="John Ho Jun Lim "= Guitar 11 - Mrs. Heidi Upton

Hello my name is John~! I'm from Korea and I'm currently in grade 11 attending Gleneagle Secondary school in Coquitlam. I really enjoy listening to music, but mostly Korean songs..so you guys wouldn't know them even if I listed them. I'm taking this //Intro to Guitar 11// course to learn how to play guitar and most importantly to take a break from my intense hardcore korean-style studying..



I also like to play sports such as **table tennis, volleyball, soccer,** and **badminton.** And my favourite musicians right now are **Sung Ha Jung** and **Depapepe.** Take a look at their videos below :D

Looking back on Guitar 11... I would say my best performance was our last one, the music video, on "Snow Dance" by Depapepe. Brian and I spent a lot of time recording the audio and the video for the music video and I am proud to say that our music video rocks! \/ (^o^) \/ It was a fun experience making the music video. My worst performance was probably my solo performance of "River flows in You" because Mrs. Upton made me play randomly when everyone finished their performance. The guitar was out of tune and my fingers were stiff like pencils that day. It was really sad not to be able to show my best performance. Throughout the year, we learned many songs in class, many of which I didn't learn because I was "tuning" in the practice room. haha. Anyways my favourite song was Sweet Home Alabama because not only was it easy to play, but was a really good song as well. There are so many good memories from guitar 11, but one thing that I loved about this class was our teacher who is just the nicest teacher ever. She has always been encouraging and helpful to students who had difficulties learning the new instrument. Also, our class was very quiet, but very fun because of some funny guys like Jamil. It was all such cherishable memories and I hope to keep them forever and ever. Thank you for making guitar 11 such a fun experience for ALL of us!! Thank you =D Album Cover- Theme:The Fifth World
