PiAnO

Ethan has been taking piano lessons for about a year now. He started in the fall of 2009 and struggled. I think part of it was his age and the other part was his lack of reading skills. So Last January he quit and we decided he would pick it back up in the fall of 2010.
What a HUGE difference a year has made. His reading skills and LOVE for reading have made all the difference in his piano playing ability. He LOVES the piano and loves it when I sing for him while he plays.
Ethan was blessed with the opportunity to play some prelude music for his school Christmas program. This was his first time playing for anyone other than his teacher or family and he was really, really nervous. He chose "Away in a Manager" and "Jingle Bells" and did an AMAZING job! He made us proud and thankful that our piano lesson payments are paying off.
Keep it up Ethan!
