Oh I’m not complaining or criticizing the TAC program at all. It has helped me renew my enjoyment of this wonderful instrument. I played a little many years ago, took lessons briefly from a friend, but consider myself a beginner. I was just getting a bit frustrated at the speed toward even a little proficiency it seemed was expected of us. So I’m going to take the philosophy used by many horse trainers: “It takes as long as it takes!”

I’m glad my question helped others in the same boat!
