Oh mum, can I play the guitar please?

On Saturday the 20th of of June I had guitar lessons. My alarm went off at 8am and my ears were about to explode. Then I opened al the curtains in the house  and had breakfast with my mum and grandma. After I ate, my mum dropped me of at my guitar lessons. However I had to cross the road and the cars were going as fast as cheetahs having a race.

            Before long, I made it to guitar class (finally). When I went in, to my teacher and said, "Hi" and my teacher said, "Good morning" back to me. Then I sat down and my teacher told all of us to play the high A,B,C,D,E,F,G and then the low A,B,C,D,E,F,G. I felt nervous like a kid going on stage who was about to sing.. After that, I played the Yankee doodle song and then I taught other people how to play it as well because I had master it.
          After wards we practised the A,B,C,D,C,F and G again and again so we'd remember it. Then we had to do it backwards and forward twice. After that we did that we had a competition to try and beat our teacher in a A,B and c contest. When it was my turn , I nailed it and I beat him because I had one mistake. Then Maggie ( my partner) taught me the Yankee doodle song in a different note. So I practised it again and again.
           Before the end of class, my teacher taught me all the notes and if I learn it all all the notes before this other student I win.I also learnt the E Alarmonica minor scale which was A,B,C,D,E,F and G,B. When I began playing the notes, I got confused but then I got it and wrote it and packed in my guitar and said, "Bye!" to everyone.

Would you like to learn to play the guitar?

On Saturday, on a dark and gloomy morning I had a nightmare so I woke up and I was so scared as if a dinosaur was chasing me. My mum told me not to be scared. I got ready at 9:30 and my mum dropped me off to my guitar class.

          After my mum dropped me off I had to cross the road and the cars were all travelling at a fast speed, so it took a long time to cross the road. Finally I made it to my guitar class. The whole class and I sat into a circle. We had to share two songs which was the Joy of song and the Spanish song. When it was my turn I nailed it (finally).
         After that we all got into pairs I went with Launoa and we both taught each other what we did not know. Launoa taught me the second part of the Spanish song. I taught her another song. Then we all went back into a circle again and shared what our partners had taught us.
       Afterwards, our teacher taught us another song. The notes were G,E minor, D and C. Our teacher showed us an example and he played it so fast like he was a professional cook. Then he wrote it in our books so that we'd remember the notes.Finally it was eleven am, but before I left, he taught us the Yankie doodle song. Then it was time to go so I said, "Goodbye!"

Do you know how to play the ode of joy song on the guitar?

On Saturday the 6th of June I had a guitar lesson. My alarm went off at 8am and it was so loud just like a brown bear snoring.When I woke up I had to quickly block my ears. After that I went to wake up my mum so I could get ready.After that I had butter on toast, because I needed a lot of energy for my music lesson.

            When the both of us were ready, my mum and I hopped in the car. When I got there, I saw Launoa and she said, "Hi" and I said "Hi" back to her. Then I taught Evelen (my partner) the joy of ode song. After a while,she could play the whole song. Then we all formed a circle and I was nervous like q shy rabbit on stage because we all had to play the joy of ode song.
          When I played the song,I nailed it and so did my partner. My teacher said,"Great job girls!"
I felt proud of myself because I practised really hard at home. After that Launoa,Akesa and I taught each other what we did not know. Launoa taught me the Spanish song and then Launoa and I taught Akesa the ode of Joy song and the Spanish song.
           Before long, my teacher taught us the rest of the notes. The notes were E,C7,G,D and A7. After we have mastered it we taught others that what they did not know how to play. After that I reminded Launoa to bring her guitar on Monday. Time flew by and was nearly eleven o'clock so we learnt one last song before class ended. The time went by like a speedy car.
           Today was awesome because I learnt new notes and songs. I want to learn even more songs next time I can share it with my family.
