Much better than formal poses. When I was in 4th grade and offered a choice of musical instrument to learn, I initially chose the alto saxophone but then picked the horn because it looked easier with only 3 keys. I marvel now at that choice because in hindsight it put me on a career path I might never have taken.

(love the bit about them hiding in the backseat) Alto sax is a good instrument. My daughter played it in high school and has currently gone back to it which is aiding even more in her recovery from a bad accident some years ago. Through her current lessons we learned her fingers on her injury-affected hand weren't as strong as they should be (she had trouble pressing some of the keys on the instument) so her instructor advised her to receive hand therapy and it has made a big difference - not only in playing the sax, but in other ways too. You just never know how one thing is going to lead positively to another!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604779099741634311.post-69919729197795068812014-02-05T06:48:57.631-08:002014-02-05T06:48:57.631-08:00What a funny family!
