So I’ve started proper lessons…….
Seemed to go well, though I think Jo may have to get used to me jumping ahead of my ability on occasion. Most important thing for me is I’m starting to read music and use my left hand for more than a single note.
I’m still not overly convinced about the sound of 7th chords, but I’m sure in time (and when the fingering gets better) it’ll sound better. I’m starting at fairly basic level of book, but still there’s a lot which I cannot do. Biggest thing for me will be the sight reading, currently I memorise the pieces before playing. I’ll get there.
2nd lesson next Thursday (long weekend knackered it up a bit for Monday).
