Creativity: Guitar Lessons

For the last couple of weeks I have been taking beginner’s guitar as my after school activity. I chose guitar because I really enjoy music and it was a pleasant surprise to see an instrument being offered to learn at school. I also wanted to undertake a new challenge that I would need to regularly work at to show results. These lessons took place Monday afternoons in Ms. Skelly’s classroom and were offered to anyone from grades 6 through 12. Ms. Skelly gradually taught us several of the basic guitar chords all the while having us practice them by playing along to fun modern songs that she had picked out. Our only ‘’homework’’ after each class was to practice the guitar whenever we had the chance for the following week.

When I started beginner’s guitar I was uncertain as to whether this would be something I would want to continue in the future; I am happy to say that it most definitely is. I owe most to all of the reason I so enjoyed learning guitar to Ms. Skelly who was in every respect a fantastic teacher. Her enthusiasm and patience was never ending and for that I am truly grateful. In the end I am glad to say that I developed new skills in guitar that I never had before and will continue to work on improving.
