Most schools have their music rooms where a variety of musical instruments are found: piano, drums, guitars, wind instruments, “sound systems” and even Behringer keyboards.
With High School Musical and GLEE, I am sure a lot of students dream of being in their school’s music room and belting out songs or playing musical instruments to accompany the singers.
One thing that is missing here in our country, we don’t have marching bands in schools like some have in other countries. Now that would be a good addition to the extra-curricular activities for the students. being in one also teaches them to have lots of patience, discipline and perseverance

My husband is a piano player, having had formal lessons when he was younger. I did have formal lessons but the skills weren’t fully developed maybe because we didn’t have a piano where I can practice or maybe because I do not have the necessary talent and skills that go with it. I rest my case
Anyway, our two children are quite good with the scales even if they haven’t had formal training. We do have several piano sheet music for them though they do not use it when they play. The play the piano mostly by ear.
Below is my youngest daughter practicing the scales:
Yes, she can play some tunes but can not read notes yet maybe this year since she will be in first grade already.
