Bells are Ringing

This school year, Hannah, Josiah and I joined a bell choir. We've been practicing since September. On December 11th, we were part of Carol with the Bells at First Baptist Church in Lilburn. There were several different groups playing. Ours is called the Joyous Ringers and we rang Oh Come all Ye Faithful and Joy to the World.

 

 

The choir is directed by Phil Meyers.

 

 

 

Hannah and Josiah did very well and we enjoyed listening to the other choirs that performed, also.

 

 

 

A Song For Saturday

I know this family through our homeschool group. Amazing talent!
It may be too late to vote for him. I just found out about it, myself. Hope he does well.

Summer Lessons - Monday

This summer we've been focusing on one subject a day, to allow time for freedom and creativity. Monday is music day. Hannah and Josiah are in the second semester of Kinderbach.

We've been doing this program for a couple of years. Maybe we'll finish this year. Recently, the kids did an activity where they put together their own little song, then played it on the keyboard.

The children are guided through the lessons on a DVD. I've learned a few things myself. I never took piano lessons as a child. When this is over, I might actually be able to play a little, too.

Thanks to "Uncle" Eddie, who left us his keyboard. It has really come in handy.
