I hear too many parents on a daily basis say things like, "I don't know why we are buying this, little Johnny is only going to quit as soon as it gets hard", and they say that right in front of little Johnny. <br /><br />I'm all for putting Fiver in lessons. With the right teacher (which it seems like you have a good one!), he will blossom and it will do him so much good. First grade is a great time to start lessons - most teachers I talk to say that is the perfect age, with some exceptions, of course.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14487791937532979173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-68195029764944424382009-05-19T09:09:00.000-05:002009-05-19T09:09:00.000-05:00I am so grateful that you and Rob have given the g...I am so grateful that you and Rob have given the gift of music to my angels...they all have beautiful voices, but I must admit that Fiver's deep, strong voice has always amazed me. He sings perfectly on key...I hope he always feels comfortable enough to sing when he wants...Francie has the soprano, and my Sally has a beautiful tone...her voice reminds me of bells...(don't ask, but it is the only way I can explain it) We shall see what Bun adds to the mix when he decides to chime in.<br />By the way,blogger friends-I must tell you that these children come from a long line of musical people. Aimee and Rob both have beautiful singing voices and Aimee's maternal grandmother, aunts,uncles,and cousins are outstanding either in voice, instruments, or music teachers/band conductor, etc.GeeGeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-62588973445038507792009-05-19T08:40:00.000-05:002009-05-19T08:40:00.000-05:00I love music.

My oldest also has a gift. He took lessons for about five years and then his piano teacher stopped teaching and he didn't want another. And then we found out he had really been faking a lot. He plays by ear and can barely read music. He's just really good at playing by ear. His teacher was really helping him by teaching him how to find the chord to go with the melody. And now he can play almost any music he hears, by ear. I keep telling him he needs to find a job playing piano for parties. Ha! Maybe Fiver can play by ear -- ever tried?Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747308009364094199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-77548644334939118062009-05-19T06:32:00.000-05:002009-05-19T06:32:00.000-05:00That's cool!

Big Brother has been teaching himself the guitar, much like I did in high school, only I didn't have the Internet to help me. He also has hijacked my banjo and sometimes I hear him working on that. He doesn't sing, though. Middle Sister has taken keyboard, spent some time singing in choir, and is halfheartedly teaching herself guitar. Little Brother LOVES to sing, requires a hymnal at Mass, and who knows what he'll wind up playing. I know he'll play something. Little Brother sings when he's happy (especially when he thinks no one is paying attention.) He almost can't help it.Barb Szyszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329184613713551475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-39849726426158275362009-05-19T06:19:00.000-05:002009-05-19T06:19:00.000-05:00What a blessing to have little musicians in your h...What a blessing to have little musicians in your home! We tried piano with FB but he just wasn't that interested. Now he is taking guitar and seems to really like that. He is one of the few his age that still likes choir at church so I think he will always like music but I don't see a multicolored bus in his future.<br /><br />Tigercub,on the other hand, reminds me of August in the movie August Rush (have ya seen it, I highly recommend it!). Every time he hears music he puts his little hands up and starts "directing", although it usually quickly changes to baby dancing which is equally as cute!One More Equals Fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15272351409752530133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-82647853862543289102009-05-19T04:34:00.000-05:002009-05-19T04:34:00.000-05:00Oh...Aimee...it's eerie how similar Francie and Fi...Oh...Aimee...it's eerie how similar Francie and Fiver are to E and A!!! We've also discovered A has perfect pitch but the "noise" bothers him. E's on the flute and piano too!
