My Flute

Well this may not be a very exciting post but for some it will be learning something new about me. Every since Sunday School we have picked a song out of the Song Hymnal just about every night and sing it as a family. Haiden and Ryan really like this! It has been fun and quiet humorous seeing how we don't know hardly any of the songs much less how they go. Plus our music talents around here are not the best. Well I have been trying to read the notes and get the right tune and beats to sing the song as close as accurate as we can get it. I have not read music in twelve years, so this got me thinking about my flute that I played in school and wondering if I still had my first teaching booklet to get some tips to help me understand reading the music in the song book. So I pulled the flute and some music I still have down from the closet, and guess what, I still have my teaching booklet that shows the different keys for my flute and meanings for different symbols in music. I got a little excited and started playing around to see if I could remember the keys on my flute. I got most of them, but it did not sound very good! The flute has not been played since my ninth grade year so it needs some tuning, touching up whatever you want to call it. I played a few cheesy songs and would ask my husband do you know what that was, of course he didn't know and he was half asleep already. Anyways, I had fun playing around! It is amazing how something like that can just come back to you when you put it in your hands. I definitely need some practice believe me, but I still have the basics. Well I had fun and thought I'd share my moment of music with you all.
