We began Suzuki piano lessons with Ms. Bates just a few weeks before the COVID shutdown last year, so nearly all of our lessons with her have been virtual ones from our living room. She hoped to resume in-person lessons this fall, but then COVID case numbers started surging again, and she felt it would be safer for most students to stay remote. She gave vaccinated students the option of coming to the studio though . . .
. . . and Daniel decided he wanted to meet with his teacher in person. We got Anna started with her remote lesson at home this afternoon, then Daniel and I drove to Ms. Bates' studio for the first time since last March, and arrived right around the time Anna finished. It's kind of efficient, in a "new normal" sort of way.
After Daniel's piano lesson, I took him straight home to a very different sort of lesson. His church youth group was coming over to our house to practice the archery skills they learned a few weeks ago. When I saw that they were using balloons as targets, I was tempted to go out and join them. There's something uniquely satisfying about popping a balloon with an arrow.
