My Music

Hey!

    As I mentioned in an earlier post I went to an antique shop yesterday! I actually went to several, but I enjoyed every second of it. I actually did make a purchase yesterday though. I was walking through the endless maze of old junk when I spotted it. A black guitar shining through the rubble. That sounds a little dramatic, but I really did want it. I spoke to the man who owned it and got a really good deal! So now I am going to teach myself some chords on guitar.
 

You guys probably didn't know that I also play a few other instruments! I quickly noted in a past post that I play the flute, which is true. I've been playing for 5 years now and I love it! I play in band class and also work on some solos on my own time.
    In addition to flute, I picked up playing piccolo

my freshman year. Piccolo is basically a smaller, higher pitched version of the flute, so it wasn't too hard to learn. The only difference is how much air is needed and how much muscle you need to get a sound out. But that is just some nerdy stuff!
 

Last summer I also ordered another instrument. I went online to Amazon.com and ordered a brand new ukulele. I seriously love it and it makes playing a string instrument a lot easier for small hands! I really enjoy playing it, but I noticed that song selections are a little more scarce than they are with guitar so I tried to learn how to play my Dad's old guitar but it was waaaaaay too big!
    This leads me to the guitar I recently purchased. It is a youth guitar and fits in my hands perfectly. I have

taken it upon myself to start learning some chords and proper strumming technique, since it's a little different than ukulele. Overall, I love playing music. Even though I'm only decent at flute, being able to teach myself about guitar and ukulele has shown me what I'm capable of. We can all do some incredible things, so go get inspired! Well that's all for this post. Check back for more posts soon!
