      HOME-PRACTICE
​      SONG-MELODIES:

Select one of the following, preferably one you are quite familiar with and would most enjoy learning to play, to include as a second learning & practice number.  The aim for this section is more about "practice" and less about "mastery", although the former does, over time, lead to the latter.

v)    Down in the valley

vi)   My Bonnie lies over the ocean

vii)  I'se the b'y
​​
viii) Worried man blues

• If your available time, interest, strength and energy permit, repeat the process for one or more additional selections (from the list of eight above), preferably also very-familiar.
