Musical kids


Having musical children is truly significant for musical parents, but the problem is that not all children have an interest in music. Now the question is, “How will we get our children interested in music?” No one answer will gratify this question.

Many believe that forcing your children to do music is wrong if they do not want to do it, but is it really forcing if they are too young to make such an important decision? Many kids will not want to do music because they would not want to do something that will take away from playtime and that would require practicing.

I hope that my children will be like me and WANT to play hours every day. I still remember the days that seem like yesterday, when I had all the time in the world to practice. One reason why I support the act of compelling kids to learn music so young is for this reason. They do not understand how lucky they are to have that much time available to focus on music—to focus on bettering themselves at one thing they will love. I understand that not all children will love music if their parents do, but they must be pressed to do it until they are old enough to make that decision.
