Well Levi loves his guitar and loves going to guitar lessons, but he just does not love to practice. We have had some resistance to the whole idea of practicing. Levi did not want to practice at all and it was a fight to get him to. Finally on Tuesday, the day of his lesson, I was tired of fighting so I just told him that his teacher was going to be dissappointed in him. So Levi went to his lesson without alot of practice and I was thinking that we were going to do a repeat week. Well after lessons Levi come running into the house very excited and says, "Mom, Shawn says I did great this week, even without practice." To which I reply, "Wow, Levi just imagine what you could do if you practiced more." Without hesitation Levi says, "Ehh, I like being great."
So this week I have taken away the Wii. He is coming right along working on the G, C, and G7 Chords. Levi's problem is that he doesn't care about reading notes, he just wants to play music. I have been playing simple church songs with him and he is picking them up very quickly. He has an ear for music.
This is a little ditty known as indian drum that Levi has mastered. If you can't tell, Millie is helping me hold the camera.

PS we got Levi's hair cut the next morning after this video was taken. :)
