Elizabeth ... it is a RARE person indeed who, self taught, will be as accomplished a musician as one who has had formal training ...

But we all set our own goals and levels at which we are happy with what we do ... I am not as accomplished as many here, but I play and sing and people tell me they enjoy it - and PAY me to do it - ... so I am happy ... but would I be happier having had more formal musical training, I think yes ...
