It's wonderful how God has given us so many talents. Everyone had a beginning, as did Yo-Yo Ma. After all, I doubt he's always been a musical genius; we've all been young once. ^^
I myself is still at a young age. I think it's extremely cool how Yo-Yo Ma was able to capture so many hearts with his music, and I love it. God has given us all something truly special, whether it be the gift of art, music, etc.
Talent is Gained through lots and Lots of practice, You may thank God that he is so good at what he does, But I personally thank whoever introduced him to the Cello, I am very happy that I found his music, he is truly a marvelous musician
He wanted to play since his father played (Bassoon I believe?) and he always saw the Cello since they were in the front. So he tried playing cello... unfortunately, since he was so small, he had to learn from a very large Viola until he was big enough to have a Cello.
People like Yo-Yo Ma restores my faith in humanity. It is nice to see people be like this. I hope I could be as good as Yo-Yo Ma- in my cello and bass studies plus my reasoning and kindness with kids, people exc.
People like this hardly exist anymore. Yo-Yo Ma has a real air about him of humility and kindness. I think that it is more important that we idolize such amazing and romantic figures especially in times of hardship i.e. America's current struggle and dissent amongst itself
Yo Yo Ma has one of the most amazing personalities I have ever seen. Just the way he talks, and the way he gives great credit to everyone he meets, you would never think he was a world famous celist. He is probably an amazing father. I absolutly love him, and all of his work.
I would love to hear a celloist play without the talking though. I just want to enjoy the beautiful sound of the cello. I thought of taking up the cello, but it just looks so HUGE an instrument to play. I thought it would be just too difficult to get my arms around that baby.
little one... nice to see u again... Yo yo ma is such an spiritual person... he is more concerned about human understanding than music... quite curious coming from a person that is considered a virtuoso...
I love this man so so much.
