  Nous avons eu la chance de voir une représentation musicale exceptionnelle! En effet, la maman d'une élève de CP, qui adore la musique et a longtemps pratiqué le piano, apprend maintenant le banjo. We had the chance to have a special music show! The mom of a First grade student, who loves music and played piano for a long time, is now learning banjo.

Son professeur et elle nous ont parlé de leur passion de la musique, et c'était vraiment très intéressant.
She and her teacher talked about their passion for music, and it was very interesting.

Elle nous a présenté son instrument, et a joué pour nous, accompagnée de son professeur: Carter Logan. She presented her instrument, and played for us, accompanied by her teacher: Carter Logan.

Ils nous ont joué plusieurs morceaux, nous ont expliqué ce qu'est le "bluegrass", un style musical très rythmé, qui nous a tous donné envie de taper dans les mains ou de danser! They played several pieces, and explained what Bluegrass is. It is a very upbeat music, which made us all want to clap our hands or dance!

Merci et encore bravo!

Carter Logan is pretty well known around southern Maine for his work on banjo and dobro with the Jerks of Grass.  Carter is also highly regarded as a teacher of stringed instruments, and in fact Squash and Gourds found its genesis at 317 Main Street, the Yarmouth studio where he and the other members of the Jerks give lessons.
