He Loved It!

And the teacher was sort of blown away by his renditions of Eleanor Rigby and some Supertramp song that Scott taught him. He does have to start at square one, though -- learning to read music and such -- but she was very impressed, and skipped way ahead in the starter book she'd got for him.

Now he's slowly learning proper fingering, and the difference between a quarter note and a half note, and which keys to play with his left hand and which for his right hand. I'll keep you updated on his progress!

My Great-Aunt Idee was one of 11 children, all but one of whom were intensely musical. Uncle Ike (Isaac) was the exception...Kate had been ill after his birth and had to employ a wet nurse. The family attributed his lack of musical ability to that factor.

Glad to know there's someone in the wings who may someday enjoy the Real Nana's baby grand piano (a first anniversary gift from Sylvan)
