That Is One Way To Play

Adam is taking piano. I have been very pleased to see how his songs have progressed over this past year.

This week he is learning about rests.

The first time he was playing the song that required him to "rest" he looked at his book and said, "I need a shoe!" I could not figure out why on earth he would need a shoe. He got one (note, 1 and only 1 shoe). He put it on his right foot (always his right foot). He played his song. Soon I figured out that his piano teacher taught him a rest was about as long as it takes to stomp your foot.

I guess he needs to stomp with shoes on! It's okay with me, if it helps him to learn his music! I'll just be sure to keep a shoe near the piano.
