One year ago.....

One year ago on April 14, 2010. I started my guitar lessons. I received my guitar a  ( Yamaha  C-40) on the same day that I started my lessons. I met my teacher and I was really nervous. I suppose that is to be expected. I had no need to be worried though because my teacher was really nice and wanted me to enjoy the lesson. He started my out with Christopher Parkening's book called The Christopher Parkening Guitar Method - Volume 1: Guitar Technique. I really enjoyed it and am happy to have the teacher I have. We then continued to work our way through the book and I would like to say that I was getting good at playing the guitar, but  I was a very poor player. Thanks to my family who encouraged me, I slowly began to get better at it. It has been a good year with my teacher who has faithfully taught me all the things I know about guitar. I am also  happy to say that I am now preparing for my first recital May 7, 2011. I have come to appreciate guitar a lot over this year and I hope that I may continue to play for many years to come.
