Steadily Getting Better 11 months ago

I’ve been practicing almost every day for a while now, and I’ve increased my repertoire quite a bit. It gets more and more fun as I learn more songs, too.



Doing it 13 months ago

I am getting much better! I can play around five or six songs, and three of them all the way through while singing. Singing at the same time has got to be the hardest part. But I am going to keep at it. I am almost ready to set this to done. Soon!



The Transfiguration by Sufjan Stevens 14 months ago

I have been playing the banjo for almost three weeks now, and I am making some progress. I can play through all of Sufjan Stevens’ The Transfiguration, which is one of my favorite songs. I play for at least an hour every day I can.

Sufjan’s songs definitely make me want to play more and more as I listen to them. If you haven’t listened to Sufjan Stevens, I can’t recommend it enough! His music literally changed my life.
