Alli and Ruby are in a kids' music class taught by Mr. Singer. They LOVE the class. It is the highlight of the week for them. Mr. Singer sings a bunch of folk and kid songs with the class, they have a jam session with his collection of instruments, they dance and pop bubbles.
Mr. Singer has a blog, and he posts kid songs on it every week. Alli and Ruby love this. When I get on the computer, Ruby climbs on my lap and repeats "Singer! Singer!" until we go to his blog and watch a video.
Last week, Mr. Singer posted a guitar lesson on his blog. Alli could not have been more excited. She has been begging me to get her into lessons ever since she got her guitar for Christmas. She watched the lesson over and over again. Ruby was right by her side, repeating everything Alli said. It went something like this:
Mr. Singer: I will show you the parts of the guitar.
Alli: Guitar!
Ruby: 'tar.
Mr. Singer: This is the bridge of the guitar. Can you say bridge?
Alli: Bridge!
Ruby: Bridge.
Mr. Singer: This is the tuning peg.
Alli: Tuning peg.
Ruby: Pig.
Alli memorized every part on her guitar, even the obscure tiny parts. Do YOU know where the saddle is on your guitar?
She mastered lesson one, and danced around singing with her guitar. She can't wait for lesson two.
