But someday perhaps they will change their minds.<br /><br />I did get to do a duet with Lauren one year, and it was fun.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-49749998532596221092012-05-08T07:13:09.365-05:002012-05-08T07:13:09.365-05:00Videos?

Which of her personalities is going to show up, the professional or the putz?<br /><br />Have you suggested duets to the teacher? Let me be clear, that adds a lot more parental stress to the occasion, especially since they have to practice together for a week or so beforehand. That can strengthen the sibling bond ... or not. :D<br /><br />But in our case it has been positive. They learn the addional art of listening to a musical partner, and they have a joint accomplishment to be proud of, without rivalry.John the Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467337009577733553noreply@blogger.com
