Santa made our house even more musical than it already was, and we are so excited about it! The boys already had a trumpet and a trombone, and Patrick plays the French horn at school. Santa added to that collection, an electric guitar, a drum set, a karaoke machine, and a keyboard! It’s totally awesome! And then next year, Sammie will pick out her band instrument!

With all of this music in the house, Mark and I are feeling left out and would love to join in on the fun! He thinks it would be totally rad to be able to play the guitar and the keyboard, and he’d like to get back into playing the drums, too. I think it would be awesome to play the drums, and the keyboard, and to work on my singing!

I may have come across just the thing that Mark and I need, as far as the keyboard goes, that is. It is an email newsletter about Piano lessons & piano chords, through which the gentleman also sells full out DVD lessons for adults! That is so cool - that might just get Mark and I a spot in the family band!

The newsletter is free and comes out about every five days and there are 101 issues of it. The gentleman who publishes the newsletter and teaches the lessons, Duane Shinn, has been teaching music since 1965. Wow! That’s a lot of experience! I’m so glad to learn about his site - it’s just perfect timing for us!
