Lord Mayor Stephen Yarwood presenting the Certificate of Achievement
Time flies when you are having fun!
Yes it’s been a long time teaching adult students at WEA courses in Adelaide, only I didn’t realise it was actually 10 years since I taught my first “Guitar for Beginners” course there. I haven’t sat down and worked out exactly how many people have attended those classes over the years, but it’s certainly many hundreds.
I keep bumping into people who started learning guitar at the WEA course. Many moved on to being students at Glenelg Guitar Studio and continued their study in the guitar becoming accomplished players , both in modern and classical forms, and many more simply gained an appreciation of the instrument and of course had some fun.
Anyway, recently I attended a civic reception at the Adelaide Town Hall and was presented with a WEA Certificate of Achievement for 10 years service to the community, by the Lord Mayor of Adelaide, Stephen Yarwood.
“The award aims to acknowledge the excellent service of our long term tutors who have shown exceptional dedication to adult community education”.

CONGRATULATIONS Leigh, MAESTRO-of-the-GUITAR!!!
As the axiom states: “All good things come to those who wait!”
Most appropriate! Well earned! In which all we guitarists (& would-be GUITARISTS,) share!
As Will Shakespeare wrote over 400 years ago in the Opening Lines of the Fun Christmas-Season PLAY:
“If MUSIC be the food of LOVE, PLAY ON; Give me EXCESS of IT!………….” “Duke Orsino’s opening words of “in Act I, sc.i, lines 1 to 1.5
of “Twelfth Night,” literally, after Christmas Day.
and MUSIC can also sooth the ‘savage’ beast in some of us!’…..hahahahaha….
CONGRATULATIONS again, MAESTRO! You’ve earned it! 10 years of TUTORIAL LOVE + HANDED-down EXPERTISE!
What more can one say than be repetitive!
CONGRATULATIONS, LEIGH FOPP! CONGRATULATIONS! from the bottom of all our GUITAR-LOVING HEARTS + FINGERS!
Musically, Hugh (83, if the Numero-Uno-Guitarist in the Sky lets me be, in a few days.)
