Guitar Lessons

“That is sacred—you have put your heart in it.”

—Charles Hawthorne, to a student, Hawthorne on Painting

Morgan, my 10-year-old son, has been taking guitar lessons for several years. His teacher is a local musician and an amazing teacher. During the pandemic, we have switched to virtual lessons using Skype, and they are working out better than I hoped; I can hear the improvement in my son’s playing.

I have been looking through some old sketchbooks, feeling nostalgic, and I found these pencil sketches of Morgan and his teacher during their guitar lessons from before the pandemic. I miss those days when they could be together in person; hopefully they will return soon.

Thank God for music and art!

That’s all I have to say today.
