Lesson #2

Well, today was Robyn’s 2nd piano lesson. She is taking lessons at a studio about 3/4 mile from our house, once a week, for an hour. She came home still very excited about what she had learned and ready to practice, practice, practice right away. I had to tell her to go out and jump for a few minutes so that she could get out some energy! I’m very excited for her. Her teacher, David, seems to be able to keep the lessons fun and not just scales or drills (somewhat boring stuff). He still does some of that stuff but will write a composition for her if she has a song that she wants to learn how to play so that it is at her level of playing at that time. I’m amazed at how well she can read sheet music in just two lessons. I don’t even know what the notes are on the paper but she does. It is very cool to watch her excel at something - God definately gave her the love of music as she is always dancing and singing around the house. She’s already talking about how she has to write Uncle Kevin a song.

Soon we’ll have the ability to either upload her playing or we’ll have access to the studio website so that those of you interested in hearing how she progresses can follow along.

And it’s all because of a lil’ song called “the Bear Neccessities” that Grandma K taught her when we were home in June- who knew - she is still playing that one too!
