Piano Lessons

My in-laws let us borrow their keyboard before they left town for the winter.  The kids have really enjoyed playing around with it.  There are three modes of playing on this device:
1) Keyboard plays songs by itself
2) Keyboard lights up the keys (showing you where to put your hands)
3) Keyboard only lights up the keys you press (no guidence)

MJ has really taken to "playing" the piano since last fall when he learned Mary Had a Little Lamb and Twinkle Twinkle at my brother's house. 
Last week I heard him downstairs "playing" The Wedding March

Bobby: you know he's actually playing that
Me: No he's not, the keyboard is showing him where to put his hands

Uh, no. He's playing it himself. Not the prettiest version of hand placement but piano lessons should work on that.

I'm jealous of a six year old! How I wish I could play the piano. Great job, Matthew. Keep it up!
