Played Instruments ~ Interest Passed On
Music connects one with scaled notes and it does not matter if the individual can not hear; if vibrations of the notes can be felt. Marching bands in a parade or at a half-time football show, excites and entertain all in the vacinity of a beating drum. My father played the guitar; Mother knew songs and she purchased our first piano, when I was in the 4th grade. None of us {six children and Mother} could play; however, it came in handy to visitors who could ~~ we all have good singing voices. In the sixth grade, my interest in playing an instrument aspired to a Clarinet; then Alto Sax and Basson; the sibling (also took up sports) next to me played Alto Sax and currently plays Guitar (I own one too ~~ alas, have not taken the time to learn how to play, yet). My baby sister did not play instruments in high school; however, her baby boy was mandated to try the Trumpet; then on to my eldest two children, reared by my mother, mandatory piano lessons; my son aspired to Drums, Trumpet and Sousaphone; my daughter aspired to Flute and Alto Sax ~ when they were in high school. Currently, my baby, a rising senior, has played Alto Sax ~ since the 4th grade; added Trumpet last year ~ his sophomore year, and later this year; he will try the Basson. My baby brother, also did not play instruments in high school (he took up sports); however, his baby girl is a rising prodigy - Flute. My grandson has good rhythm (currently 9); he use to use pencils as drum sticks and beat rhythm on the walls, table and doors. I suspect he will be a drummer too ~~ his father plays drums and keyboard. Support your local K-12 music programs. Young people who are involved in music will increase their odds to be more successful adults and parent(s) in the future. Four of us are Veterans (baby sister ~~ still active; four years pass eligible retirement; five of us are high school grads ~~ the one that's not, also does not have children (artist/comedian and more funny than Richard Pryor); five of us have gone on to technical school or college; two BS and an almost Master (illness compelled ceasing studies). |
