| In
the summer of 1976, I decided to go to the
Guitar Workshop in Roslyn. I chose to go to the Workshop rather than go back to a camp which I had loved the summer before. I still take guitar lessons in Roslyn each week. I had started playing the guitar with folk and folk-rock music, but I have recently changed to classical guitar lessons. While this is much harder and much more work than folk guitar, I am enjoying it very much. This is partly because the teacher I have now is not only an excellent classical guitar teacher, but a nice man and a friend. Whenever we have guests or my grandparents come to visit, I am always asked to get out my guitar and play and sing for everyone. Since I am not shy, I quickly run and get my guitar. For the last three years, I have performed for my mother's high school classes on days when I have no school. A day like that means singing for forty minutes five times during the day and is exhausting. I also teach the guitar to two people. They are the daughter (age 12) and son (15) of a friend of my mothers. That is how I get some spending money, $5 for a lesson. |
