The Hills are Alive With the Sound of Music

Okay, so maybe not the hills, but the room upstairs in the music store where Jared's preschool class had a field trip sure was! The kids had a blast getting some hands-on time with some different instruments, and they got to see how one might repair the bell of a trombone, etc. It was pretty neat to see their enthusiasm!

Max, Jared, and Allison got to test out the recorders:

Here's Jared (and Teacher Terrie!) testing out a clarinet. I don't think he was ever able to get it to make any sound:

Jared had WAY too much fun playing the little violin. He was going crazy with it!

Here's a little bit of the repair shop demonstration. Jared was VERY interested.

Look at his little face all scrunched up in concentration while he listens/watches!

When the guy finished what he was doing (soldering on a metal piece), Jared's face lit right up and was very impressed. It was pretty funny!

At the end, the kids all got Kazoo's to play and they put on a little show of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" (at least, that's what it was SUPPOSED to sound like! ha ha!) Here's Katin, Jared, Amanda, and Cooper:

I love that serious face. When I ran into Danny and the kids at the park (his reunion picnic)Jared was looking tired so I said to Uncle Jeff, "That's his tired face! He needs a nap!" And Jared piped up,
"This isn't my tired face, this is my looking at you face!" We still laugh when we think of it!
