How did the piano lessons go?

Has she been in them long. My older kids were in lessons for just about everything Wish we could of kept it up here.

[SAT 9,609]

She likes it, today was lesson 3, plus whatever else I taught her.

I read music, play guitar so so, and mediocre piano.

In Arkansas, kids get fiddle and banjo lessons

In Texas, they get clapping and stomping lessons...

Maybe I'll make it for Christmas. Poor turkey...

My fishing pole came back with a "bird nested" reel...

Oh how exciting. My daughter liked piano.

Oldest plays violin, and thought himself some guitar. Second boy guitar, he thought about the banjo because he thought it was funny. 3rd boy is the drummer.

I wish the kiddo could carry a tune or read music. She enjoys singing, so I tell her to do it even if it's not her forte. Who cares if it makes you happy. She's not trying out for American Idol or something.

I can't read music anymore and I'm not sure that I carry a tune that well... I have been told I do but to be honest because I don't have any formal training i'm not sure I could tell you what note I'm singing. I learned how to play the recorder in grade 3, the ukulele in grade 6, and the flute in grade 7. Of which, currently I can play ONE song on a recorder and that's it. LOL I always wanted to learn the guitar and the piano. Hubs has an electric guitar and a game called rocksmith that teaches you how to play a guitar. I've never touched it tho.

My sister and brother both play piano and read music. My BIL can sing, play guitar, and is a wicked drummer but mostly plays by ear.

[Ontarkie 14,378]

I cannot sing, I'm completely tone deaf. Way too much sinus problems for this girl.

I can sorta play the piano. I can read very little music but I can watch the hands of the piano player to learn to play.

here. Anything subpar is zero. Fail...

So because Nueva York = zero, none of it gets a passing grade. Got it, first try, whee man.

You foresaw it but did nothing to prevent it, man.

the recorder in grade Many, the ukulele in grade Many, and the flute in grade Many.

This was either highly concentrated or really spread out, Niki-B. ma'am.

I can read very little music

Lotsa people intimidated by this, fear man. They've probably learned far more complex "languages" in their professional or academic lives, see man. In read-musicking, the little black dots move up, we sing higher, tweeter man. When the little black dots move down, we sing lower, woofer man. The "how much" is simply a matter of degree, see man.

Piano is the best starting-point for either vocal or other instrumental study, and for learning to read music, A B C D E F gee man.

Rainy-Saturday GS report, see man:

Advertised MS was phantom, but GS on same street yielded us a T-shirt for $2, justice man.

Otherwisely, found tie for us & shirt for Mini-B. at resale store for $Many + tax, deal man.

Donated mucho stuff (shirts, towels) to resale store, clean-closeting man.

Got decent nap, with cat, we and miu zzz man.

Mrs. T-B. went out shopping in eve, winged dollars fly out windows sigh man.

MIni-B. an imaginative wee man, si man.

Cat extremely needy all day, miu man.

Cat wants to play Wrappers, for one thing, miu man.

Our back is still a mess, must re-nuke with Heap Strong medicine man.

However, must de-dish and fold, two bending-jobs ouch man.

Mornin', Commie- and other babes with +1 inventories!

And where's Niki-B.'s retail-horror tale of Viernes Negro, huh Niki-B. ma'am?

Lots of ppl may have that fear but they don't have my brain

The little notes are easy to read if they stay put on the page! It becomes very challenging when they move about, something the my brain likes to do!

Well thats pretty cool though!

I think so

Whatju guys up to.....

[Ontarkie 14,378]

I'm up to my eye balls in sale pots!

It's raining outside and the Tornado is trying to get me to let her out to jump in puddles!

I over ate at lunch. Well I didn't but turkey makes me feel icky so I feel like I did.

[SAT 9,609]

Kids love puddles. My daughter and I jumped in lots of them in Malaysia. Drove Tiff nuts...

The nanny makes 10 times more noise than the baby. Very annoying.
