Teaching Kids Music

[Musician4God1611]

Just wanted to share an experience to all the musicians and aspiring musicians with kids. I started teaching my daughter (2 years old) the piano. I know, I'm crazy. But really it was easy. I took colored construction paper and tape, and color coated two octaves of white keys. And rather than teach her A B C D E F G, I taught her Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do. Well, I've been at it for a month or two now, and not only does she know all the notes by heart, she can hit them by command as I call them out randomly.

Teach your children music, because it will impact their life, and their life will impact their church, and their church will impact the world.

No crazier than me teaching myself guitar at 35 years of age with no one around to help me.

Not crazy at all.  That's neat she's picking it up so fast.

I couldn't get my older son interested in learning music, but my younger son is interested.  I got him a ukulele for Christmas, and I'm having just as much fun playing it as he is.  I think I'm going to have to just buy my own eventually.
