It’s Saturday, and time for Music in our Classroom. Charlie stated the other day he would like to learn to play the Drums just as I did when I was in Middle School. Although I want Charlie to play a instrument he enjoys and not something I played. So we are looking into all kinds of instruments and with Charlie having a Guitar we are starting with it and moving on from there. This morning I plan on showing him a website called Fiddlerman.com where he can learn to play the violin.
As I am online more and more preparing Charlies homeschooling lessons for school this morning I came across a free website where Charlie can learn to play the violin with lessons Fiddlerman.com provide. Both David and I love the sound of the Violin and I hope we can get Charlie to check out the website and at least give the Violin a try and if not then it just means it wasn’t Gods will and David or I could take lessons and our family can learn to play the Violin and start out own band.
