I'm not starting my kids on formal music lessons for a while, but if they had the kind of natural ability that Caleb has then I definitely would.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786690299330330126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986054.post-61017238951508786752007-02-20T21:39:00.000-06:002007-02-20T21:39:00.000-06:00Jane-thanks for leaving a comment!

I continue to read as I love how you have an entry each day, how you are so honest with your feelings and how you empower everyone to be better moms as you do it so well.<BR/>That being said, are you related to this Gayla-person?

I'd just had never heard of that before.

Caleb certainly has a musical gift and we would have started him earlier but we were worried about some of his behavioral issues. Now that he has been handling preschool like a champ, we are ready to move on with lessons. When I was teaching piano, I would not take kids unless Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327187018339417265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986054.post-60524901649733061832007-02-20T10:43:00.000-06:002007-02-20T10:43:00.000-06:00Heather, that's a pretty ignorant thing to say.

That relies on playing by ear a lot--at least at first. I used to teach Suzuki piano but that was decades ago, so it may be out of favor by now!<BR/>JoanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
