Music Class

Jonathan, Luke, Mr. Wil & Evan

For the past year, Evan and I have been taking music classes together at a Presbyterian Church in downtown Orlando. It such a great program and has really taught him a good deal about music. Being the offspring of Joe and I, he can use all the help he can get!! He especially loved his teachers last semester, Ms. Dottie and this semester Mr. Wil. Mr. Wil plays a guitar during class and all the boys seem to love him. What a great role model to have at that church, a 24 year old man who leads the contemporary worship and teaches little kids music. The class teaches them rhythm, tone, beat and words (I really just made all that up b/c I know NOTHING about music). At the beginning of the semester, Evan wouldn't clap along to the beat or sing along to the songs. Now, he's great at keeping with the beat and sings every last word to the songs. He loves them, especially Looby Lu and Hands a Washing. Classes are over for the semester and I think we'll take a break until the fall. Hopefully Mr. Wil will be our teacher again!
