I am very pleased that my son is already interested in music. My entire family plays musical instruments and sings and I am happy that my son has shown an interest as well.
It doesn’t seem to matter what genre of music is playing, my son is singing, dancing or humming along with any music that he hears. He sings the theme song to television shows and listens to the radio in the car. He loves dancing to the music on different cartoons and movies.
Over the weekend, we went to hear some of my family play music. It was the typical weekend for my family. They all brought their instruments to a central location and played bluegrass and gospel songs together.
My son’s reaction was part excitement and part intrigue. He studied how our cousin played the guitar and the banjo. He watched each move that my cousin made that night.
My aunt plays the bass and my son seemed to be amazed at the size of the bass. It must seem really huge to a toddler. The bass is a 6 foot tall instrument so I’m sure to my son it was quite large.
I am not sure what musical interest my son may pursue when he is older. Since he isn’t talking about music yet, I can’t be sure what his favorite genre is or what instrument he may would like to learn.
I think it will be interesting to watch his musical interest develop over time. I will support him in whatever he pursues, musical or otherwise.
I think that music is very important to those who appreciate and love it. To be able to play an instrument and sing is a talent and I’m sure that my son was blessed with the talent to do so if he chooses to pursue it.
As of now, I am enjoying watching the cute little dances that my son comes up with and listening to him sing along with the radio in the car.
