Rhythm Lesson


Joshua (5 1/2 years old) is learning some simple piano accompaniments to his favorite Bible songs.  His repertoire is up to two songs and three different chords.  He's doing well.  However, keeping a steady beat and staying in rhythm seems to be a challenge.  This morning, with his guitar, Claude gave Joshua a mini lesson in keeping time.

As they clapped/strummed the beat, Claude said, "While you're playing you have to keep this rhythm in your head all the time."

"Yeah, like you're brain is thumping!"  Joshua replied.

"Yes, exactly!"
