Guitar Recital: A Great Start

Yesterday was a special day not only for me but for my whole family.  It was my  first time to perform using an instrument.

I remember when my Dad and Mom asked me last month what instrument would I like to enroll this summer.  Violin was really my first choice.  But unfortunately, it's not available and it's very difficult to find an instructor here in Saudi Arabia.

My Mom advised me to try guitar instead since it's almost similar to violin. To boost their encouragement, my Dad promised me to reward any toy I would like to buy if I finish my guitar lessons.

I know ever since,  they would give only the best things for me.  So with no more second thoughts I enrolled in guitar lessons in AL Taj International School in Riyadh.

Truly, after 2 months of  training, I learned the basic lessons of guitar.  I gain more confidence and I discover my other potentials as far as music is concerned.






Aside from that, I met new friends.  What excites me more is the upcoming intermediate lessons wherein I will be studying with my friends as well.

This is a good start for the me since I will be returning to a regular school this June.

By the way,  as promised by my Dad... I got my toy for my collections.
