do you play the harmonica?


Yesterday in the guitar class, our teacher Carlos surprised us with a little christmas gift: harmonicas!
I remembered that we had one in my parents´ house when I was a child, but I never knew how to play. Well maybe I´ll give it a try now (-;

Ayer en la clase de guitarra, nuestro profe Carlos nos sorprendió con un pequeño regalo de navidad: ¡harmónicas! Recuérdo que teníamos una muy vieja en casa de mis padres cuando era pequeña, pero nunca aprendí a tocar. Quizás lo pruebo ahora (-;

taking guitar lessons again

(this is me and my guitar when I was 10 years old)

On this way to bring back more creativity and art in my life it´s inevitable to reflect on what I loved to do as a child. Well, drawing and painting were always there, but also I remember that I loved to play the guitar. When I was 9 years old I started to take classes because it was my mother´s wish (well, back then I had preferred to take riding lessons). Although it was not my idea to learn the guitar, from the first lesson on I just loved it and continued taking classes once a week until I was 15. I really appreciate that my parents gave me this opportunity, not for granted having 4 children!
I continued playing for myself for some years more but then the guitar collected dust in the corner...
I have been thinking to restart playing the guitar for years and finally I signed up now for a groups class in a local cultural centre here in Madrid. It´s a mixed group of about 12 people, some of them never had a guitar in their hands and others have been playing for years. I am really curious how the teacher will arrange this class but I am sure it will be fun!
