I'm trying now to work on some pieces I played before I quit, thinking it will be good for my brain to read the music and learn it again.<br /><br />Playing by ear is an interesting thing and I wonder if it's passed down genetically. My father played that way and I have at least one cousin that does, and his dad did too. I also played the cello for about two years! My dad played the cello, piano and trombone. Their's was a musical family. podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-62065712661203001482014-10-14T16:27:02.985-04:002014-10-14T16:27:02.985-04:00I don't play.

Not sure when little man will be ready to learn. :-)<br /><br />I grew up going to the Bagpipe festival in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. I always loved listening to them. That would be a fun instrument to learn. :-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298251160546507540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-57199526615871049602014-10-14T16:26:24.821-04:002014-10-14T16:26:24.821-04:00Good for the kiddos!

I took accordion lessons and violin lessons but didn't learn to play either one very well! I think everyone needs to play something:) Enjoy your evening dear friend, HUGS!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511604348057625922noreply@blogger.com
