David’s been learning to play the acoustic guitar for about two years now. We have a teacher who comes over once a week for thirty minutes. I’d say he practices a lot, but he doesn’t. Though he’s really good for a kid who practices pretty little. And as someone who has absolutely no musical talent, it blows my mind every single time he plays.
When he and his friends were choosing their talent show song this year, they decided that David had to play the electric guitar to do justice to the song. Thanks to the generosity of the school teacher and a parent, we procured a guitar for a few weeks and he practiced a bunch of hours to get it all down.
If hearing him play the acoustic gave me joy, the electric pretty much made me ecstatic. I just couldn’t stop grinning the whole time he practiced.
I hope that he continues to play for the next few years until he gets really good and decides if he wants to continue or not. I am so grateful that my kids are more musical than I ever was!
