Do you play an instrument? On a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high) how good are you?
How about your Teen/Tween?
Bonus: Now that school's out are the kids having fun?

Ramona Mom to 2 great kids and wife to one wonderful hubby since 1990!
Do you play an instrument? On a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high) how good are you?
No I played flute for a bit but not very long
How about your Teen/Tween?
James plays trumpet and his gr 2 exam is on the 7th of July. He's getting much better.
Kieran is something else completely. He's 9 and plays piano, cello, guitar(elec/acoustic),recorder and is in the school choir. He plays all of these well and enjoys it. Merrin wants to play the flute but I'm waiting for her attitude to improve before I get her lessons but she plays recorder at school.
Gabriel is only 3 so he messes with the various instruments laying around the house
Bonus: Now that school's out are the kids having fun?
Bonus is SCHOOL'S STILL IN!!!! For 4 weeks at least
Do you play an instrument? On a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high) how good are you?
I don't play anything.
How about your Teen/Tween?
Connor plays guitar.
I used to play the piano, but quit when it became apparent that my brother was way more talented than I was--I just didn't want to compete! Decades later, I regret that decision. Tell that to your kids if they're thinking of quitting their instruments--you will regret it!
DS plays the trombone and has done for about two years--I can't really tell whether he's talented because the trombone is meant to be played with other instruments, but his teacher says he is good. He plans to join the jazz band in middle school next year.
DD has played the piano for 4 years. She can pick up just about anything by ear, chords and all, can transpose into another key by ear, and loves to compose her own stuff. She's a bit less disciplined about reading music, but has a very patient teacher who is working with her on that.
