Here is something you probably don’t know about me. I have always wanted to learn how to play an instrument. When I was a child I took a handful of piano lessons but for some reason or another my father didn’t continue with the lessons. I still would love to learn how to play the piano but as I got older I fell in love with the cello.

At this point in our financial state piano or cello lessons for me are out of the question. My daughter is taking piano lesson and my son is taking bass guitar lessons and that is as much as we can afford right now. I am thrilled that my children have the opportunity to do things that I wish I could have done as a child. My turn with come one day and even if it doesn’t I can be happy with what my children where able to have.

I have decided that I would try and learn the guitar instead of waiting for my turn to learn the cello or piano. My husband and my kids (both kids know guitar basics) have been helping me learn the basics. I have been teaching myself cords and slowly but surely I am learning an instrument.

I actually have two friends that are guitar teachers and I don’t know why I didn’t think about this before. I can get tips and learn at my own pace. I may never be a Jimmy Hendricks but at least I can learn to play an instrument. One day I hope that because I learned to play a stringed instrument it will help me learn the cello as well.
