This is my sweet, enthusiastic, rarely-focused six year old Gabriel. We enrolled him in the elementary choir this past semester hoping to develop his non-existent ear just a little bit. I'm not sure that it worked all that well. From what I could tell Gabe was mostly just mumbling along with the songs and not really 'singing'. Poor child. He does actually like music but is at the stage where shouting out a song is more fun than singing it. I think that my favorite part was actually listening to the pre-performance show. An adult group that just happened to have Alex McLean in it, Zach's friend from back home. The little kidos danced around in the back while we listened to them preform.
We are planning on trying the violin next. He will start after the new year. No quitting this one after four months though. Mom and dad are serious about these music lessons. He's in it for the next 10 years or until the doctor has to straighten his neck because it is so crooked from practicing.
Wow, that seems a little young! Does he want to do this?
