It's been a fun, fast 12 week session. Thank you for being part of it. Sometimes it is hard to measure your progress on a daily or weekly basis because there is always a new challenge. So, spend some time thinking back to September and be sure to "own" and celebrate the new things you have learned, and always be kind to yourself. It's all about the JOY of learning and playing music!
I have attached on the resource page the Suggested Daily Practice for Book 1. This is just to offer you guidance for your practice during our 2 month break. 
I have also attached This Land Is Your Land in 3 different keys for you to use as an example for playing (chords) by ear. I have deliberately not put the chords over all the words so that you can practice listening for when the changes come. This Song uses a I, IV, I, V (or V7)  pattern all the way through. 
Book 2 classes will start on Feb 16. Expect an email from me on Feb 1, about where to send checks to register.

Our first performance will be this SATURDAY at the BUG Jam:
2:00, St James Prebyterian Church,  910 14th St. - downstairs. 

Next Week - our last class in Book 1 - we'll review El Tortillero

and then move on to Everybody Loves Saturday Night and Lukey's boat.

If we have time we'll begin to work on The FLower Drum Song. Please listen to it on your CD. Slow version is on the resource page

FEB Book 2 Class - At this time I expect to maintain the same 2 classes at the same time and same day of the week (Tuesday). The (new) start date for the 12 week session is February 16. 
The cost will be $150.00 for the course, plus $25.00 for materials. I will send out an email to all of you as soon as I return from Mexico in early Feb. and I will need to order materials right away.
You can pay me when I get back, or if you prefer, you can pay for the course now.
