I am learning to try new things.
I am learning to hear and copy a beat.
I am learning to appreciate music.
I am learning that the world is full of amazing opportunities. Right now, we are learning what we like. In the years to come, may we all follow our our dreams! ( See the surf clip! )
I am learning cool dance moves!
