“Introduce MUSIC to Young Children – – as soon as possible”

When you think back  – – and start to remember  – – when I was  “young”  I wanted to learn to play the PIANO – – or at least have been able to take some lessons – – when I was so young – – that to learn – – would have been so easy

but… in my case that  was not something that could have been done – – and I never  – ever forgot – – but – – when I had children – – immediately – – at  and as early as possible – – MUSIC…  was in the plan for my children to learn – –  and…  I took the time to sit and listen to their practicing – –  – I would hum along – – so that they knew that I was listening – – – and that they were not along – – whatever they were learning – – I was with them  – – all the way.

It was FUN – – to see  and hear  my sons, Lee and Al – – each doing what … was coming to them  in such an easy and fun way – – they were really enjoying each lesson – – and getting to be performers  – – to show everybody – – where they were headed  – – all that they could do – – and so  good and natural  – – for being so young.

Lee is sitting at the organ – – my idea to start on an organ – – so that the note that was just read and played – – would carry on – – long enough for them to read and find the next note. That way they could could hear the music – – and keep the sound of the song or piece – – in the brain – – till they would eventually get – – the reading and playing – – more in line of the tempo of the song.Worked out very well – – they were learning to read and play music so  – we upgraded.

When it came our making a home move – – my first arrangements  – – were made at the  “MUSIC STORE”  had to check out the  next better  instrument – – want more in the line of foot pedals and  a complete sound  that would be so much   better and longer lasting – – they would pick up the instrument at the old location – – and when we were in the new home and ready – – the new instruments were delivered.

Best way to have the  “MUSIC”  Instruments – – that work to the MAX – – and everyone is HAPPY!
