I also played various other instruments throughout my high school years, like flute, trumpet and clarinet. I really hope when we have a baby we can pass some of that down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-269492 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 09:33:20 +0000 rachiecakes 269492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in a rock band with @Audge10 when we were teenagers. I (not so) secretly hope our two boys form a band, too, haha</p> <p>When I sing to DS, he does sing along with me like, "aaahhh" it's pretty cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-269427 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 09:04:46 +0000 ladyfingers 269427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I played piano from 4th through 9th grade and viola from 6th through 12th -- I was All-State three years in a row and went to summer camp orchestra and was in All-City and city youth orchestras so I hope LO picks something up! DH was into drumming, he was really good when he was in high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-269417 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:59:16 +0000 MsLipGloss 269417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - perfect pitch, too. </p> <p>@MrBee: I am also a classically trained pianist, although I played jazz piano in college. Learning to improv was a great lesson (on so many levels) for this OCD-Type A girl. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-269365 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:29:53 +0000 mrsjyw 269365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not, but my brother is gifted, I'm hoping some of those genes are in me and it rubs off on our kids? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263835 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 14:08:59 +0000 Weagle 263835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both DH and I are musically inclined, as are a good bit of our family members. We hope she loves playing and listening to music as much as we do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263789 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 12:58:06 +0000 banana 263789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad and brother as super musically inclined. Too bad i"m totally not! haha. Anyway, I hope my son or daughter pick up their music skillzzzzzz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263354 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 12:34:28 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 263354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am! I play several instruments, sing and write, and studied classical piano for 15 years! Singing is my favorite, though. Hands down. I hope LO picks it up....I sing to her constantly. We have a piano at our house and I plan to start teaching her when she is 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263349 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 12:22:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 263349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, played violin for years and years and taught violin too for a bit (private lessons). I can also hammer out some tunes on piano and cello. </p> <p>We're going to buy a piano when we moved from our condo to a bigger house, and start LO on piano lessons when she's a few years old. I think piano is a great starting (or forever) instrument for her; will get her to read music in multiple clefs, and will be fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263293 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 11:15:15 +0000 chopsuey 263293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not musical, but many people in my fam sing well. Lo can already carry a tune so I think she'll sing fantastically :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263290 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 11:13:00 +0000 heffalump 263290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh and I were both in band. I only went through high school, dh through college. I hope lo joins too. </p> <p>I ended up switching over to visual arts..... so there's a good chance my po will be active in some sort of arts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263287 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 11:08:59 +0000 loveisstrange 263287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I played classical violin for 13 years and did choirs and singing. DH plays guitar and bass extremely well and keyboard and drums pretty well. Our house is FULL of instruments. We own 13 guitars and bass guitars, 6 keyboards, 2 drum sets, a baby grand, 2 violins, an alto sax, a trumpet, a clarinet, a mandolin... man, you name it.</p> <p>We're planning to do everything we can to encourage C to pick up an instrument. I think there are many benefits in all areas of life. DH wants to enroll her in piano lessons as soon as we can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263279 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 10:50:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 263279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow 20 years?! You must be good ::)</p> <p>I loved music growing up, I've played piano, violin, guitar, and clarinet. I loved piano the most and did it the longest. I still play occassonally but I don't have a piano</p> <p>I would love DS to pick up music!! It's so fun, therapeutic and rejuvenating. I do plan to start him on piano lessons by 4... maybe 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263275 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 10:46:24 +0000 mediagirl 263275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My husband is, though. Neither of us play anything now. We don't have any instruments in the house. Maybe one day we will see if she is interested in piano or guitar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263273 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 10:43:37 +0000 Meridian 263273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope so! I played violin for 12 years and took voice lessons for 10 years through college. But it's been 10 years and my voice is now rusty and untrained again... don't even ask about the violin, I can barely squawk out Twinkle Twinkle, haha. :( </p> <p>DH has no musical inclination at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263260 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 10:13:16 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 263260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing but can't sing. DH is a musician and Mavrick already shows interest in guitar playing :) I love musicians so I would love for Mavrick to pick it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263257 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 10:07:05 +0000 luckypenny 263257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD always "sings" along to music on the radio when we're in the car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263252 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 10:01:21 +0000 SleepyMonkey 263252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to be really good at singing and i have really good pitch, but i haven't done it regularly since high school. i'm hoping if i sing to her now when she is in the womb and when she is a baby, she'll pick it up too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263230 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 09:21:33 +0000 erwoo 263230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm sort of musically inclined. Played classical piano for 10 years, played the alto sax for 3 years, and I sing decent but not good enough to make my own album. :P I do plan on having my kids play the piano b/c of its brain development benefits. Because once they know how to play the piano they can pretty much learn how to play any instrument. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-musically-inclined-think-your-los-will-pick-it-up#post-263225 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 09:15:52 +0000 mrbee 263225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have a nice singing voice but it broke when I hit puberty.</p> <p>Played piano for about 20 years... classical piano. Some day I'll study jazz piano. Scary to think of how bad my chops must be right now.</p> <p>Are you musically inclined? Think your LOs will pick it up? </p>
