Heh, well, I'm sure that's the objective. You may have noticed, I'm not 
a very confident person...

It went well, I thought. As you can imagine, the FIRST lesson is mostly 
her trying to figure out where I'm at right now, rather than me actually 
learning a whole heap of stuff. And besides, nobody seriously expects to 
go from zero to awesome in just one lesson.

I played her that recording. (You know, the one I posted here a while 
ago and nobody paid any attention to.) She seemed fairly impressed. 
Which is nice. Obviously there's a whole boatload of stuff that needs 
fixing, but it's a start.

Most of the actual lesson part consisted of breathing and posture 
exercises. Man, I felt a total wally doing that! I'm sure she knows what 
she's talking about though... I'm probably deluding myself, but I think 
I'm already made some small improvement as a result.

PS. Mini-CDs do not work in slot-load devices. In the end, the only way 
I could figure out to play the song was to log into the admin page of my 
website to look up the download URL for the song... (To be fair, I had 
it nearly right from memory. There was just 4 characters missing.)
