I love to see and hear the students' excitement and interest in learning this new instrument. While we learn to play these wonderful instruments, the students are also learning responsibility, respect, and patience by practising proper care of the instruments, listening and following directions, taking turns, and trying their best even when the learning becomes difficult.\r\n\r\nOur students are very thankful and excited for this exciting new project in music class.
