Ella Barrie and the process of how to play the guitar. First, I just would like to “point out what a great gift” and my aspiration to learn. Learning how to play an instrument is not easy. Kids/adults would rather choose not to learn because of how much they know they will struggle. But some people who like to face that kind of challenge take that first step of getting into it. 

“ My joy for playing the guitar first started when I watched a worship band perform at 9 years old and was inspired by the guitarist. I thought that this “band” of young teenagers at the time was really cool and wanted to be able to play like them at their age.” Ever since then, Barrie has been doing this since 8th grade. And she is consistent when she has the free time for now which would be the weekends. 

Now being a senior in high school, there is a lot more added on to one's schedule, which means that maybe you don't do as much of something you used to do all the time or you are too busy with important things and then later go doing other stuff that you feel relaxed with. For Barrie, when she isn't playing guitar, she likes to be with friends and family.

I would say that this is a good balance of things for a person. Because while playing guitar for example is really interesting, it is also a hobby and not something required out of you. When you're doing whatever you've been doing, a lot of people like to take a break and just relax. And it could look like anything 

Some other way someone could learn how to play guitar or any instrument is by video, step by step articles on line. Lessons are another great way to learn! Having an experienced adult show you how they learned.  

Working with others can be a good interactive way to communicate skills and learn, but also others prefer to learn on their own, which is just as awesome.
