Piano Lessons

Madison is one of those kids who can hear a song once and sing it back to you. It happened to use again last night. We were at Michael's and she heard a Christmas song that I'm pretty sure she's not heard before. The rest of our shopping trip, she continued to sing the song and the correct words to the song. She may never be the best forensic accountant, but she sure can remember music.

That being said, Madison has been dying to learn how to play piano. To be honest, I'm not sure why. She had been asking for months, but we recently decided to sign her up. We can't afford a piano right now (even the best forensic accounting services isn't going to find money for that in our budget), so I picked her up a really nice keyboard. She's already had 2 lessons, and this week she is suppose to learn Mary Had a Little Lamb. She's super excited. 🙂 Its a tad painful for me to watch her lessons and her struggle, but it is pretty amazing to see her “get” it. What she struggled with last Wednesday, she is playing perfectly today. Ahhh, to be young again.

I'm hoping this is something she will continue with. I think she's got a “sixth” sense with music, and I hope she will love to play.

    Sounds like she could really go somewhere with those lessons. Make sure you keep us updated! Most younger children aren't able to sing a tune back like Madison can. I would think that she would progress really quickly with piano lessons. Make sure her teacher notices that she has a great ear for music. Sometimes piano teachers get stuck in just teaching how to read music and forget that music is a hearing art more than a visual one.
