Sam has always taken interest in music, since I can remember. When we moved to Vancouver 3.5 yrs ago, we bought a piano off our neighbor hoping to put Sam into lessons eventually. I remember her being so excited when that piano was hauled up that huge flight of front stairs and into the living room. She's been plunking on the keys ever since and even sounded out a couple of little songs like Twinkle Twinkle.
A little over a year ago I saw a sign down the street in someone's front yard advertising Piano Lessons. I thought how convenient it was to be so close to home. It only took me a year to inquire but we thought Sam would be in dance or some kind of martial arts. She'll always be in swim lessons so we asked her what else she'd like to take and she yelled 'PIANO!' So I picked up the phone and arranged for her first lesson today. I was afraid she wouldn't be focused for 30 min. straight, but that's all that mattered to her when we got there. The teacher was quite impressed and I'm excited she's so eager!
