- coliveira 4y agoPlaying Cello is a profession, not a Hobby. Nobody wakes up in the morning thinking: I need to play some Cello. It is only needed as part of an orchestra. Whatever else you learned about this is mostly an invention of the media.
- analog31 4y agoWhat media? Any references? Amateur musicians outnumber professionals, on most instruments. There are entire amateur orchestras. I'm am amateur cellist. I took cello lessons as a kid, and played in a community orchestra. I also played in a lot of smaller (so called "chamber") ensembles, and learned some solo cello pieces. I never expected to pursue cello as a career. At the start of the pandemic, I got out my old student cello and started playing it again, strictly for my own pleasure. I will never get good enough to play classical music for money. I have found some jam sessions where my cello is welcome among folk musicians, and have also begun learning to play jazz on the cello. It sure is a hobby, but one that's not for everybody. Instant gratification? Forget it. Endless struggle? You bet. Most amateur cellists learned the instrument as kids, but that still accounts for a lot of people.
