I have a left arm!

Taiko night. Sean wasn't there, we had Shannon tonight. Sean's approach is to concentrate on the music. Shannon concentrated on form. We did the same drills we've been doing - and here we are on week four with me wishing, "Why didn't someone tell me this three weeks ago," because I was getting my arms up. I was getting good - well, improved - range of motion with my left arm for the first time since I started this.

And as usual, I'm much happier playing at speed than in baby step increments. I know baby step increments are necessary, but momentum REALLY helps.
