Just the right size for my petite (at least in some dimensions) frame.

What a joy to pick it up and practice effortlessly for half an hour this morning.

I now expect to make some significant progress in consolidating what I’ve learned so far.

And in related news, the little music shop where I take lessons is having its Spring Recital next week. I’m not yet proficient enough to perform on the guitar, but my teacher likes my voice (I tend to sing along during lessons while I’m picking out “Ode to Joy” and “Aura Lee”), so yesterday he asked if I’d like to sing something in the recital.

Not entirely clear to me why, because I’m not taking voice training with them (and in fact have never really had any voice training). I’m not shy about singing on stage, though: I sang in the school choir for years, performed in coffeehouses with a little amateur folk group when I was in my early teens, and occasionally venture into a karaoke bar). So if it’ll help him and his partner showcase their business, I’m fine with that. He’ll accompany me on piano while I sing one of my all-time favourites: The Rose.
