First Blog Assignment

1) How are you similar and different to other classmates?

Most of my classmates performed on stage, either at a concert or a talent show, while I never did. Many also have been to a concert, I haven't been at any. Jack, and Tin doesn't seem to have the same music taste as I do, I like completely different types of music, they dislike rock, and like music without lyrics and slow. For the similarities, I love the guitar, and so does most of my classmates. Some strange similarities I have with Vie and Sally are: Vie also started learning piano at six, and learned it for a very long time, she also can't read notes. Sally had tried studying three instruments: Piano, drum and guitar, I also experienced the exact same three. For music genres, the majority of the class, from the Musicographies I looked at, like pop and modern music. I, too, like modern music, but not just pop, I also enjoy R&B, Rap, and Rock.

2) What is your goal in Guitar 1? Why?

My goal in Guitar 1 is to improve my guitar skills, I'm pretty new at this because I only take guitar lessons once a week, and only an hour every lesson. So in a month I get about four hours of guitar lessons. I really enjoy the different things you can play on the guitar, from strumming for people to sing, to solo the whole song (no lyrics). There's just so much more to learn about the guitar.

3) Any other thoughts about the class, guitar, or music.

I don't really have any, but if I could ask one question, then I might like to know if we're going to learn any modern guitar playing?
