I even tried to learn a song, which is much more difficult than it looks. Below is a part of 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' from The Little Mermaid it was a rough go, but I think that with more practice, it could be improved.
The journey that I have been on this semester going through this learning project was a rough one, however I came to learn a lot about myself. One thing that I learned was that I have poor time management skills. Setting aside a time once a week to work on this project would have been a great idea...there is a reason why they say that hindsight is 20/20.
