I just thought I'd let you know that my almost nine year old boy/girl twins are set to graduate from a three and half year music program in February. I have to attend classes with them and it's been quite a commitment what with all the time and the practicing and my daughter not really loving it. But, I stuck with it and we went on days we didn't really want to go and we practiced when we didn't really want to.<br /><br />Reading about your sons and how they play with their friends and their grandfather has been my inspiration. Even you taking up lessons inspired me. I want that love of music for my kids and my family.<br /><br />When we recently remodeled our living room, I took cues from your family and designed the space to be a music room / library.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your musical family with us strangers -- maybe someday our sons will end up on the same stage.Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-32042422533504582932012-12-04T07:51:46.244-05:002012-12-04T07:51:46.244-05:00I'm a music therapist Joe.

Doesn't like crowds, etc.<br />For him, too, music is the thing that is pulling him out of his shell. He has played trumpet for a while, and just this year started guitar. There's something about the guitar that is giving him a new confidence, and I am so thankful for that!<br />Thanks for the post!<br /><br />--Neighbor LadyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-88965278613963115832012-12-01T11:14:56.256-05:002012-12-01T11:14:56.256-05:00Oh, I wouldn't be shy about talking or reading...Oh, I wouldn't be shy about talking or reading or dancing in front of a crowd. But singing?<br /><br />This may have something to do with the fact that I can't carry a tune. My kids are living proof that musical talent can skip a generation.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-32209874878133569102012-12-01T10:57:19.167-05:002012-12-01T10:57:19.167-05:00Having such a passion, especially at a young age, ...Having such a passion, especially at a young age, is a gift.
