Hello from another newbie

Hello,

I am so glad I discovered Soft Mozart about a month ago. It seems this was the answer to my long search for our music education. We are a homeschooling family with three children Jacob 9, Sarah soon to be 7, and Esther 5, living in the US. I have always had a desire to learn the piano and was briefly exposed to music theory in high school.

My father liked to play Classical music albums when we were young and it was wonderful seeing some of that music in the Music collections list. Maybe one day we (my nieces included)will surprise him and my Mom with a mini concert. Wouldn't that be something?!! We have been learning using the demo and hope to be ready to start the program in the new school year.

I am reading Hellene's book and it is such an eye opener to read the history of music and the way we learn music. English is not my native language so I totally get the idea of tonal language because we also have words that are spelled the same but the tone in which they are spoken can change their meanings. There is so much rich info. in this book.

In many ways I'm finding SM has been an answer to prayers and I see wonderful benefits already such as enjoyment of instrumental music, discipline, patience, completing tasks, focus, mastering skills etc.
The children's videos sold me to the program. Playing piano at ages 2,3,4... just amazing!! I am encouraged by the other adult learners featured on the forum. I'm excited about our musical journey. It's great seeing so many nationalities represented here and hopefully we'll get to see more from Kenya as well.
