This will be my last post because this is the last week of my genius hour project. For my last lesson during my project my dad and I reviewed and fine tuned everything I have learned so far. Since it's the last week of my project, I have been thinking about my presentation a lot. I asked my dad if he would be interested in coming into class to play Dueling Banjos with me. He said he would think about it. I think I'll be able to convince him to come and play with me. After my dad and I reviewed, we started to figure out an easy ending to Dueling Banjos. After we play everything I have learned twice, my dad and I will start to play at the same time but different things. I will strum while he plays cords behind me. My part goes like this: strum a C cord for two four counts, strum a G for two four counts, strum a D for two four counts, strum a G for two four counts, do all of this four times, then strum a G for one four count, a D for one four count, and end with one open G. Over the next couple of weeks I will be practicing a lot in preparation for my performance in front of the class for my final presentation. Over the last twelve weeks I have learned a lot. I didn't know what all my dad would teach me when we started this process but I feel I have made a lot of progress. I definitely didn't think I would be playing Dueling Banjos by the end of the project and when my dad said we were going to start learning that song I thought he was crazy. My dad did a really good job teaching me and being patient with me while going through this project and teaching me how to play the banjo. I've really enjoyed learning how to play from my dad and learning to play the banjo is something that I would like to continue to do. I might not be able to do a lesson every week but I would enjoy having a lesson every now and then to continue learning how to play the banjo.
