Hooked

I think Cherish is hooked. On what? Music. Isn't that great?! She loves being able to make music. She is entering her first Senior Band Year in school. This is her third year playing trumpet now and she still loves it. In Music class, which is a separate class than Band, she is learning guitar and is she ever excited about that but...the biggest and most exciting music news in her world is...bah bah ba...

...is that yesterday she started piano lessons. FINALLY!!! When I asked her how her first lesson went, she couldn't stop talking about it and was so happy. Cherish has wanted to take piano lessons for a very long time. She got a small keyboard and we bought her some music books and she has been teaching herself (helped by what she is learning in Band). The trouble with that though is she just didn't quite have enough time or motivation to sit down and learn and she would most often be bothered by her brother and sister.

Anyway, she is pumped to be learning piano and she loves her teacher (wink at you, Dix). She is hooked on music and I can think of so many reasons why I love that...

I'm so glad!!! She's going to be very easy to teach and she did really great yesterday -- almost the whole primary book in 30 minutes!! Just make sure she tells if she gets bored or wants to learn something other than I'm teaching.

I will make sure to tell her to tell you if she gets bored or what have you, Dixie. I still can't get over the fact that she did one book all ready and it is only her first class. She has a pretty good grasp of reading music then, from Band?
