same time.I still remembered when I took my piano lessons，my mother said worriedly to my father， "Why hasn't 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 piano performance.
From then on，I didn't 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.1 expected to hear his words that I would become more skilled with practice on stage（舞台），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 choice by myself.I was willing to catch the chance this time.After a long and careful preparation，I played the violin with Larry.Though I didn't lose all my nervousness，it was enough for me to overcome my fear.Finally，I offered a full performance in front of the audience（观众）.
However，happy times always didn't last long，my friend Larry passed away .It was a hard hit，but his influence stayed.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.
