Parent quotes... "The girls are so excited to be taking music class. They can't wait till Thursday to go back! They all love their music teachers. Alex, is actually looking forward to guitar on Thursday. She even picked out some picks at a music supply store. Victoria, was doing her homework and practicing without me telling her to over the weekend. Gaby, has been playing more than usual at home.
