My son took up drums around 13 years old, took a few lessons but decided he was going to be the next Buddy Rich so stopped (taking lessons). We were good (and almost deaf) parents so every night we went for a walk and told him THAT IS your time to practice. Well, he played through high school, started a band in college and today at 50 years old he's teaching his son who is 13...the circle continues.
When you ever posted your first response to the recorder coming home. I thought that post was hilarious. Will admit though. We were lucky. Our kids music instructor lived across the street from us. So over the years easy to have lessons in other instruments.
Never liked the theory do first and then learn. (Maybe ok for some things.) Many time the incorrect way stays with you. Anyway - love they put on a show and for their stuffed animals. Hopefully all the animals made it to the show, as you cannot ever leave one out as it would be sad. I know this from experience. Even now, if I had stuffed animals, I would never leave one out. I do have a stuffed Lily though.

That's great!

We'll have a big essay on it all next week!
Luke played his recorder so much that it actually started to sound pretty melodic. But his sister ended up hiding it and “forgetting “ where it was🤣
Haha! I've seen videos of professionals playing it and it sounds really great!

I think their stuffed audience liked it very much!
