note.
When I was a child my mother enrolled me in piano lessons. Instead of explaining music to me, my teacher taught me how to sing. My fingers could reach with the numbers one through five
One, two three, two one,
one one, I pounded out "Mary
Had a Little Lamb" easily.
But during our second week of
lessons, my teacher introduced
a numbered box Six.
"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
was beyond my five note
musical vocabulary so I did
any 5-year-old would do
I quit.
My stint as a pianist was followed by two years of cello (it was too heavy to carry up the driveway); four years of clarinet I really wanted to play saxophone; two weeks of sax inot cool enough, a year of piano for me; four months of harmonica (much less appealing once I returned from Salani).
Today, a Goodtime Banjo is taking up valuable space in my tiny room because I plan on learning a few blugrass tunes (as soon as I find the time).
I back the dedication to join or even worship a band. Obviously, I'm not the best role model for music talented women But Joplin writer James Nazeer stuck with music joined the band Aubrey and wrote the story on page 10 about girls who play in bands. So add her and the women she writes about to your list of musical heroes.
