Crescendo Open House

There is a music academy downtown that a lot of the people in KPhil teach at and they were holding their annual open house.  It involved live performances throughout the day, some delicious catered food and an instrument petting zoo.  This is where the kids get a chance to try out different instruments!  I think it's a great idea and I thought that the kids would enjoy it.  They had other fun activities for them to do such as a scavenger hunt, a wall to draw on and dessert :)

Our kids were only interested in the violin and the piano even though we tried to get them to try other things.  I'm thinking that maybe we start Dude on some piano lessons since he's so excited about it and it's a great gateway instrument!  It teaches you how to read music, do both clefs and play with both hands.  Will have to see how that goes.  :)
