From a middle school classmate—still don’t know how to play harmonica but learned a hard lesson for life: no shortcut in learning at all ;-)

“口琴课每年都要考试,考试是按小组进行,一个小组三四个同学一起吹。初三那年,有次老师上课无意中点到潘建平同学吹口琴,孰不知潘同学连口琴都拿反了,再一试,全然不会,这一惊非同小可,音乐课环环相扣,时间非常紧张,记得老师拿出了宝贵的好几分钟垂询潘同学,原来他口琴考试时只是把口琴放在嘴上,并不吹出声音,和其他同学一样左右移动,是以回回考试合格,张老师自诩明察秋毫,耳朵里不容错音(不是老师的错,因为潘同学不出声音),却不料班上出了当代南郭,谱写了常中新寓言,接下来每课必抽潘同学吹口琴。初三面临中考,大家中午全身心埋头做作业,就连龚苏飞同学也不吹口琴了,而此时在张老师的鞭策下,潘同学每天中午抽时间苦练口琴,教室里孤零零地回荡着他不成曲调的琴声,潘同学十分聪明,是班上的数学课代表,经过一段时间的苦练,也得到了老师的首肯。”
