My friend Kelly posted this on her blog and we listened to it. Instant love. Jack and Addy LOVE to listen to this and really get into it. Jack loves to really start dancing with the key change. He loves this arrangement so much that when we heard Taylor Swift singing Love Story while driving in the car Jack, disappointed, asked, "Where's the cello?" And really, couldn't we all use a little more cello in our lives?
These young men were playing their guitar and harmonica before the Hill Cumorah Pagaent. Jack was in love. He sat right down next to them and at one point even tried to climb in their lap. When I asked him if he was using his soccer ball as a drum he said, "No, I am playing the cello." Jack I will grant your wish to play the cello I promise.
This is Jack playing his "pinano" while watching Jon Schmidt on Youtube. He sings the baseline and other parts as he plays.
Here is a better picture of his "pinano" aka little piece of plastic that he found that sort of looks like piano keys. So I guess we'll sign him up for piano as well as cello. My heart is again leaping with joy. Music makes Jack so happy and I love to hear him sing and make music.So until we are ready for formal music lessons, we will continue to listen to Jon Schmidt on repeat, "the instruments" (as Jack calls them) on the classical radio station, and we'll check Peter and the Wolf out from the library again but most all we will dance and fill our souls with happy music.
