W: David, you play the cello, don’t you?
M: I did it for about six years. But I haven’t practised much since I came to college. Why do you ask?
W: I’m signing up for a noncredit string ensemble course that meets once a week on Wednesday night. We have several violin, violas and two bass players, but only one cello.
W: Who’s directing the group?
W: Janet Hanson. Maybe you’ve heard of her. She plays violin in the city orchestra, and she also directs three other small local music groups.
M: Mh, I have my cello here, but I think I would need to do a lot of work before my playing would sound any good at all.
W: Miss Hanson will give individual instruction as well as teach us as a group. There are only ten of us now. Try to join us. We are all on the intermediate level. And anyway you won’t get a grade for the course.
M: I’ll tell you what. I’ll play a little this evening and see how it goes.
W: I’m sure you’ll be fine, I’ll expect to see you at seven o’clock tomorrow in room 14 at the Fine Arts Building. I hope you can come to our regular meeting.
