    That’s great. Sounds like you had a really productive week. Are you thinking of posting any for us to listen to on the ‘Play for us’ forum?

      Hi Moonhare.. I kind of just do them quickly and they are just the melody lines with the how of developing my ear. My goal is to do one a day thru Nov. and post them weekly to hold myself accountable.(I’ve been doing this for 6 months).

      After that my goal is to embellish the songs by figuring out how to embellish them by adding arpeggios and chords yet keep the melody going instrumentally ( since I am a lousy singer.) I will probably seek in person lessons for that.

      <font face=”inherit”>I am the opposite of a perfectionist so I would be a bit </font>embarrassed<font face=”inherit”> to post them…HOWEVER…one thought I had that would perhaps be cool is to post a song and get the community to help figure out how to incorporate the embellishments and improvements.</font>

        Even if you don’t post it I think recording yourself is a great habit to get into because you’ll be able to go back later and see just how far you’ve come. I’ve posted some vids with fluffs and gaffs in and now I’m at the end of year 1 this weekend I’m going back to see what’s happened over that first 12 months. But well done on your discipline nonetheless. It will pay dividends I’m sure. 🤟😎🎸
