Danny's orchestra concert

Tonight Danny had another orchestra concert. It has really been rewarding to witness his growth over the past two years. It is fun to hear him practice and actually take ownership of his progress. I love music. I played the flute from 5th grade until my senior year. Some of my fondest school memories come from being in band and symphony orchestra. I am a firm believer in the benefit of music on a child's cognitive development. I told Danny that by learning how to read and play music, he has essentially learned another language that is truly universal. I am really proud of his dedication because it isn't easy, but he's finding out that it's worth it!
