A budding musician




Fifth graders in our district get to start band if they want (no orchestra unfortunately), so Bailey was really excited to sign up. She has been going to band class for over a week and the other day the band teacher brought in some instruments so the kids could try them out and see what they wanted to play. Bailey had been thinking about the flute, clarinet, or trombone, but after playing around with them, she settled on the clarinet. She said it was the easiest for her to make noise out of. This last Thursday, we went down to the school when they had a music store reps there and rented the clarinet for her. So far, she's just happy to make a noise at all, so it's pretty cute. I'm thinking earplugs are going to be essential, though. And yesterday I was walking back to our house from the park and could hear her, so I'm not sure how much my neighbors are going to like us. :D With Jason and I both being talented musically, we're both just very excited to see one of our kids begin learning and hopefully start a lifelong love for music.
