Lessons from a HomeSchooling Parents Perspective

A great big thank you to Carrie S Moore, home-schooling parent of 5 children plus the caregiver to darling husband Nate, a favorite dog and dozens of chickens. When our daughter showed interest in learning to play the violin we realized that seeking outside lessons was about putting our faith and trust in an expert of that instrument.  Though my husband has a substantial background in music, he isn't knowledgable in this particular instrument, so we put our trust in Ms. Sandie. We went in realizing that our  daughter wasn't going to be an expert of the instrume nt over night, but that it would take time for her to be proficient at the instrument. As a homeschooling mother of five, I know that practice makes perfect. Just as you need to practice your math facts to master them, so you need to practice your instrument to master it.
