Musical Progress

We are getting back into our music lessons after a bit of chaos during the Summer, and it’s been good to have some regularity. It’s one of those funny things that the kids resist and don’t want to do, so I have to force the issue, and then they enjoy it. Besides, it’s just a cool thing to be somewhat, even marginally, musical. The kids are too young to realize this, though A does love to perform.

On this note, their teacher, JB, said they are making good progress, but was particularly happy with N’s skills and abilities. She said he’s really coming along as a drummer and she can see that he’s playing by feel rather than mechanically. How cool is that?

For A, her guitar teacher, EE, constantly comments on her guitar playing, he’s very kind and supportive. Talking to A, you can see that not only is she interested, but she speaks the language of music. When she listens, she’s always talking about music and displays a genuine understanding of music. It’s really cool to see.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Robert Proksa for the pic.
