does anyone have the sheet music for Happy Birthday? i want my husband to play it for Micah for his Birthday. i looked on the internet but they all charge a fee.

Lindsey, I think you should go for it and not stop like I did. I love listening to someone play the piano or the guitar. So relaxing. Now once you learn a song, you need to tape it for us to hear.

I want to take singing lessons. I have no ear for music, but I'd love to just be able to sing on key. When I was teaching, I would walk through the halls singing - it's just such a nice thing to do. (Not too loud of course)

I can carry a tune and I love to sing...just not in front of anyone..LOL. I have a karaoke machine and I love getting it out and singing.

I played guitar growing up. I regret not keeping it up, but what I enjoyed was playing with my friends. After I married and moved away I never had friends who played so I quit. I am sure you will love it. Once you master an instrument all the others come far easier to you, IMO you will be surprised I think by what is actually familiar to you from playing the piano!
good luck and enjoy!

way cool!! keep it up. have you had the lesson yet?

i have had a guitar for 30 years. i started at 18, played about a year the only off and on, mostly off.
i picked it back up last spring, and have been taking lessons since. it is muy wonderful. i have an acoustic.
i went to a college sale where they sell off instruments from the music program and i went just to look~ came away with one with a pickup and a built in tuner.
i really want to get a classical one next since that's what i started with.
we had a recital in november!!

gotta get the hang of this! one post didn't appear, then i responded to it with this message, then the first wastn't there, then went beyond the 5 minute edit and i don't know how to delete....if this makes any sense...yes a newbie...so once more the original post...

very cool!!! glad the lesson went well. keep it up.

i've had a guitar for 30 years, i took lessons for about a year, the off and on, mostly off so i'm not very good.
i picked it up last spring again, been taking lessons. i went to a guitar sale at a college in january to just look (yeah sure!)... they were selling off music program instruments, and i came away with one with a pickup and built in tuner.
i want to get a classical one next since that's what i started with way back when.
we had a recital last november!!

Haley, I don't have this, wish I'd seen your thread earlier, I was with a group of ladies earlier this evening who are into things like this, they might have.

When is Micah's b-day?

His Birthday is March 7th, but im having his Birthday party on March 8th on a Saturday.

Well the lesson went well. My teacher told me that I'm lucky I understand the notes because half the people he sees just can't wrap their heads around reading guitar notes. He gave me some simple exercises to practice, which I did tonight, and I've improved already

He did tell me I need new strings though, so I should get that done before next Monday's lesson.
I really love it so far!

Janet · 02-26-2008, 06:06 AM

You'll be really good if you keep practicing. Guitar music is so soothing.

DianaB · 02-26-2008, 12:14 PM

You'll have the guitar figured out in no time!!! That'll be so cool when you can play it!!
