Also, she probably absorbed a lot of your music in utero, so it's in her for life, whether or not she becomes a musician herself. A true gift to her! I played piano for my kids wen they were infants (It's a lot harder to shove a grand piano into their mouths!)<br /> If I ever wanted to call one of my sons from the other room, all I had to do was play my jazzy version of "I've Been Working On The Railroad" on the piano and he's shortly appear, crawling into the living room with a huge smile on his face :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332050022621718584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950455008838951010.post-21441612200615326772015-07-11T10:18:08.443-07:002015-07-11T10:18:08.443-07:00How lovely!

I can remember being pushed into music lessons by my parents, and wondering why they cared so much when they seemed to have no interest in music themselves!<br />Thanks for linking up with the weekend blog hop!SMA Old Postshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622362620305337105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950455008838951010.post-20702443597999287562015-07-05T20:36:36.424-07:002015-07-05T20:36:36.424-07:00That's great!

I also used to teach violin at a charter school! I wish there were more art and music public/charter schools in our area.<br />The Wise Serpenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00860854687943261931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950455008838951010.post-2437530103606641682015-07-05T11:30:46.128-07:002015-07-05T11:30:46.128-07:00I'd say the instrument I play the best is my v...I'd say the instrument I play the best is my voice and I play it all the time LOL - we also have a keyboard, but I can only do Chopsticks and Heart and Souls...my daughter took a few music enrichment classes at school and the music teacher made a point to tell me that I need to get her more involved because she definitely has an affinity for it. When she starts Kinder in August, the charter school she goes to actually has them doing Suzuki Violin several times a week. I'm excited for her to learn! I also need to get her piano lessons....visiting from #weekendbloghop :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
