I swear Dylan's primary motivating factor in taking the trumpet, was that he could have access to a super loud horn to annoy his sister whenever possible.
We are a musical family, but we are not a musical family. We have music on all the time-all genres (except country). Eva can tell a Nirvana from a Guns and Roses Song. I made sure Dylan can name #41 and Jessica from the first notes. But we have no musical talent.
Even though their parents are musically talentless, I embraced the thought of Dyleva playing an instrument, if they were interested.
Eva began the viola three years ago. I'm not sure she has ever picked it up outside of school. When I asked her, why did she choose it, she explained, "It's better than taking Music class."
Okay.
Dylan initially wanted drums, god help me. He got stuck with trumpet. But it all worked out because so did his best buddies....again not exactly the motivating factor I was looking for. However, Dylan is taking summer lessons for 5 weeks. Dylan will actually practice his trumpet....especially after a rough day with Eva!
