Taught today. Second lesson with my second student. Went really well, I thought. I can already tell that her fingers are getting stronger, that the notes are getting easier to fret. She used her notebook this week, to write down some songs she wanted to work on. Most of them were fairly simple melodies, and of those, we ended up working on "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." Talk about teaching a lesson that took me back to my Suzuki Method, Violin days! In all seriousness, she picked it up really quickly (again), so that was cool to see.
Spent a couple of hours today perfecting the playlists for before the wedding, and during lunch/the reception. Sorted through all the songs to make sure that the ending of one song flowed nicely into the beginning of the next... and totally forgot that we have a few songs we need to buy off of itunes yet, which will likely mess up the entire flow. Hopefully it won't do so too badly, however, and reshuffling things won't take another two hours.
Played a little acoustic tonight. Swapped riffs back and forth over Skype with my brother. That's tough to do, somewhat, because of the slight delay in audio transfer that Skype invites, but it was still fun nonetheless. He's trying to figure out what to play for the open mic we're having at the reception, so both of us threw a bunch of ridiculous ideas back and forth, and eventually got down to at least a couple of songs that might actually make the cut. Good times.
Still searching for my giant block of time to sit and play. Tomorrow night, maybe?
