Last fall, Ali asked if I could teach her and her two friends together as a group. I thought it was a great idea. I decided to write some musical exercises to help them learn. Each song has three parts: a bass part, a rhythm part and a lead part. I wasn't sure how the girls would do with the exercises or if they would even like the music. I wrote four songs and the girls mastered three of them. In the spring, I suggested that we record the songs as a band. Today, we actually did it. For Song 1, Vanessa and Ali shared the lead and rhythm parts and Margaux played bass. I filled in on drums. It was their first time playing electric guitars and basses. They did an awesome job!
