Musical children

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe, either by RSS reader or by email.

You may also like to check out an offer I've put together for you at my other website!

I would love it if my children were musical. Sporty yes, academic yes, but none of them are showing any signs of musical talent.

It’s not like we have nothing musical in our house. We have a guitar which was bought for me (never used it), a djembi (that’s an african drum) and even a piano that has been tuned, refined and even had new replacement piano hinges!

Nobody shows any interest in any of the above, except for middle son who went through a phase of playing the djembi. I have dreams of them becoming pop stars or session musicians or even just a chance to enter them into Britain’s Got Talent!

More gift ideas!

Following on from my earlier post about gifts for my 16-year-old, I’ve been pondering.

If only he had a hobby….something that he could collect for. I don’t mean collect beanie babies or smurfs…something like…I don’t know….drumming! That way we could just go to a music store and buy proline products to build up his range.

We have a piano but I guess once you have a piano…that’s it! You have a piano and can’t add a great deal to it! His dad is paying for a school trip to France, at least that’s what he said 6 months ago, but now the letter has arrived asking for payment, it’s all gone a bit quiet!

So it’s back to the drawing board! Anyone got any ideas?
