At first we were having fun by looking at people’s pictures and the the comments that were left, but the carefree mood soon took a turn for the worst. Kaylee, the “leader” of the group, was the one controlling the mouse. She was in control of my Facebook page. As we scrolled down my profile they found a girl named Skylar. Skylar lived right across the street from me, and we were good friends in my opinion. The only con was she spent most of her time at her dad’s house. Before I knew what was happening the trio started direct messaging her saying horrible things, and I went along. At the time it was just fun, something stupid to do, but I did not realize we were hurting her. Not until after we called her a few times.

“Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where trouble melts like lemon drops, high above the chimney top, that's where you'll find me. . .” are the famous lyrics to Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s ukulele song “Over The Rainbow”. It was also one the first songs I learned on the ukulele. On my birthday, senior year of high school, I received this small instrument with just four strings and the most beautiful sound. Of course, I had no clue on how to play it or where to even begin; whether to learn off YouTube or take lessons, deciding whether to use a pick or not, and even how to hold it correctly. I want to point out, while these might seem like silly issues to worry about, they really are important

So I went to school the day after I got my violin and towards the end of the day it was orchestra I was so excited until I opened my violin case. I just remembered my violin has only two strings.

Choosing any musical instrument is a serious decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. Taking the time to get an instrument that functions well from the outset will make it more likely that you'll continue

It is a string instrument with many techniques, parts, advantages and disadvantages. Can you teach yourself guitar? Yes, you can. Many ways to learn would be independent study, reading or a real-time guitar based video game that uses a real guitar. Rocksmith 2014 would be a good example.

In “Essential Elements for Strings” by Allen, Gillespie, and Hayes, instructions are clear and logical. The parts of the instrument and bow are introduced and care of the instrument is defined clearly. The book introduces skills with directions and illustrations that help build up to effectively playing the instrument. Basic music vocabulary is introduced and the student is instructed to play pizzicato on the open strings. Learning to play pizzicato is much more effective than immediately playing with the bow as in the other two books. The note names are inscribed in the note heads to help the student associate the location of the notes on the staff as well as learn the names. The wonderful finger pattern is then introduced to teach E, F#, and G on the D string. The pattern is illustrated as well as described. The book then uses an effective method of holding the bow by practicing on a pencil with illustrations and clear instructions. Different exercises help to hold the bow

My interest in guitar started when my friend used to bring his guitar everyday and I would always want to play but didn't know how. I would always ask him to teach me how to play but I didn't know any of the chords and notes, therefore, I just gave up on attempting to play this new instrument. However, guitar is an elective that’s offered here at Kennedy, so I decided to take the class. I noticed that my friend was getting better the more he practiced, so I decided to join the class to learn the basics and get started on this new journey. At first, it was difficult to understand the notes because I didn’t have any musical background to help assist me for my own benefit. However, I began to focus more in class to learn the basics day by day. Overtime, I learned that you can't learn guitar in one day and you need a lot of practice to get better. I also discovered how progress is important to reach my end goal.

How do instruments automatically achieve a kind of irresistible cachet just because they 've clocked up a bit of mileage?Once upon a time a 1958 Fender Stratocaster was just a second-hand guitar; now, it 's a holy relic. Let 's face it, the vintage instrument market has become VERY silly over the last 20 years or so, with investors all over the world hoovering up any old six string with a few dings, wrinkles and a six figure price tag... But what 's the appeal? How do instruments automatically achieve a kind of irresistible cachet just because they 've clocked up a bit of mileage?Being a little on the vintage side myself, I can remember pressing my nose up against the shop windows of London 's Tin Pan Alley during the early 1970s and lusting after Gibson Les Pauls. Back then, I wanted to be Jimmy Page and so I reasoned that I had to equip myself with the right tool for the job. Some of the guitars that set my eyes aglow back then were undoubtedly the Grail instruments of today 's vintage market - but in those days they would have probably cost around £275, including a case and a spare set of strings.Alas, I never bought a Les Paul back then, settling instead for a Gibson SG which I sold several years later when I caught a bad case of jazz and consequently renounced solid body guitars in favour of arch tops. What can I say? I was young and capricious...So when everything began going nuts during the 1990s, I kicked myself for lack of foresight, but, being a rational chap,
