Orchestras and Music and Dance Lessons

 Emma, Reese and Nora all take piano along with a string instrument. Emma does cello, Reese does guitar and Nora violin. Lucy and Jane and Benson all are in a music class called "Let's Play Music". So needless to say...our family's time is taken up a lot by music lessons and events and practicing. Lots of practicing. I'm so proud of them though. So much hard work. 

Nora just started playing with her first orchestra at American Heritage called "Lyceum orchestras". She is in the first level orchestra called Prelude and is one of two section leaders for her section. We hope Emma will want to audition for this next fall. It's only once a week so not too time consuming. Nora has really been liking it though. 




Emma's really been enjoying orchestra. Her teacher makes it fun and she has made some really good friends. Her private teacher is named Logan McKinney. He's been so great. 




Nora and her best friend, Lucy Swan, did a mini musical through Hale Center theater in Orem. They had a great time. 



Jane started taking dance lessons from Miss Andrea at Dance Showcase Company. Emma and Reese and Nora all took dance from her when they were little too! She had a rough time going for a few months- almost the whole semester. I told Andrea we weren't going to continue after the Christmas break because she was fighting me on going every week. But right before the concert she started loving it and getting excited. She LOVED dancing on the big stage SO much and she was so cute. So we are going to continue for his and see if she continues liking it.
