I remember the words of a dear friend after she and I gave our very first guitar program.
After the program was over she said, "Well, Susan, we can only get better."
I was surprised because I thought we had done really well and that it couldn't get much better.
She moved away shortly after that but I have since come to understand more about giving a first
performance and getting better. It is a process that involves more than just the music.
I think that "getting better" can mean being less nervous, being more confident and more relaxed.
We both had butterflies in our stomachs and maybe a little trembling to remember everything in order and to try to do it right.
Once we know we could do it and do it well, it does get better.
