Afton's first ever guitar recital was last week at the Mesa Women's Club in downtown Mesa, just around the corner from Milano's Music. She played Jingle Bell Rock with her awesome guitar teacher, James, strumming some background cords for harmony.

We were so proud of her. She can actually play it much much faster than this, but her teacher wanted her to slow it down for the recital. She's really doing great. Her teacher is so good with her too. To keep her really interested and engaged, each week he assigns a rock song in addition to her traditional "book" songs, so she's having a blast learning to rock. I was beaming a couple of months ago at one of her lessons when he told me that Afton had an incredible aptitude for music and that in all his years of teaching (which are many), that he's really only ever had maybe one other student who could just sight read music like she could and pick up the notes so quickly. So...with continued practicing and diligence, maybe someday soon she'll be full on jamming. Way to go, Afton! You rock!
