We started M on piano lessons. She had been fooling around with ours for months, first because she was imitating a Blues Clues episode, then because Mom had shown her a few things. But she didn’t actually play tunes.
At her first piano lesson, after a little bit of discomfort with a new place and a new person, she played Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star all the way through. Now she’s admitted she can do it, she plays it at home, too, experimenting with different octaves and really figuring out how she can make music. It’s pretty neat.
