Playing the Guitar:

Parker began his musical journey with piano lessons. Once he was able to read, he started piano lessons. In addition to piano, we added ukulele lessons. Once he progressed on the ukulele, he joined his older brother, Jordan, for weekly guitar lessons. It’s so wonderful to hear them practice. Their Grandmother used to always recite this poem, “good, better, best; never let it rest; until your good is better, and your better is best.”

This video was from several Christmases ago. Their guitar teacher encouraged them to play their Christmas songs together. I’m so glad they did.
