Moral of the story...encourage your kids to learn music, they will thank you later.  In working with children I have noticed the kids who take music lessons and specifically learn piano at a young age seem to operate from both sides of the brain and I have even observed some differences in the way they socialize and learn.

Many years ago I heard Michael Hedges play guitar and it changed everything! He died tragically in an accident in 1997. Now I have the fortune of working with his producer Will Ackerman and it has changed everything!! One day in the studio Will was sharing Michael stories and he handed me a beautiful Martin Parlor guitar and said I should play it. Turns our it was Michael's...Life is amazing!
