Piano lessons and standardized tests

Been giving the top two (seth and chan) piano lessons. Their practice has been paying off! Some real progress. Started them on chords tonight. Gina has worked practicing into their daily routines so it's going pretty well.

Got their annual standardized test scores back this week, too, and were very pleasantly surprised. Great progress. In fact both Seth and Chan each scored a "Post High School" level in a subject - Seth in science (of course) and Chan in reading comprehension. Way to go, guys. Not bad for a 2nd and 3rd grader. So I renewed their teacher's contract for another year (that'd be their mom.) Being homeschoolers, we don't care terribly much about the standardized tests, but its nice to know they are tracking just fine. Better than fine in fact. Much better than fine. Keep up the great work.
