Farrah, he's teaching himself! His how-to book was written in the 60s (I think it's Pete Seeger) and has great references to trying to get ahold of an ancient home reel-to-reel film camera so that you can watch some banjo-playing instructional movies.
Very cool! My youngest son is teaching himself the piano. I've forgotten since I was taught 20 years ago. Music is very much if you don't use it, you lose it. I hope Felix enjoys his new "toy"!
Love it! The banjo is a great instrument to learn to play. It always makes me happy to hear--I guess that's due to my Appalachian roots. Happy birthday to Felix, and have fun learning to play!!
Anna, I haven't popped in to your world for a long while, but now that I have am excited to see Felix with a banjo. Carter and Elijah play as well. I really love the sound of one.
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

Does he know how to play a banjo?
Time to update the kids' ages Anna? Happy birthday Felix, goodness you look like Giles in the second photo.
Who doesn't like banjo?? That will be my husband's next stringed instrument. Thanks for sharing this happy post!

Thanks for the reminder, Rose! :)
A Happy Birthday to Felix!

What a great birthday present.
Has Felix ever heard any classical banjo music? We found a CD of it at the library--really cool!
Happy birthday Felix.. What talented children you have ... And a wonderful talented mama.
