I have fully looked through the whole unit outline for ‘Key Approaches in Music Education,’ and what it is expected of me this Semester. I decided that I wanted to learn the guitar, as it is the second most popular instrument in the world right now.

In preparation for the upcoming assessment task two of this course, I immediately started learning and playing a few guitar chords, such as – AM, Am, CM, D.

The most difficult chord I find so hard to play with at the moment is C major. This extraordinary chord on the guitar requires a tremendous amount of stretching skills from the fingers, in order to get it right!

As a guitar beginner, this is such a huge challenge for me to overcome. And as far as I am concerned, I am aware that there are other chords, like C major, that also require big stretching.

No matter how tough the task is, I am still very committed and determined to get it done.”
