About this Quote

In this quote, Lara St. John reflects on her early years as a musician.

She never ever had to purposely find out how to play, as she was able to pick up tunes and melodies by ear.

This may have been frustrating for her, as she just wanted to continue playing and enjoying music in her own natural way.
