Musical Instruments For Kids

As a care giver for children, I have witnessed what great inspiration and chance for expression musical instruments provide. Whether they are mainstream kids without challenges so to speak or kids with huge challenges and developmental issues, kids will thrive with making their own music. I believe it with all my heart. I grew up in a big family. We had a Baby Grand Piano available. Five out of Eight of us learned the piano and moved on to other musical instruments with some talent. One played the drums, it was his choice. He told my Mother he was going to buy drums or a motorcycle, she begged for the drums, no matter how loud it got, she never complained! Another brother still plays in an award winning band a few nights a week. He learned "by ear" and eventually studied music in college as his minor.What impressed me most about this important element in the life of a child is the fact that it gives them the opportunity to express themselves without rules or judges.
