I am thinking of learning how to play the cello. I wanted to be able to play the Bach cello concerto. But that is a long term goal. I can get a cello from Allie Express for about $250. What new musical instrument do you want to play?

@lifecoachjerusalem That is exactly what I wanted to do when I retired 2 years ago but I still haven’t started.

Is there a cello teacher in your neighborhood? Do you like learning online? How much is the cost of buying or renting a cello in your area?

I also play the harmonica, it is not so difficult, and actually has lots of health benefits because you get notes when you are breathing in and breathing out. You have to really control your breath, and you have fun doing it!
