@qualitygal wrote:@ Montana Amazon. It's called "Signing Time". It's super. Get one, to try it and see it, she's good, she sings, both daughters are in it, (one is handicapped), the other daughter is in it with her little boy cousin. It was a great teacher/teaching and learning show. I'm sorry it's not still on. You have to get it and see. I'd recommend it.
Thanks so much for the information. I’ll check it out.

Take oil painting and water color painting lessons!
Also, I have always wanted to ride a dirt bike slowly on a winding trail through the woods on a fall cool crisp day! Notice that I said slowly!!![]()

You are telling yourself a LIE. Some SHAMEFUL PERSON told you something that is not true. In MANY YEARS of working as a music teacher, and having taught hundreds of kids music, I encountered a total of FOUR who were unable to match pitch, and they happened to be wonderful kids with SEVERE learning disabilities, so we taught them to be percussionists.
FIND YOURSELF someone who works with adults, and if they say you can’t be taught, inform them that they are full of lunch meat and contact someone else. Ask a potential teacher if they are familiar with Kodaly (pronounced kō-dī) pitch matching techniques, OR some other pitch matching technique, and if they tell you they are, commit yourself to doing EXACTLY what they tell you and give it a try. Some of the things a TRAINED teacher tells you to do may feel silly but they will help you connect with your REAL voice.
Just as an example, most people don’t easily Identify their own ability to change from low to high pitch, but if you pretend your hand is an airplane and as you move it upward, make your voice go up with the airplane, you’ll be surprised how easily your voice can soar.
DO IT!!!

One YouTube family has taught their infant a few signs: more; hungry, and all finished. I’m impressed because he is only a year old.
I figure if a a baby can learn, I should be able to. I dunno.
Me too! I was just practicing signs this morning!🙂

I would like to enlarge my property; buy an acre behind my house, and buy the lot the trashy trailer neighbors live on.

The only thing I can think of ... spend some time living in a cloistered religious order.
