Guitar Lessons

Augustine came home excitedly from school one day with a piece of paper in his hand. On it was the hand written notes of Mary Had A Little Lamb.

“I want to play this!”

Excited that he had an interest in music I asked, “On what?”

He thought for a while and decided he wanted to play it on the guitar, so we borrowed cousin Thomas’ kid-size guitar and started lessons today!

We know lots of people who play, and Mrs. Butler was happy to give him a few lessons to see if he really enjoys it. She showed us how to tune the guitar. 

She taught him two chords and how to strum. Then she played those two chords to a song the kids sing all the time at school Mass. It was a brilliant teaching technique and a perfect amount to start with. 

She also had him do some written work to help him memorize the two chords he learned, as well as read guitar chords when written down. 

Augustine is doing really well and enjoys each lesson!
