Playing Guitar

Our regular guitar teacher is out of commission for a bit, so we are literally without guidance for early two months. In light of this, I contacted A’s old teacher, EE, and he was happy to resume lessons with her. He’s always been very nice and supportive of A’s guitar playing, always complimenting her on her playing and singing, and he’s a serious guitar teacher. People all over the area know him, and he was in fact the person that KR recommended we go to when she felt she had exhausted her teaching resources with A.

E tends to challenge A, which is good, and he is more about learning the real theory behind the music. It’s been said that it may not be as fun because with KR they tend to sing along and learn songs that are more fun, whereas with E, it’s a little more serious instruction, but again, I think that’s a good thing. Also, E is a professional teacher, he has set hours and we meet regularly. There is value to that, especially when it comes to developing discipline and focus, two areas where we are not always model citizens. Plus, it gives us an excuse to hit the big city on a regular basis. I’ll take it.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to uyo14 for the pic.
