I Love These Kids!

So infectious... They are having so much fun. They were part of a non profit extra curricular group in Louisville Kentucky that allowed kids to learn multiple musical instruments.

It's lovely to see the struggle between concentration  and delight on their faces. 

Thanks for such an uplifting clip.

. . . . . and for classical music, here's one from South Africa which yours put me in mind of. 

You really have to go a long way to beat the uninhibited joy of youngsters, shame we all grow up 😀  😀  😀  😀  😀  😀  😀  

But my school music lessons were nowhere near as exciting or inspiring, quite the opposite in fact.  Oooh, I'm so envious.

Thanks for posting that great video, Pasta.

It's intersting to observe how some of the kids are 'simply playing the notes' (as I would have to do), whereas others are really 'feeling the music' (as I would love to do but could never manage).  In particular, the ginger-haired lad is obviously a 'natural' musician.

I've posted this many times before but it's so full of joy that I feel it's definitely worth another outing here.  (The 13-year-old and 11-year old brothers, fronting the band, are clearly loving their music but it's their 9-year-old brother in the background who really drives it along with his drumming):

If it's talented kids' time, it's not hard to see why young Lohi's father has tears in his eyes here:

. . . and here's young Soan bringing tears to his own eyes as he wins the final of French version of The Voice Kids:

I'm afraid I find precocious kids who emulate established pop stars a bit pretentious.

Thanks for the additions to the thread, Chris. There are a lot of talented children out there.
