Instruments

The music school our kids attend has an annual open house that includes a faculty recital and an instrument petting zoo. The kids get to try different instruments, meet teachers, and become inspired by those around them.

Sweet Daughter had a lot of enthusiasm for the drum set.

Our rule is you always have to do some type of music. I also required they spend 3 years on piano and learn the basics before switching instruments. They both needed to be able to learn to read music and play at a basic level before trying another instrument. This is the beginning of their 3rd year. Sweet Son has no interest in switching off of piano. Sweet Daughter changes her mind, at least daily, if she will switch and if she does what instrument she would try.
