A week off, a week playing music

Why did I go into teaching? Yes, holidays did figure in heavily into the decision (but of course I am now completely dedicated to the cause ; ). So it's the February half term and I get the chance to practice the autoharp and guitar.

Today and yesterday's focus: different strum patterns including waltz style 3/4 time with one low two high strums. Practice song: Clementine. LOVE IT. Not very good at it, but love it I do. I just adore these old songs. And it's sweet to hear my kids singing them.

I've also been having a practice of Buffalo Gals a favourite from my favourite movie. Not that I'm predictable or anything.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
