cooler than hot cross buns

remember how we used to go to music class in elementary school? "hot cross buns" on the recorder, anyone? c'mon you know, hot cross buns. hot cross buns. one a penny. two a penny. hot cross buns.. yes it is still with me even at 24 years old.

well, we don't have "music class" everyday (wouldn't that be awesome? my very own 6-year-old band!? hmm.. not ready to let go of this idea..) so for awhile in art class, we had a music theme. we made drums, watched youtube videos of random people playing piano, the flute, drums, guitar, etc.

the coolest part of the week was that we got to have SPECIAL GUESTS!!

special guest: CARA JANE on the GUITAR!!

cara taught them about the parts of a guitar, played a little for them, and let them try to play! FUN.. they loooved trying to name the parts of the guitar and listening to cara jam a little.

special guest: ROBIN on the FRENCH HORN!!

eduardo mastering the technique robin taught

french horn. is robin fancy or what?

rachel learning to play..

you should have seen robin's grand entrance playing the horn as she walked into the room.. and their faces- oh man. robin taught them all how to position their lips, how to blow into the horn, where they should put there hands.. they were more than freaking out they were so excited! that was my first time to try the french horn.. they get to do it at age 6. watch out, we might have some musical prodigies on our hands..

oh and yeah, that's right.. my roommates pretty much rock. perhaps we should start an apartment band. i'll be the interpretive dancer and kendall can learn the drums.. ahhh yeah. for real, THANK YOU so much, robin and cara!
