Since I only have two more lessons before the holidays (after today's), I asked Erik to teach me a few Christmas tunes. We went over the following:
12 Days of Christmas
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Jingle Bells
O Christmas Tree...
What Child is This?
He showed me the best ways to strum/pick each song, and printed out copies with his notes. Also, he is burning me a cd of a bunch of Christmas arrangements he did a couple years ago for his family, so I can try to learn them too! I want to get a few of these (both the ones listed here, and the ones off of his disc) down so I can surprise the family at Christmas ☺
I have always been into music, and have always wanted to be proficient in an instrument. My friends have told me on many occasions that I have a natural ear for notes, but I've never taken their observations very seriously, or thought I had enough spare time to learn.
