Alisa came over the other day (actually it was her and her Mom, Kumi, and Hunter) for supper. Tim made his “famous” boneless wings and they brought a Birthday present for Maddie to open. After eating Tim showed them the new patio he had built and then Josiah wanted to play some Mario Kart with Hunter and I enjoyed talking with Kumi. I lost track of the girls for a little bit so I went looking for them and found Alisa and Chloe playing piano together in the studio.
It made me smile.
They took turns playing songs for each other and then they spent quite a bit of time playing duets together. I wouldn’t be surprised if they played for at least 45 minutes together. It was just so wonderful. Chloe had such a good time laughing and playing; and Alisa seemed to genuinely enjoy being able to sit down and play again. They dug out new books in the studio and Alisa played Chloe’s project song* for her and Chloe just soaked it up. It also inspired Chloe the next day that she went to practice her piano. 🙂
*Chloe is learning to play The Spinning Song this summer as her big project. I remember playing that as a kid and loving it!
That is awesome! Ah, the Spinning Song – the song with the colored sections that could be learned by rote. I love that song, but I don’t assign it very often.
