Lesson #11

Quote of the Week:
"Your musical child is a bit like that solitary piece of charcoal. And the burning heap of coals is like the many musical friends your child can find in the various ensembles and schools in musical potential. By joining together with other musically interested children, he will be able to experience tremendous benefits that only a group setting can provide." p.129 of " Raising Muscical Kids" by Patrick Kavanaugh
