Surprising Challenges

Some of the activities we do in class seem like they should be easy, but then once I actually get up and try them they are way more challenging than I expected. For instance...the talking on beat exercise. When people were messing up I thought that it was humorous, but at the same time I was thinking to myself 'how hard can this activity really be'. I thought that once I got up there I would be able to do it with no problem. However, I was extremely wrong! I got up there and struggled along with almost everyone else in class. It was simliar to having to tap your head and rub your stomach at the same time. Talking and keeping a beat...once you get off beat, it screws up your talking and everything falls apart from there. ha. Even with supposively simple activities like these, a lot of practice must go into it before you can actually master it.
