Practice session timings: 8:45am - 9:45am
Total hours today: 1

Today was my first theory class. I learnt about how to read sheet music and it was actually pretty simple. It consisted of many things that would take too long to explain here, but this table summarizes mostly everything I learnt.

1/4 of a crotchet

I only learnt to read them, not play them.
At home I did not practice much today. I just practiced a few chords and and worked on my strumming a bit. I tried to sing while playing guitar but with little success (it's harder than you think). I gave up after a short period of time.
Total no. of hours put in: 30.5
