Recorder Player

Annah has been excited all school year about learning to play the recorder in 4th grade.  She was thrilled a couple months ago when they finally got to start.  And, tonight her whole class played several songs on their recorders together in the Spring 4th-8th grade Concert.  She loved it.  In fact, this morning she asked me if it was bad that she was more excited about the concert than the field trip to visit Illinois Wesleyan University today.  (She did enjoy the field trip, and came home saying she wants to go to college there.)

If you know her well, you can tell she is holding back a grin 
while playing and watching Mr. H. conduct.  

She is definitely my kid; she loves anything to do with music.  I was very glad and grateful to have her help turning pages tonight as I played for the junior high choirs during the concert.  I know she would have rather sat in the audience and enjoyed the performance, but she concentrated very hard and was a huge help to me.


"Your hearts will burst with song, make music like the sound of flutes on parade..."
-Isaiah 30:29

No doubt you were treated to a rendition of "Peace Must Be Our Goal" -- a recorder classic.
