Our son is taking piano lessons from a retired educator and concert pianist. She lives down the street. He initiated these lessons on his own. He has always loved music, although he cannot carry a "complete" tune, he has a good ear! He has advanced to the next level of learning ahead of his peers and has told me piano is all he thinks about now, even while at school. He wants a piano for Christmas (he has an electronic keyboard for practice)!
Now, his piano teacher has called me to ask if it is OK for him to go to her church, as they have a great youth program and the ministers are required to have a degree in counseling, which might be helpful for my son. She had a child leaving as my son was arriving for lesson that goes to her church and he invited him (I guess the teacher and child must have spoken about seeing each other at church in his presence). He needs this and it will be another outlet for him.
The friends and family you think will step up and help your child take his/her mind off ALS may be absent, but maybe an Angel will step in... and when a note is played, they will earn their wings!
