Flute

Cooper has been asking for 2 years to learn to play the flute, so one day Chad saw an ad in the newspaper for flute lessons and we decided to call and inquire. Ms. Susan is the instructors name and she is a very good flutist. She said as long as Cooper was willing to practice, take good care of her instrument, and work on building her hand & finger muscles-lessons were a go! So we went and rented a flute for Cooper. (Little did we know that we knew so many people that played the flute and would have had one for us to use.)

Her lessons are once a week for 30 minutes. I must say she is doing very well. She instantly picked up how to hold the flute and she learned 3 notes in the first couple lessons. She has a music book and with the little music knowledge I have (I played the drums in band from 6th grade - 9th grade) I began teaching her how to read the notes (lines & spaces.) She is continuing to work hard and learn more at each lesson. She loves playing and practices all the time. I'm excited for her future in music.
