Hi guys

Putting in regular practice time at home is the simplest way to get better on the guitar (or any skill for thst matter)  It also seems to be the hardest thing to get around to and so we decided to run a competition this term for Manawatu 4Front Students to help with this.  To enter you need to email me a photo designed to inspire us to put in those 5- 10 minutes a day (at least). You get points for orginality and weirdness so use your imagination and have some fun with it ! The most inspirational entry wins a gift from the Rockshop. You need parental consent to enter so make sure to ask and get your parent/caregiver to email a note with your photo entry. Happy snapping !  Craig B :)

Well I've just finished the last lesson for 2010 !

My last two students today Brittney and Emily are playing at their end of year prize giving tonight at Colyton School and I'm sure they will do well. (Go girls !) Thanks to all the students and families and schools for making time in your busy lives for guitar lessons and music this year.

The lessons stop but playing for me continues with my band "Easy" playing most weekends over the summer break. We are playing New Plymouth festival of lights Boxing Day evening this year - if anyone happens to be holidaying up there at the time come along and say hi ! It should be a fun night.

I'm really looking forward to next year and catching up with you all on your 'guitar journey'. There are new schools starting in 2011 also which is pretty exciting.

Take care and remember to keep your guitar out of its case over the holidays:)

Craig
