| OK..I didn't realize I needed to give the music "family tree". DS plays the trumpet and piano. DD plays the oboe and piano. Both sang in a highly regarded children's choir (DS 5 years, DD 7 years). DD, like Weenie's kiddo, continues to study her oboe and play in the orchestra...and she too received a music performance scholarship this quarter. DS will (hopefully) graduate in May and will either enter the real world for a while or attend grad school. Both kids played in the precollege ensembles at the Hartt School (orchestra and wind ensemble). DH was a theater techie but has nothing to do with music (although he has a great ear!!). I was a music major (voice) until I realized I didn't have the drive to succeed as a performer (too whimpy...not my voice...my drive). But I still sing in community theater events, and at weddings on occasion. |
