Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Singing Lessons

Our little one wants to be an actor.  But an actor is more versatile if she can sing.  Thanks to the wonderful influence of her Grandma Linda, I am now taking her to voice lessons once a week.

There are usually 3 other girls with her.  They sing kids songs like "She'll be Coming Around the Mountain" and "Bingo", taking turns to solo the verses as well as together.


Sometimes they move while they sing.  I was a bit confused at first, but after several lessons, I'm actually noticing an improvement in how she hears each note, then adjusting to hit the right pitch.

During her one hour session each week, I am blessed with the sounds of a beginner trumpet trying to blow any sound possible out of the horn.  I am fortunate to hear a drum lesson down the hall.  And to top it off, there is a banjo student learning to play the 5-string.  Ahhh, sounds of joy (nor not).

Thanks, Grandma!
