Many of you know that Henry has taken guitar lessons this year at school. He took a few lessons while we were in China but there were many kids and the quality of the instruction was quite low. This year he received 1:1 instruction from his teacher, Jorge. Once a week all year he and Jorge would practice. And not boring stuff either! Each week Jorge would show him the power chords for a popular song. Henry practiced songs from the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Boston, etc.

On June 4 was the music recital at ICS. Kids played their songs on their chosen instruments (violin, guitar, drums, or piano) and Jorge or the other teacher played accompaniment parts so no matter what instrument they played (well, except for the violin) it was like they were in a rock band.

Henry played "Horse With No Name" by America. yep, the 1971 classic. :) His friend Alejandro joined him on the drums.

We recorded video of it but it's too large to upload so here are a few photos.
