Bad photo, good experience

Last week, our ten-year old Ben (red arrow) took part in the fall band concert. He played the french horn. Heather and I both enjoyed the show.

Wendy, his band teacher, is an ethno-musicologist who teaches band in her "spare" time. We appreciate both jobs!

Her use of ethnomusicology is helping Africans to use their own music to worship God, rather than their using some non-natural (western) music form.

Wow! I'm totally all for encouraging ethnic groups to use their own cultural expressions for worship.
