她3歲開始學鋼琴。6歲的一天,她突然聽到了由Jacqueline du Pre 演奏的Elga Cello Concerto ,頗為感動和崇拜,按捺不住,毅然決定轉而投入了大提琴的懷抱。
11歲的時候,張含娜參加了the Rostropovich International Cello Contest,她的演奏絕對震驚了全場。這次除了獲得大獎外,音樂大師 Rostropovich 對張含娜的評語是 Her scale of music was beyond imagination.” 此外,他還親口對她說了以下的話:
Your cello is small, but you have shown your genius to the full. You have created a sensation of a global scale. It would be a sin to teach such a talented child like Han-na in an incorrect way.
