A one-man band

One of the many things that we love about Liam's school is their focus on music. The music teacher Maggie is AMAZING! She nurtures a love for music in all the kids and finds ways to get them involved and interested. This year alone Liam has come home with at least 5 musical instruments that they have studied, made and learned songs to play them to.

A maraca, guitar, harp, rain stick and a 'can guitar'

Next year he will join the band, starting with a recorder and will have the opportunity to try out a variety of instruments. Liam is torn between guitar, full size concert harp and bag pipes (we live in the Maritimes, they are hard to avoid!) It will be interesting to see where his interests take him!

How cool! I can't wait to see what he picks, too! It's so fun to watch them grow into something they love so much.

Awesome, Tita has been campaigning for guitar lessons since last year. We told her that she could start when she was 8. So, another year to go. In the meantime, I know she has been doing some stuff at school but hasn't brought anything home with her as cool as those instruments.
