Making a 2nd blog
As part of our Bachelor of Education program, we’ve been instructed with the task of developing a professional resource.

Over the term, I’ve been dedicating time to learning my chosen piece. When I first choose this goal, I figured I would be able to learn the entire piece with relative ease. Now at the end of term, it has become clear that my original goal was very ambitious. The song itself is about 2:50,…
