Happy Birthday! Not only did I just celebrate my birthday yesterday, but my website is 1 year old this week! I can't believe how far the site has come in this year, and I am also very grateful for all the support of my subscribers and readers. I am so glad that many of you have gotten a lot out of my site and the articles, and your comments and support have inspired me to continue on my journey to help musicians and students enjoy music for a lifetime.
Here's links to learn how to play Happy Birthday:
