We made a major investment on the weekend. Simon bought an electric piano (in a single visit to one shop – most unlike him!). The boys are already making good use of it. Harrison is able to turn it on and bash away whenever he likes, and he and Simon have a duet of “Froggy went a courtin’” going (Harrison’s role is to hit a single note in time with the music). The box (literally the size of a coffin) is also being out to good use as a boat, a train, or a hiding place.
A couple of weekends ago we took Harrison to a WASO concert for under 5s, and Harrison had his first go on a violin. He also tried out Simon’s violin at home.
Along with Simon’s recent discovery of ITunes, which has reignited his passion for making compilations, the piano is changing the tone of our household.
