Little Bear's first Piano Lesson

Little bear had his first piano lesson - and he loved it! He sang songs and did actions and there was a bit of drawing and then he got to press some notes on the piano.

The lady - who is absolutely brilliant - is taking her time, making sure that he understands stuff and encouraging him. He is being taught properly. The action songs were about getting the hands right to play. She is so patient with him. He is enchanted with the whole thing.

It took us an hour to get there and about 45 minutes to get back. It was a lot about the time of day, it should take half an hour on two buses. This is a long time. However, I actually think it is a plus. Little bear, so far, has never had to travel. At the moment, if I stand on our front step I can see the door to his classroom and have a fair idea if he is near the window. We have a doctors within yards, chemists, shops that sell food, the nursery was yards not miles. Even the place he has his hair cut is less than a hundred yards away. I think it is a good idea for him to get the idea that sometimes you need to travel.

Also, I get to chat with him.
