But when Mrs. Gregorchuk started to teach me how to play, I began to get much better at it. At 1st week I started to get some basics. The 2nd week I was actually playing a song. The 3rd week I had a test I did well on. And on week 4 I began to feel comfortable with this instrument and it became my favorite. I thank Mrs. Gregorchuk for helping me improove with this instrument.” F. M.
