Ian's First Music Class


Today was a momentous occasion for Ian, but probably more significantly, for me. Ian’s first class at Yamaha Music School (coincidentally, my place of employment...) was an adventure! He is not quite accustomed to a group learning environment, but he and the other 4- and 5-year-olds will grow more comfortable with that. All the kids had a palpable enthusiasm as they were introduced to their very first session of piano instruction. I could tout the Yamaha horn until I’m blue in the face, but what I love most is that the method is adapted to interest a younger age group, and I think it is sheer genius!


So of course I couldn’t resist a photo opt on our way out. Ian is most likely uncertain what journey he is embarking on, but we know he enjoyed himself in class! And thanks to Tom and Nina, for trekking to Edina with us on our adventure!
