/Kyle really likes playing the guitar. However, this wasn’t always the case. He used to take piano lessons when he was in grade school for around 4 years but he soon lost interest and quit. He played trombone for a year in grade 6 but he didn’t like that either and quit playing any instrument until grade 10. His parents were trying to convince him that an instrument was a good thing to learn. At first he was uncertain but then he decided to learn guitar. It just so happened that a new guitar teacher in Kyle’s home town was looking for students. Kyle took advantage of this great offer and started his lessons. He began playing how any other person would start playing, sounding really bad. Kyle didn’t seem to understand that everyone started out sounding bad and so he got discouraged. The first year of his lessons went by slowly for him and he hardly practised and didn’t really enjoy it because he felt he wasn’t making any progress. If it wasn’t for his mom who gently pressured him into taking another year, he probably would have been done after his first. The second year went by better and Kyle began to see how much of an improvement he was since he first started. Soon he was in his third year of lessons and he was finally starting to enjoy the guitar. He still wasn’t the best but he was having fun playing songs and he was always excited when a song actually started sounding like it was supposed to. Now that he is away at Providence College, he has learned how much he actually loves playing the guitar. He can often be found in his dorm playing guitar quietly (sometimes too loud) to himself and just enjoying the fact that he can make music.
