Music Training 101

First, (if you're a boy) you need to figure out how to work the locks on the guitar case...very important.


Second, (if you're a girl) you will daintily hold the pick while softly strumming and sweetly singing a song about loving one another. She will then abruptly stop in the middle of the song to inform all who are listening that she is singing a "New One" - which means she is making it up all by herself. Makes me smile.


Third, (if you're a mom) you'll say "Be careful with it; no-no, please be gentle; oh, that's pretty!" several times while wondering at what age children begin to sing on tune...


Then there's the trill of dropping the pick down the sound hole...

Oh Mindy! I love this! I laughed out loud reading it. Elianna's song sounds so precious. We should record some of those "new ones" for future days like we used to do when we were little! You are such a great mom! I love the way you raise those kiddos! They are so SO blessed!!

Oh, so sweet! These days happen at our house quite frequently now too! Philip now requests "piano lesson" several times a day, so we've begun informal piano lessons at the age of 22 months!
Since your children are older than mine, I would LOVE to know when they start singing in tune! :)
Thanks for your sweet posting on PLAY. So many times it is easy to forget...:)
