A Revolutionary Project10 Comments
My son Nathan has been taking guitar lessons for a year and a half now. He’s getting very good. I bought him a used electric guitar at a yard sale. He loves it, and plays all the time.
A month ago he found a music catalog and spent hours learning about different kinds of guitars, and dreaming about having a better instrument. The catalog has gotten really worn. April 3, 2010
How I Teach & Inspire My Kids Through MusicIf there were a way to build your children’s characters, touch their souls, inspire them to make wise choices, give them confidence, teach them to think mathematically, help them learn valuable information, and increase the bonds in your relationships, wouldn’t this be worth an investment in time, effort and a little money? It’s possible to do all these things through the medium of music. I know because I’ve done it, and I’m going to share some of my tips on successful use of the power of music in our families and homes. Music is a great way to teach children values and academics. From birth to grade 5 they love repetition, and are hungry sponges memorizing and soaking up all to which they are exposed. After grade 5, they tire of repetition more quickly, but they still absorb the examples and messages in their environment. I have tried to maximize this consideration by choosing fun music which teaches facts, ideas, principles and values I want my children to learn. October 26, 2009
Inspire, Not Require: How I Got Music In My BloodI mentioned in a recent post that my mom sang professionally. Her name is Sandi Griffiths and she sang on the Lawrence Welk Show for about 12 years.  My mother is on left with red hair. This had a real impact on our family. We’ve all enjoyed singing our whole lives, although none of us have achieved degrees in music. |
