I have NO musical talent. Buckets are made for people like me to carry tunes around and the handle is broken on mine.

If there is one envy I have in life it is the envy of people who DO have musical talent. I wish I could be like them.

Wanna hear something sad? I’ve had a piano for years and used to play.....even had a recital when I was taking lessons long ago. As the years went along I stopped playing so when I was cleaning out closets a few weeks ago found my sheet music and hymnals and went in to play and I can’t do it anymore.....it should be like riding a bicycle, once you start to ride one you never forget but my music isn’t working anymore but I’m not giving up. I gotta get it back......I’d like to play again before I kick the bucket but I hope mine still has the handle..lol

Good luck. Practice for performance, not perfection.

My third degree was an MA in TESL.

I have taught students from 16 different nations but my favourites have always been Japanese students, who have such social barriers to sounding strange and risk taking in language learning.

Once my Japanese students cultivated an English persona, they learned very quickly.
