Lesson 12/17/03

I’ve been finding that I’m just not making much progress right now in my playing. It’s frustrating, but not unexpected. I just need to remember that I’ll get over this plateau, and start making progress soon. I just need to practice my way through it.

Instead of playing anything out of my books today, Fred had me try playing a few tunes by ear. We started with “The First Noel” in C major. Then I tried “Jingle Bells” in D major and G major. Finally I tried “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” in F major. It was actually quite fun, and though some notes took a bit of time to find, I was able to play all of them with some success.
