The Sound of Music






All the kids do music. Judah (2nd from left in sax row) plays alto and tenor saxophone, as well as piano. He plays in a 280-member marching band, and in a symphonic winds group. Micah plays the piano and drums and percussion. He and a few friends are starting a band that will play 80s music. Get that - none of them were even born until 1995 ... Isaiah plays the piano and clarinet. Elijah plays the piano, and has another year-and-a-half to decide what band instrument to play. He's not sure yet. (He also takes several dance classes). Canah just started piano, which is very interesting to say the least. 
The other day at his second lesson, after about twenty minutes of lesson, his teacher and I were doing our best to keep him on the piano bench by pointing at things in the book and on the piano, while the pitch of our voices kept getting higher and higher. All of a sudden, he held up his wrist, looked at it and said as plain as day, "Oh, look at the time ..."
