Sounds neat! I would love to be part of your Beta testing!
I started learning classical piano when I was 6. I took lessons for 6 years and stopped when my piano teacher hit my hand and said that I could never be a piano player because I had no talent. I self taught myself since then and continued to play the piano because I love it. When I moved out of the country at the age of 15, I considered taking lessons again. My teacher asked me to take the Trinity College London music exams just to see where I was at and I passed Grade 5. I continued taking lessons until I finished High School. I sang in the School Choir, Chamber Choir, and Church Choir for 14 years.
I can read notes and sight read for both singing and playing the piano. My husband is a guitarist. He started with formal lessons when he was young for several years and self taught himself for 10 years before taking lessons again in order to play jazz guitar. Our 18-month old seems to have musical "bones" as he just could not help himself from dancing whenever he hears the music playing. He started singing the theme song for "Between the Lions" in key last week. We are looking for a non-classical music program for him to nurture his love for music. I can relate with KL's experience with not being able to play my piano unless I have memorized the pieces. What a gift Little Musician can be for our son if he can rely on his own voice, gain his own self confidence and use both of these as references when playing any music instrument.
We have both LR and LM for our son and he loves them both.
Thank you for considering,
Shirley
