レッスン備忘録4/6 南砂町カルチャーセンター月曜昼クラス

4月6日(月)

南砂町カルチャーセンター月曜日昼クラス

基礎練習：コードストローク
課題曲：The Beauty Hula
ウクレレソロを左手・各指の動きを細かく説明して練習しました。
良く弾けて歌えています。
ウクレレソロはあくまでも低速で練習し、先を急ぐ指の動きをなくしていくといいでしょう。
仕上がってきましたね！！

高井戸の桜2015

3月30日(月)　

自宅最寄の駅は井の頭線の高井戸駅。
駅のすぐ近くに神田川が流れていて、川の両側は春になると桜が咲きます。
3月30日に見に行った時は桜満開。5日早い桜です。
4月に入り、雨や風で大分散ってしまいましたが、この画像はその前の美しい桜です。

桜はそのはかなさが武士のいさぎよい生き方に例えられます。
人は常にいさぎよく生きなければいけませんね。











いつもでも咲いていて欲しい・・・・。
