For a long time, Kendra would come home from Primary every Sunday and sit down at the piano and start playing whatever new song they were learning. It was just the melody, but she obviously has been blessed with some of her father's musical talent. We decided, however, that we did not want her father's talent to be all that she posessed, because the inability to read music well is such a HUGE frustration for him most of the time. So, after some searching, we found a piano teacher close who doesn't charge a fortune, and Kendra has now been taking piano lessons for awhile. Guess what? No surprise... she LOVES it!
She was unbelievably excited this Christmas when we were able to get her a keyboard to practice on. (Now she's just as cool as her Dad!!) Since then, her practice time has been nearly non-stop since she doesn't have to fight with her siblings for time on the piano vs time with the TV on!
Her latest "favorite" song is There's Nothing like a Circus. I am very pleased to say that she's reading music quite well now,.... but she also let's her other talent kick in quickly and has her songs learned/memorized in no time at all - leaving the music books to serve as props only.
So, enjoy this quick trip to the Circus... we've been enjoying it for awhile now!!
