J and I started taking guitar lessons together last week. Anticipating our next lesson on Tuesday, I have been spending some time this week (only about 15 minutes a day because my fingers aren't callused yet!) practicing what I was taught. J is a much more talented guitar player than I am, but he told our teacher we want to start from scratch, so we're learning the basics! This week is all about the 1-4-5 so my little songs are nothing special, but still so exciting for me! One thing that I love, love, love about our teacher is that he's really tuned into what we like as individuals. I told him that my passion is writing (creative writing, not music specifically), so he said that at some point in our guitar lessons, he is going to assign me some songs to write, both musically and lyrically. It's so awesome to have an instructor who-- after 30 minutes-- is already gearing these lessons towards our creative interests. I am so excited to see Jacob grow in both skills and confidence. He has written some really great bits and pieces of songs and he definitely has talent! I can't wait to see how he progresses, especially because music is such a huge passion of his!
Maybe one day you'll hear a little bit of music written by yours truly ;)
