We have a wonderful time and I start them when they show an interest. By interest, I mean they are sitting down trying to play songs themselves over and over again for months. And begging me to teach them. My younger ones are inspired by my older ones and there is ALWAYS someone playing the piano throughout the day. <br /><br />My three oldest and I were all playing the violin as well but there is no one who teaches the violin in our small town so we have stagnated on that. There is someone who teaches the harp though and I catch a very longing look in my daughters' eyes when she plays in church.Montserrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13056974831892116493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-20321478322157454842010-07-18T01:16:53.806-07:002010-07-18T01:16:53.806-07:00Reading your post and the comments above, it seems...Reading your post and the comments above, it seems many of us are inspired by our children's lessons! <br /><br />I have enquired about lessons for myself but I just don't know what I would do with my children while I'm having my lesson....so for now, I try and practice the pieces my eldest brings home.<br /><br />I'm like you Deanna - my children are not in scholar phase but I feel like this is a good time to begin lessons anyway. Who cares about the 'rules'! LOL I don't do 'rules' anymore! :-)Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12009864099477355686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-91300338270739093542010-07-17T20:10:12.016-07:002010-07-17T20:10:12.016-07:00Nice Job!

I've played the piano since I was 8, tried flute and guitar and then last summer when my 10dd started violin lessons I got me one too. It has by far been the most challenging instrument for me but I can echo your post that when the kids see us as parents trying something challenging it really helps to motivate and inspire them. It's fun to play duets together too!Jenp8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02720460017598970581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-8511635898140043432010-07-16T20:03:21.389-07:002010-07-16T20:03:21.389-07:00I think you're wonderful for taking the time t...I think you're wonderful for taking the time to practice and take lessons with your children! <br /><br />I went back and forth about music lessons until I read in Charlotte Mason book #5 that learning to really love good music is more important than learning to play it. After that it didn't bother me that my ten year old quit the piano after only a few months. She listens to classic music every night when she goes to bed and she complains about the ugly music she hears when we are out in public. That's good enough for me! <br /><br />My son loves to play but I'm going to wait till he is ready to really practice hard and work for it before I put him back in lessons. For now he plays at Church and just for fun which is also good enough for me. <br /><br />I hope some day I will get to see him back in lessons. Maybe when I'm finished cleaning out my house and having this baby I will start my violin lessons again and inspire the heck out of everyone!Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518442124374879454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-79731761908777251922010-07-16T16:53:41.600-07:002010-07-16T16:53:41.600-07:00I just gave you blog award
