As an adult, life tends to get in the way of hobbies and interests. Because I am blessed to have this summer off, I want to ensure I do something productive with my time and in the process leave a record of my endeavor. With a little luck, someone in the digital realm might even stumble onto my blog and become inspired to learn to play a musical instrument-- maybe one that they've been told they are too old to learn.
The inspiration came from Brenda Miller & Suzanne Paola's bookTell It Slant; Creating, Refining, and publishing Creative Nonfiction. The writing exercise at the end of chapter 11, Writing online, provided the springboard for this blog idea:
“Eight Weeks, Two Hours a Day.” This would encourage me to stick with the titles schedule, and capture eight weeks worth of practice on my bass guitar. It would be interesting to see how my playing develops over that time… two hours a day over eight weeks would total 120 hours—compared to my current approximate four hours a week practice routine which totals 32 hours...
It will also include notes beyond the practice sessions, links to practice guides, photos, audio clips, videos ...and any other interesting bass related happenings.
I invite you dear reader, to come along with me on my latest undertaking; my Bass Guitar Adventures!
Stay tuned and in tune~
