Henry's First Band Concert

December 6, 2014

Henry has been learning how to play the saxophone this year in beginning band. This is his first experience with an instrument. I have been so impressed with his progress. I cannot read music or play any instruments despite trying to learn even as an adult. He is doing so well. At Christmastime the school hosted a concert with a local music academy (Italian schools do not offer music in the upper grades) to host a concert for a local home for children in foster care. Henry's beginning band played three songs. We then heard from the intermediate and advanced bands as well as the numbers performed by the Italian academy students, and a combined finale by the advanced band and the Italian band.
