Joshua is continuing with his music lessons. A very kind German lady (a music teacher) takes him for a lesson every week. She teaches him guitar and recorder too. Although this makes his Wednesday afternoons very busy, it is really great for him, and he's busy trying to fit in lots of very short practices in each day - trying to harden up his finger tips.
Why guitar, you may ask?
Well, last year we had a couple of Canadian volunteers come to work in Tz for 6 months. Alice the young woman, brought a small travel guitar with her, and was very willing to take Joshua for one lesson each week. He loved these, but wasn't able to do any practicing for himself inbetween lessons, as we didn't a have a guitar. However, when he got to school holidays, she said that he could go to her house at 8.30am in the morning, and have a half hour music practise. What a brave lady. Then there was a N. Irish couple who very kindly gave us their little guitars, when we told them our story. Thanks - Diane and Lesley! We went into a music shop to find a suitable book, and then get some other stuff that we thought might be rather necessary for learning guitar - tuner, plektern, strings. What do we know? Glenn and I never took guitar lessons. We're delighted for Josuha. It's such a great opportunity! So now he has a teacher and a guitar.
How His plans work out so well!
