Our Budding Pianist...

Sam "plays" with the piano. I don't give him instructions at his age unless he asks (except, of course, the "no banging" rule). Still he has managed to learn to play one finger simple scales. He often sings as he plays and makes up lyrics and melodies. And now he's beginning to notice that I play differently than he does. He's starting to ask questions about how.

This video shows how he experiments with playing and his question about how to play like mom. I abruptly stop the camera because it's time to demonstrate for him. Funny, but the picture is a lot clearer on my little digital camera! It seems the video and the sound are off a bit. (This was my first time using YouTube!)
