We got a piano!!!

If you've read my blog for very long...you know that one of the things I love MOST is when the King sits down at the piano to play..anything. We didn't have a super nice one in the states...but we had one. The Prince has had some lessons and we wanted to get the kids going again. However, we're strangers in this land and were unsure if it was a wise investment. The King plays on the one belonging to some relatively close neighbors, but...it's not the same as having his own. Anyway...I've been pleading my case for a couple of months...the kids could take lessons...I could practice, too...it'd be good for my arthritis...it's good for my mental health to hear you play...you could keep writing songs...it'll add to our family worship time...yada yada yada. You get the point. Apparently he did, too.

This one is German and has a great sound...or it could just be that I've been deprived and ANYthing sounds good...not.

It came with this purple cover...there is so much dust that settles every day. It'll help to care for it.

I haven't been able to keep the kids OFF of it. They REALLY want to learn. I don't have books to teach them...so we've been surfing the net...looking for stuff.

Apparently, the Princess loves to hear him play, too...

1) That last picture of the Princess needs to go in a frame!!!

2) SO excited that you got a piano. Do you want the name of the piano books my mom had me get started on? They were great, and I've seen other students use them, too. I think they would be really good books, particularly for the Princess still being young~

What type of music books are you looking for? what levels?

Maybe I can search through some things and find some of the King's and Lil Sis's piano books. Regi did you save any of the Prince and Princess' books? If so, are they in the shop? It warms my heart to see all of you around the piano. Wish I could hear you sing. GMudda

Faber & Faber. That's my professional opinion. ;-)

Apparently my comment didn't go through yesterday. I have some piano books from when I & my siblings took piano ages ago. I have pulled them out and will send them with MH if you want them.
