It's Tuesday again, sadly, I missed last weeks toot, sometimes life can get in the way of blogging. Let's see - I think I will toot about my son this week- he has been taking drum lessons for about a year ( he's 13 ) and is getting pretty good.
Anyways, hubbo is a guitar player- and has been playing for 25 years. He is very talented and has written and recorded several demos over the years- he also sings like a cross between Glenn Danzig and Ronnie James Dio. So, the 2 of them decided to jam the other night.
Now, I know some of you moms might find a drumset and a guitar playing in the garage to be a painful experience, but I personally thought it was GREAT! Loud music and kids laughing don't bother me- because I'm a rocker myself. I tried to get my son into guitar playing when he was 8 or so, but he wasn't having it. He started going to this teen club and gets drum lessons there, and he is hooked. I am impressed he has stuck to it for a year, and has no plans of stopping.
He went to a rock concert with a friend and his dad and was mesmerized by the drumsets and professional drummers there- totally starstruck!
My son held his own with the rythyms and did an awesome job. I didn't realize how good he is getting until I heard him playing with another instrument.
I think music is a great way for parents and kids to spend one on one time.
Don't you?

I agree that music does help bonding between parent and child. It also helps to develop the right brain of a child. I signed up my boy for Piano class since last year when he was 3 and he enjoyed it.

I think that is super! My dad just bought a violin for my daughter and she is lovin it! My other daughter plays the flute. I always wanted to learn to play but we never had the $ to get instruments! I am musically inclined too so it would have been wonderful for me. I just sang instead! Loud music doesn't bother me either. As long as it has a tune, the louder the better. My toot is up too if you care to stop by. Happy TT!
What a great experience and one more way to bond with your hubbo! My Toot is up too!
