Lesson Comments

Both Anna and Quinn played well when they were able to focus, but we did have some behavior issues. Quinn would not sit still and practice his chords while I was working with Anna, and Anna had an emotional meltdown when trying to play through her song. We eventually were able to move past it and get through their songs and exercises.
