Piano Lessons

It feels so nice to be connected to everyone again. ;0)  It's kind of scary to realize how dependent I am on the internet.
I hope everyone is doing well.  I am surviving....catching up on laundry.  I'm not sure how I got so behind.  In order to stay caught up I need to do one load a day.  I don't know what happened, but I have about 4 loads of laundry that need to go through the cycle of wash/dry/fold/put away.  I'm not complaining.  I'm happy to have a washer and dryer.  It's little things that I keep looking at, wondering if I will have them when we move to the mission field.  We won't have a dishwasher...we will have 5 dishwashers. lol  Sorry, I couldn't help it. Corny, I know.  I guess we will just have to all pitch in and wash everything by hand.  Not  big deal.  I find the kitchen stays neater when I wash dishes by hand anyway.  You can tell when I am home alone(children are sleeping) and my beloved is out, because I tend to be very chatty. ;0)
I hope you don't mind the chattiness.

The house we are renting has a beautiful piano.  I know I have expressed how I have always dreamed about playing the piano since I was little.  I would love to take lessons, but I don't know how I would be able to squeeze it into our schedule.  I think what makes it harder is having to drive somewhere, and the amount of time it would take for a few of us to take lessons, etc.   Anyway, Micah has a desire to learn as well.  Does anyone know of a child friendly program that I can use for him?  I am debating whether to start him on lessons now, or just wait until we move.  I do have a keyboard that I would like to take with us, and hopefully be able to use to take lessons over there.


Excuse my beloved there.  He does have an office in the house....I'm not sure how he works amidst the noise  music . ;0)

I recently purchased a homeschool edition of Learn & Master Piano.  It has enough DVD's for supposedly 2 years worth of lessons.  I am only up to Lesson 1, and I already learned about chords, which is so exciting.  It makes you feel like you are actually playing the piano, even though it's only a couple of chords. lol ;0)  It's good like for Kayla and I, but too much for Micah.

 I would like to at least start teaching Micah the notes on the staff, etc.  However, I am not sure if I would cause him more confusion or not.

I also purchased the Guitar version of the program above for my beloved.  I wouldn't mind learning the guitar as well.    I don't know if I am putting off the inevitable.   If not I will have to bite the bullet and make time in our schedules to drive somewhere to take lessons.
Any advice from you experienced piano players?
