Piano Student Siblings

I encourage the parents of my piano students
to bring their other children to the lessons--
as long as they are well behaved.

For one thing it is a good place
to teach children to be quiet during a concert
(their sibling's lesson).

For another thing, they are absorbing music
and developing their musical ear.

And finally, they are more likely to become
future students.

This is Isaac, whom my dog Duchess LOVES!!!!
Duchess knows to which family Isaac belongs,
and now that they don't bring him,
Duchess searches for the baby when Andrew and Hannah
come for their lessons.
Nicole, after a long day at school and her piano lesson was over,
fell asleep while listening to her Suzuki Book 1 CD
during brother Justin's lesson.
I couldn't resist taking her picture.

Then Katherine fell asleep while older sister Elizabeth
was playing "Away in a Manger."
We decided Elizabeth plays a lullaby very well.

Kaitlin was sooo good during sister Audrey's lesson today.
She used to demand Mommy's attention.
She will definitely get a star.
Julianne finished her lesson
and is contented playing with beanie babies
during sister Madeline's lesson.
