I am in Grade 2 this year and was chosen to play the Cello in Grade 3 I am 7 years old. I had to hold all the string instruments and stroke the violin. I didn`t make a funny noise and was surprised. I then sat down and held the cello but didn`t play it. I hope I will be ok learning the cello as I`m very nervous but excited. I`m not a very big boy but tall and slim. I am very academic at my school studies too. The teacher has chosen the cello for me and my other classmates have been chosen the violin or viola.
