No, I thought Gene was the owner of the list. Hi Lee, I hope you come out of hiding!

I'm a better teacher than a player (isn't that the way it always goes?). I have a 14 year old student that started with me 1-1/2 years ago whose talent is mindboggling. He is playing college level classical pieces as well as some heavy duty rock and roll with equal fluidity. It keeps me on my toes and introduces me to newer music. I encourage kids in whatever genre they like, but do require a classical foundation. We work on both simulatanously so they don't get bored. They end up with multiple guitars. This one knows notation and tablature, and is now learning how to arrange for the guitar and to transpose into different keys.

Ray, I think what you are working towards is fantastic. My husband always says the kids in band make better academic grades than those who aren't. The child I am referencing above is academically an excellent student, and does well in film making and hang gliding hobbies, too. I would love to see charter schools based on arts and nature spring up.

Bev, who hopes this music/guitar thread might lure Lee out of hiding.
Y'all do know that our list owner is a famous guitar player in a rock
band, don't you?

I teach guitar and music theory to private students once a week. It was nice to discover Lynda and you, Bev, also play. I bet there's a lot of talented musicians on this list. It's a very handy way to entertain yourself and others in a rural setting and is a great way to create community.
