A little piece of summer sun right here that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Learn the hand pattern ensuring that you use the correct hand at the correct time.

Hope you are well. Keep safe, keep smiling and see you soon!

A top ten list of classical pieces, some of which I have mentioned in previous posts but neatly packaged here with a pretty bow on the top.
