YOUNG MUSICIANS
FRED
My parents play in a band so there is always music in our house. I started playing the piano when I was six after I heard a very young girl play at a concert. She was just five years old but she was as good as an adult professional pianist. My first concert was at the age of nine. I'll never forget how scared I was. But once I was at the piano, I relaxed and just thought about the music.

My parents are both doctors, but they really enjoy listening to music. My mother played the piano when she was young,so she asked me if I wanted to learn to play something. I chose the violin but it isn't easy. Sometimes I get angry when I can't play the right way. I don't know if I'll keep playing it. I also play tennis three times a week and it's a bit tiring doing everything, so I guess I'll have to choose.
BRIAN
I've always loved music since I was a little child. My father told me I started dancing as soon as I heard classical music on the radio. That's why when I was four I started piano lessons. However,my teacher wasn't very friendly. I sometimes got bored with the exercises he gave me, so a year later I asked my parents if I could have singing lessons instead. I really enjoy singing.I oftensing with my brother, who plays the guitar.It's so exciting!
