Lindsey, wishing you the best!!!!!! with your lessons. I played piano and guitar when I was younger. It was like a lot of things, when I went away to college, I found so much to do that I quit playing both. Sold the piano many years ago.

Our daughter Melissa wanted a guitar, (she played trumpet in the high school band) so we bought her one a couple of years ago and it's under her bed here at home. She's away at college. I've thougth of getting it out and strumming a bit, but my finger tips will hurt, and I'd have to get off this computer.

Hope things work out for you. Playing can be very enjoyable and relaxing.

Janet, you are never too old to learn. In fact, learning improves your brain fruction and may help ward off the effects of aging. You need to do it for your health!!!

does anyone have the sheet music for Happy Birthday? i want my husband to play it for Micah for his Birthday. i looked on the internet but they all charge a fee.

Lindsey, I think you should go for it and not stop like I did. I love listening to someone play the piano or the guitar. So relaxing. Now once you learn a song, you need to tape it for us to hear.

I want to take singing lessons. I have no ear for music, but I'd love to just be able to sing on key. When I was teaching, I would walk through the halls singing - it's just such a nice thing to do. (Not too loud of course)

I can carry a tune and I love to sing...just not in front of anyone..LOL. I have a karaoke machine and I love getting it out and singing.

I played guitar growing up. I regret not keeping it up, but what I enjoyed was playing with my friends. After I married and moved away I never had friends who played so I quit. I am sure you will love it. Once you master an instrument all the others come far easier to you, IMO you will be surprised I think by what is actually familiar to you from playing the piano!
good luck and enjoy!

way cool!! keep it up. have you had the lesson yet?

i have had a guitar for 30 years. i started at 18, played about a year the only off and on, mostly off.
i picked it back up last spring, and have been taking lessons since. it is muy wonderful. i have an acoustic.
i went to a college sale where they sell off instruments from the music program and i went just to look~ came away with one with a pickup and a built in tuner.
i really want to get a classical one next since that's what i started with.
we had a recital in november!!

Haley, I don't have this, wish I'd seen your thread earlier, I was with a group of ladies earlier this evening who are into things like this, they might have.

When is Micah's b-day?

His Birthday is March 7th, but im having his Birthday party on March 8th on a Saturday.

Well the lesson went well. My teacher told me that I'm lucky I understand the notes because half the people he sees just can't wrap their heads around reading guitar notes. He gave me some simple exercises to practice, which I did tonight, and I've improved already He did tell me I need new strings though, so I should get that done before next Monday's lesson.
I really love it so far!

[Janet]

You'll be really good if you keep practicing. Guitar music is so soothing.
