I'll start off by repeating myself. I LOVE taking lessons. I enjoyed working on the instrument on my own, but as I progress under the guidance of Chikuzen, more and more of the instrument opens up to me.
Granted, I have only had a hand full of lessons, but the entire process is engaging and rewarding. A big part of why I like it is definitely because I am getting better faster, but there is more...
-Getting regular feed back and help
-connecting "face to face" with a teacher / player. There is no live community around me.
-having new material and challenges layed out for me by someone who has done it before.
-practicing and playing more regularly
I have no idea how far I can go with this process, but as long as I keep enjoying it in this way, I'll keep at it.
We're lucky to have Michael Gould as our teacher. He is very skilled and patient with beginners. Glad you have connected with him.
