Guide to Youth Music Classes in the Albuquerque Area
There are so many good reasons to get your kids involved in music classes: from language development to math skills, coordination to creativity, emotional expression to just having fun. Piano and violin lessons were a significant part of my experience growing up, and I’m excited to get my children more involved in music classes as they get older. We’ve already had some excellent experiences with Music Together, violin camp, and dabbling with a piano book at home. It will be fun to see what my children land on in the future and if they’ll be involved in orchestra, band, or something else I hadn’t even considered.

On "The College GameDay Podcast," Davis was talking to Pete Thamel and Dan Wetzel about previews for the week. Then Davis threw in this little nugget regarding North Dakota State-UNLV at Allegiant Stadium on Oct. 10. “I need North Dakota State to win this game,” Davis said. “We don’t root. We don’t root for teams. Pete says this often. We root for the story. They got a game in New Mexico in a couple of weeks.
