Your love letters are my appetizer
Your guffawing is my drug
And you’re my daily bread chaser…
Ha ha, you swear… I’m your ladybug,
Who you’d always keep fuller,
But now you swell…It’s you I brag!
Gotcha! My appetizer, I grab you first
Here are those words that you burst:
MY LOVE
I miss you, I miss you so much
I cannot wait to be with you…
And kiss you and hold you in my arms.
I have so many love and hugs to give you
My love for you and my feelings are present
And it’s growing and glowing every day.
Each day I would discover you,
Each day you are different,
Each day you are beautiful,
Each day everything is all new…
Each day my love for you would remain
Very strong that I’d have it hard to contain!
Each day I love you with all my heart!
And I promise we will never be apart…
Oh, I am sick of love for you
Henceforth, today
If you want to hurt me, you can…
I am at your knees!
I am your love on the altar of sacrifice.
If you had ever had wished…
You can tear my heart at every moment,
And I am not afraid to love you,
You are someone special and different…
With you my scars have been healed
And all my fears have vanished…
I already know that I will share much with you,
I already know I am going through a lot with you,
I already know I will stay with you
until the end of my days…
My heart and my mind are wide open for you…
Oh, my love is open at great day for you!
I love you deeply…I believe in you
Forever, with grace…
Yes! Truly these words are MY APPETIZER
Next you’d enhance my day with a booster…
Because you’d let me eat you any time I’d plea
Likewise you’d never ever want to leave me
or look your way out, ‘coz with me you feel free
Hahaha, we’d always find our days end with glee!
Ah! MY BREAD, you’d give me all the nutrients I need
As we breathe together with our true loving seed.
When I drink you up MY DRUG, my master
Like cocaine, Oh my… you got me so addicted
I wouldn’t have a day without your dopey laughter
You’re my heart-sore…you got me so captivated.
“Yes, hear me all my dear Folks!
Take delight in my Chef’ stroke…
He’d bake faces- a wry face, a wince, a glower
So that with him, I wouldn’t ever get bore
Though I would try his glances to ignore
Still here I am, I crave for him! Even I’d get sour
With all of the sound of his freaky snore…
Hehehe… Very strange! Because those lion’s roar
Would only sound-like the jazz music I adore…
And with it, never would give me a bit of a bother
So funny…I’d sleep deeply sound and even soar…
In the morning I would rush up to the platter
When I’d hear the wake up call of a rooster
But never from the clinch of my sweet and wild boar
You bet, I’d yearn for him more… he’d pet me to endure…”
Gosh! You spoil me with your French kiss
With all of your love appetizer to taste…
As much as I could have you all embraced
You’re all mine to feel full and be blazed!
You always give me the best of your all,
All the fun and laughter that I needed
My love, you’re my drug, and my soul
You alone I would ever get me addicted…
Every day with you is an awe-inspiring ball
With all of your love recipes I would deserve,
Oh, my daily bread you’re unique from them all,
I would have you always loved and preserved…

Rappers are the new generation’s poets. If you are a rapper then you possess a talent that needs to be improved and honed. Looking for your competitive and winning edge is the best thing you will do and here is the best article for you. Your connection with your rap is the greatest weapon you could develop. Every piece of rap is a piece of your soul and it is a requirement to find the best beat to perfectly fit your rap in the most outstanding harmony. This will make you a unique rapper.
The main key is to practice your rap using different beats and adjusting them according to your phase and style. Practice is done hundred times before you figure out that a certain beat compliments your lyrics and your rhythm. Like any other profession, you need to search and study all the famous raps and rap beats in history to come out with an equally successful piece. The secret that other legendary rappers have is creating their unique and catchy beat. Something that is hard to imitate and to get out it out of the mind. Lyrics and rap beats should be nicely executed at the same time.
Style is also as important as a unique rap beat. It doesn’t have to be too complicated; audience loves something they can relate to and sing to. Something not too common but something fun.
Expressing yourself aims to relate to others and win their applause or attention. Having a famous idol will do you good. Practice, memorize, and master the raps from your favorite rap artists. Learn how they execute their style, how they move, their rap beats and how the throw their lines. When you can rap a favorite piece so perfectly, you are adapting to that artist’s ability and quality as a rapper.
Here are some styles that are used by known rappers; ‘The Chant’ (Used by Lil Jon and Project Pat), ‘The Syncopated Bounce’ (Used by Twista and Bone Thugs N Harmony), ‘Straight Forward’ (Used by Scarface, 2Pac, Melle Mel, KRS-One circa Boogie Down Productions era, Too Short, Jay-Z, Ice Cube, and Snoop Dogg), ‘The Rubik’s Cube’ (Used by Nas, Black Thought of The Roots, Common, Kurupt, and Lauryn Hill) and ’2-5-Flow’ (Used by Camp Mulla). The more exposure to professional rappers, the more change you have to familiarize with impressive styles and rap beats then modify your own to a star quality rap.
Another effective technique that most rappers whether professional, amateur, or beginners do is recording their rap and creating different beats for it. It will be of a huge difference if you find the software that will allow you to create your very own rap beats and at the same time clearly record your rap. This has been a breakthrough in many young rappers to develop and reach their full potential as rap artists.

With the rise of gay and lesbian unions, many couples are finally deciding to take the plunge and have a public commitment ceremony. Although several states now legally recognize same sex unions, many do not. If you have decided to make your relationship ‘official’ you may wonder who will perform a ceremony for you.
If you live in a state where same sex unions are not legally recognized, finding an officiant may be a difficult task. However, there are several options available to you.
If you would like a religious commitment ceremony, check with your local congregation. If you do not belong to a congregation, check with your local Unitarian Universalist, Episcopalian, Protestant, Buddhist, and Reform Judaism congregations. Some allow same sex unions and some religions leave it up to the judgment of their clergy. Do not get disappointed if your first few contacts do not perform such ceremonies, there are plenty of ministers and rabbis who do. You may also want to visit gay friendly internet communities to find recommendations for clergy in your area.
If clergy or a justice of the peace is not an option, you may consider asking a friend or close family member who is good at public speaking to officiate the ceremony. Consider people who are completely supportive of you and who will have wise things to say about love and marriage. Their words should be reflective of your relationship and commitment to each other.
Once you have selected someone to perform your ceremony, make sure you go over all the details of your union. Be sure to discuss how you would like the ceremony to be performed, how you will perform your vows, and what the officiant will say during the service. It is important to your wedding day that everyone is on the same page and knows what needs to be done.
Finally, if you cannot find someone who is appropriate for your needs, consider having a ceremony that you both will officiate. In this situation, you both would welcome those who have come, say a short reading or something reflective about your relationship, exchange vows, exchange rings and seal your public commitment with a kiss. If you are a bit shy publicly speaking, this option may not be for you.

Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of luxury automobiles and have always aimed to be at the pinnacle of the prestige automotive and luxury car market.
The Mercedes-Benz name first appeared on a vehicle in 1926, but the origin of the company can be traced back to its founders Karl Benz’s “Motorwagen” patent in 1886 and Gottlieb Daimler’s 1901 “Mercedes”.
After both companies merged in 1926 the company enjoyed many successes in motor sport and in particular road and track racing at famous historical races such as; the French Le Mans 24 Hour Race, the Italian Mille Miglia and the German Nurburgring race track.
In keeping with tradition the Mercedes-Benz company is still true to its roots and is currently active in three main areas of motor sport, which are; Formula Three, DTM and Formula One. In Formula One they have a dedicated Mercedes-Benz team and also a collaborative sponsored team with the hugely successful racing and sports car company McLaren.
Mercedes-Benz has built up an enviable reputation for reliability and durability from its international prestigious luxury motor cars, with many heads of state, celebrities, successful business people and even the Pope choosing a Mercedes as a preferred car.
Not a company to rest on its laurels and it is always developing new ideas and automotive technology, with its commitment to new greener technologies, like petrol or diesel-electric Hybrid model options, natural gas-fuelled engines in some models. The latest “Blue-TEC” models which are equipped with diesel engine and have selective catalytic reduction exhaust after-treatment and also “Blue-Effiency” models which have special fuel economy features such as direct injection, electronic start-stop system, plus various aerodynamic modifications.
All of this new technology has been developed over many years of research; some of these have come from its racing history, but mostly from innovative technical design processes. These advancements which have already been introduced into the current range, has seen the Mercedes-Benz recognised by the motoring press where they have no less than three vehicles shortlisted for the forthcoming “UK Car of the Year Award” which will be announced in early 2012.
The Mercedes-Benz brand has also seen a growing demand trend for its high-end luxury car models, which have been enjoy significant rises in their exports to not only traditional markets like the USA, by new emerging markets like India and China where there has been so much economic growth in the last few years. So the future currently looks not only greener for Mercedes, but also rosier one.

A ‘video short’ is short film featurette, generally less than 10 minutes long. They are sometimes professionally produced, but with the increasing number of video competitions on the internet, we are seeing more and more talented amateur videos.
It’s easier than you might think to create a video short for your own personal use or to enter in a competition.
Outline your plan of attack. Use a good quality camera that shoots high resolution video. If you have friends who can help, ask a friend to bring a backup camera and shoot the same scenes from a different angle. Know what kind of shots you want to have before you begin shooting. An outline or even a storyboard is a good idea. Scout out your locations and pick areas that either have interesting backgrounds, or bland backgrounds like grass, trees, or water. If you are using speaking lines, write the script in advance and have your ‘actors’ practice their lines.
Keep your footage clean. Be aware of things going on in the background that will detract from your story or your point. Watch for things like passing people, cars, dogs, and even shadows cast by onlookers. Keep away from noise-it’s amazing what your camera will pick up! Ask people around you not to talk. If they won’t comply, you should move to a quieter area. Other background noises that will ruin your footage are things like diesel buses, heavy traffic, angry blue jays, planes, shrieking kids, squeaking doors, and furniture rumble.
Keep the energy up! If you are using people in your video, keep them smiling and laughing and try to help them relax. Crack jokes, and promise to save the humiliating outtakes for a joke reel. Let them ad lib a little if they like. In general, keep your video cast relaxed and make sure they’re having fun. Keep your eyes open for little moments and vignettes that are unexpected but that might be sweet, touching or funny when included in your finished reel.
Shoot at least three times as much footage as you need. If you are planning to produce a three minute video, you should have at least 10 minutes, preferably 20 minutes, of video clips.
Do you need to convert your files? Many current cameras store videos as .mp4 files, but the most common video editors can only handle .mp3 files. Never fear, there are shareware and freeware programs that will convert .mp4 files to .mp3 or .avi files so that you can work with them in simple editors like Windows Movie Maker.
Edit, edit, edit. Now begins the process of putting it all together. The steps I’m about to describe apply to Windows Movie Maker, but may apply to other video editors as well. Upload all your video clips into your video editing program. Every time you turned your camera on and off, that footage was saved as a separate clip, so you’ll probably have quite a few separate files. The files will be displayed as icons on a whiteboard.
Drag your clips onto the video story line at the bottom of the screen, in the order you want them to appear. To remove footage you don’t want from the beginning or end of a clip, use the cut function to trim ends of clips. To remove footage from the middle of a clip, just split it in half and trim the ends. You can also delete an entire clip by simply hitting the delete button.
Once you have edited and trimmed your footage down to a workable timeline, you can provide graceful screen transitions by simply sliding each clip over the next one about a quarter-inch. This will create a ‘fade’ into the next scene.
Add music by uploading a sound file into WMM, and dragging it to the audio track timeline. You can slide it backward and forward on the track to adjust when it starts on your video. Be sure you own the rights to any music you use, or download music clips from a site that allows personal use.
Add your titles, end credits, and any title overlays that you want to place along the timeline. You can change the background, font, time, and overall appearance of your print titles. The title pages also go on their own track and you will be able to slide them back and forth to position them exactly where you want them in your footage.
Review and fine tune your final draft. There may be spots you can adjust slightly so that the action matches the music closely-try trimming a little more, or varying the length of a scene fade. WMM can also mask background noises so the music and voice overs are clear-unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to apply to individual clips, you can only mask the whole video for background sound.
The final step is to save your project as a film file. Until you choose ‘Finish Movie’ WMM saves your work as a ‘project’. It’s not a movie yet-just a storyboard and a collection of clips and audio. Once you choose to finish it, WMM saves it as a single .wmv file that is playable on most video playback programs and devices. (Don’t worry, you can always re-edit your project and save it as a revised movie.)
That’s it! You can now post your finished movie to your blog or website, email it to friends or clients, enter it video competitions, or upload it to video sites like YouTube and Vimeo. Congratulations!

Across this great nation of ours this October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). In fact, this year’s DVAM marks the 24th year of October serving as DVAM. Back in 1981, one day in October, then called the Day of Unity, organized by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence as a day to “connect advocates across the nation who were working to end violence against women and their children.” First expanding to week, and a later a month as know it today, DVAM is going stronger than ever in its 24th year. As a tribute to DVAM, take a look at your relationships and the relationships of those closest to you for any signs of domestic abuse or violence.
First, let’s examine precisely what domestic abuse or violence is. From the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, their definition of domestic abuse or violence is as follows: “Domestic violence is best understood as a pattern of abusive behaviors — including physical, sexual, and psychological attacks as well as economic coercion — used by one intimate partner against another (adult or adolescent) to gain, maintain, or regain power and control in the relationship. Batterers use of a range of tactics to frighten, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, often injure, and sometimes kill a current or former intimate partner.”
Now that we have a broad and encompassing definition of domestic abuse or violence, the next step is to try and determine if you are a victim of domestic abuse. Since our definition looks at domestic abuse or violence as a pattern of abusive behaviors, determining if you are a victim is not as easy as recalling a specific event and matching it to a checklist. A Seattle domestic violence lawyer recommends taking a look at several resources found online, including:
- “Am I being abused?” by the National Domestic Violence Hotline
- “Am I in an abusive relationship?” by the Safe Space
- The Domestic Abuse Intervention Project in Duluth, MN’s “Power and Control Wheel”
Briefly examining some of the above resources, some questions found in “Am I in an abusive relationship?” ask does your partner do the following:
- tries to stop the other person from seeing friends or family members
- prevents the other person from working or attending school
- destroys the other person’s property or threatens to kill pets
One of the other resources recommended by a Seattle domestic violence lawyer is an online quiz consisting of 26 questions that asks you to ask yourself a series of ‘yes or no’ questions about the person you are in a relationship with. Some sample ‘yes or no’ questions from the quiz entitled “Quiz: Is Your Relationship Healthy” also by the Safe Space include:
- Puts me down, calls me names or criticizes me.
- Tries to control what I do and who I see.
- Is not liked very well by my friends.
Taking a real look at your relationships with the assorted directives outlined in these resources, one should be able to suss out any warning signs of domestic abuse or violence. Here in Washington State, there are numerous resources for victims of domestic abuse. A Seattle domestic violence attorney recommends that those who have been abused by an intimate partner call the Washington State Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-562-6025, or for those outside the Washington State area, the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

Ever wondered which is the most sexual and feminine sexual position?
Well, the award undoubtedly goes to the missionary position! Yes, that old andboring man on top that can bring more satisfaction than you could imagine. No acrobatic positions, no pain and struggle, just complete focus on the pleasure sex should bring to both the partners.
This position is both feminine and erotic.
It offers the perfect environment for a woman to feel loved, taken care of and close to you at the same time. The missionary position is also the most comforting to finish for the woman and, with a little communication, for the man as well.
If you’re still not convinced maybe you should fine-tune it a little bit.
A couple of hard pillows under her hips and the difference will make her moan with pleasure.
You can gently spread her legs or just suggest her she should wrap them around your waist.
Put one or both over your shoulders and you’ll get the effect of a turbo engine.
With some training and patience this position will soon become number one. And all of this because it is perhaps the most adaptable one. Everybody can feel great while making love in the missionary position.
Many women find it easier to have an orgasm in this position because they are more relaxed and don’t have to think about their performance as in other positions. All they have to do is close their eyes, sit back and relax while the orgasm slowly surrounds them.
This position can give the woman plenty of clitoral stimulation if the man leans forward thus rubbing his pelvic bone against her clitoris. It also allows the manual stimulation of her clitoris. The missionary position is just great for those who love intimacy during sex as they can remain face to face while making love and enjoy each other as they reach orgasm to the full. The man can kiss and caress the woman, touch her breasts and abdomen while she can touch and rub his head, shoulders, back, and butt.
If at any time during sex in the missionary position you need to make a little change, you can always roll around and shift into a different one without too much trouble. All of this adds variety to a position many consider to dull to bring pleasure.
All in all, the missionary position feels so natural and erotic that it could never become obsolete.
Want to learn even more awesome positions to drive both her and you wild?

Here’s a Great Letter to Use to Attract Single Women in the Personals:
I highly recommend that you play the personals for dating, love, sex, and romance. And when you answer a woman’s ad for the first time here’s a great letter to use. Just edit it to use for yourself. This letter will really make a good impression on single women and make her want to write you back. Try it, it works!:
Dear…
Let’s become good friends, then…Hope for a beautiful relationship.
I feel that before we can have a good relationship, we must put forth the energy and time it takes to first become good friends. Friendship is one of the most important building blocks of a good relationship. To me, friends are like flowers in the garden of life.
My desire is to meet a beautiful, sensitive, sensuous, warm, assertive single lady who wants a friend. My interpretation of a friend is one to whom you can pour out all the contents of your heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentleness of hands will take it all, sift it, keep that which is worth keeping and, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away. I thank you in advance for allowing me to be that kind of friend to you.
If you feel it would be good for us to meet, write and tell me more about yourself. And please have good thoughts about our further relationship, for thoughts are like seeds. All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seed of today.
Let me tell you about myself. I am divorced (five years ago), Caucasian, dark brown hair, blue eyes, 6′ 3″, trim 175 lbs., clean-cut and a healthy gentleman. I am self-sufficient, handsome, self-employed (businessman), happy, secure, self-confident, psychologically aware, emotionally and financially secure.
I love poetry, books, walks on the beach and cozy candlelight dinners. I enjoy movies, television, music, traveling, the desert, the quietness of the mountains, the ocean, sunrises and sunsets.
I am comfortable in jeans or a nice Italian suit. A nonsmoker/drinker, not into drugs (don’t need them; I live in a natural high). I believe in enjoying the good life and am high on it. I have a healthy attitude about God and the Bible.
I am not a game player. I never want personal happiness at the expense of someone else. If we have a single date or a lifetime together, I will never lie to you, try to manipulate you or use you in any way. I am an incurable romantic who treasures, cherishes and appreciates sincerity, integrity, honesty and warmth. I enjoy picnics, laughing, talking, touching, affection and physical closeness. A good listener who enjoys mutual spoiling and also I am a one-woman man.
I am looking for a special, loving relationship with a unique lady who is affectionate, beautiful, slender, with a shapely figure, sincere, easygoing, with interests and characteristics similar to mine…someone who wants a meaningful, serious, long-term relationship…not just a few dates. Are you that special lady?
All it will take to find out whether or not things might work between you and me is a 32-cent stamp and five minutes of your time to write me a letter. Physical attraction to me is as important as the other things I have mentioned. Please send a recent photo (not over one year old) of yourself. I will send my recent photo when I answer your letter. I would also appreciate you sending your phone number.
Well, what do you think? Isn’t this a great letter! You could also use this for online personals too. The next step is up to you…Try the personals, they sure worked for me!

If you’re involved with someone who lives in the same state or country as you do, you’re considered one of the lucky ones! A study shows that there can easily be about 6 million couples in the US alone who are in long distance relationships (LDR) and the number increases every year due to online dating. Can long distance relationships work?
The challenges that couples face in this kind of relationship differ, depending on what level the relationship is on. If the relationship is new, and has not been given enough time to develop, the challenge to keep it alive is greater than if there has been more time shared before one partner relocates.
If you’re already in a long distance relationship or contemplating on getting into one, here are a couple of things you can do to make the relationship vibrant in spite of the miles in between:
Think positive. People looking from the outside will often see that your relationship is doomed, because of the distance between you and your partner. Do not listen to people who would readily put down your relationship, but instead, if you want to make it work, fill your days with positive thoughts and shun out the negative criticisms that you may hear.
Forecast an end goal to the separation. You and your partner should agree on the time frame as to when this arrangement will last. Make the deadline realistic – one, that will also allow for both of you to reach your other goals which probably started the separation in the first place. The deadline should be mutually agreed, because if it’s just one partner setting the date, the other partner may feel pressured and may even find the relationship an impediment to personal growth.
Communicate. With internet, reaching out to your partner, even at the remotest part of the earth is no longer impossible. Emails and phone calls are great ways to establish intimacy, and can bridge that distance. Also, take the time to write long loving letters to each other to spice up the romance.Share even the most mundane events of the day to make your partner feel that closeness and that he or she is a part of your every day life.
Meet up. This is an important step to keep the relationship alive and if you consider your relationship a priority, you would find ways to meet up, even though it may get expensive sometimes. It adds up to the excitement whenever you and your partner has a date to look forward to, like a shared weekend or even a once a month date.
Build Trust. It’s normal to feel fear and anxiety that your partner may become unfaithful because of the mere fact that you are not together most of the time. However, studies show that it’s not the distance between the couple, but the overall quality of the relationship which will determine if infidelity will happen. Strengthen the relationship and you’ll find that it will be very difficult for you or your partner to stray away.
A long distance relationship probably takes more work than a regular “geographically close” one. But LDR is a fact of today’s world and something that can still work as long as both partners are committed to keep the relationship alive and exciting.

Learning to play a music instrument is one of the most rewarding things that a person can do… Music is wonderful to listen to, and even more enjoyable to play. Many millions of people worldwide take up an instrument each year, some may wish to pursue their studies with a view to becoming a professional musician, whilst others are happy to play at home for their own enjoyment. Whatever the reason, making music is a great pastime.
First of all, let me mention one important point, one that I get asked very often….. I often hear people say “Oh, Id love to play the piano (or guitar, drums,etc) but I’m too old!”… this is nonsense!!! Age is no barrier at all to enjoying music making.. OK, so if you take up the guitar in later life its unlikely you will end up in a top 40 boy band, but you will have a whole new hobby to keep you entertained and have a lot of fun. In my own teaching practice Ive usually found that older students do extremely well… they are usually there because they really want to be there, and therefore work hard and take time to practice. So, whatever your age, be it 8 years old or 80, if you want to play a musical instrument, NOW is the time!
So, you’ve decided that you really want to take up music.. firstly you need to think about what instrument you’ll play. Most people have a very definite idea here, be it a classical instrument such as the violin, cello, clarinet etc, or maybe if you prefer more modern music perhaps the drums, guitar, bass or keyboards. Sometimes your personal circumstances need to be looked at.. do you aim to make music with other people, or just by yourself? if the latter then maybe look at playing guitar or piano, whereas drums, bass etc really need to be played with other musicians to get the most out of them. Also, practical things need to be taken into account.. can you fit a drumkit into your flat? Will the neighbours complain?
The next step is to find a good teacher, and id suggest that you have a couple of lessons before you buy an instrument, just to make sure that you like it and will stick at it. Finding a teacher is usually easy enough… The first port of call could be your local musical instrument store, as they tend to know most of the local music tutors and can tend to personally recommend some. You could also contact organisations such as the musicians union for a list of teachers, or try searching online. Once you have found a teacher that you think will fit the bill, take the plunge,pick up the phone and book that all important first lesson!! For some people this is a big step and most experienced music teachers will expect you to be a bit nervous and will try and put you at ease. So go along to the lesson, enjoy it, ask questions, and if you feel like you and the teacher will get along then you can feel confident about booking more lessons. If for any reason you feel that you and the tutor don’t quite gel, feel free to look elsewhere…. try out some other teachers if need be. In the UK, if you are looking for lessons for children then check that the teacher has a CRB certificate.. this shows that the tutors background has been looked into and he/she has no criminal convictions etc.
Your music tutor should help you to work out what your goals are…. do you want to get good enough to maybe start a band with friends? or perhaps you fancy joining a local amateur orchestra? Or take music grade exams? Exams have really become up to date now, with examination boards such as Rockschool offering drum, guitar and bass exams involving playing along to backing tracks etc. Let your teacher know so that they can tailor the lessons with your goals in mind. Your teacher could also help to advise you once you have decided to invest in an instrument of your own.. they tend to have good relations with the local music stores and also know what to look out for etc. So its good to listen to their advice rather than buying blind.
By this stage, you are on the path to your future musical adventures! There will be times when things go well, and times when things don’t go quite so well, but persevere and you will find fulfillment and enjoyment in your studies.
I’m my own teaching practice, I find it extremely satisfying to see people develop from that first nerve wracking lesson, and see their confidence grow. Ive also worked with children with autism and seeing their progress was a hugely rewarding experience. Music is for everyone, regardless of age or ability, so get involved!
