    Can I be "mom" and ask if you pot in your one hour each day?

    Anyways -- good luck on this. It will pay off for you -- who knows, you might lead a country one day!

    When growing up, I started on the piano and then tried the violin in secondary school. I was not "really and truly" good. I was first violin in the second section (about 24 violins in the orchestra), but that may have had more to do with the competition. I was never good enough to beat out the first section first violin.

    I do remember mom asking each day if my hour was put in on the piano. Whether I ansered yes or no, I had to sit do an give a brief example of something that I thought I got better at on that particular day. The problem is that i preferred to learn show tunes and ignore the "classics" that my instructor wanted me to work on. Did me well in college for party entertainment, but my abilities suffered. I do not think I have played for a few decades now. Sigh.

    You have 215 views, so unless you are popping in to check on things every hour --- some are reading the thread. I pop in when ever there is an update by you. I am interested.

    Sounds good! I learnt the sax for 3 years and I must say it was great fun.

    Work on being able to read music. It might help if you can also sound out the notes and chords on a guitar or piano. At some point you will simply hear in your head what you are reading off of the page. The next step is to be able to write down what you are hearing. Composition is not far off. Boy am I getting ahead of this story! It just brings back memories about learning music. It was so fun in so many ways.

    (VP fades into flashback)

    I remember going to grandma's with the old upright piano. She played a bit in her younger days between bouts of being a Carrie Nation-like person taking axes to bars. At the time there was only one younger brother and we were only allowed to touch the piano under close supervision. When another brother was on the way, we spent several days there as mom, new little brother, and dad got to know each other without the two of us. That was the first time that grandma let me just poke a bit on the piano. Then she helped a bit with learning the music sheets (all religious). She was not as controlling as she was when company was around. By time the stay was over, I had learned enough to be interested.
