Although Mother’s Day is now past, it’s always a good time to thank and acknowledge moms who instill music in their children’s lives. Both my parents loved music, and they owned a substantial and somewhat eclectic collection of LPs (and some 78s!) they liked to play in the house. Although she never had any formal musical training, my late mother played the piano we somehow acquired. She couldn’t read a note of music, so the music stand on the piano sat empty. But I can remember being a little girl, and watching her sit at the upright improvising pleasant-sounding chords and melodies. In hindsight, I realize she must have had a terrific ear for music to be able to do that! She’s the one who signed me up for those early ballet lessons, and eventually, encouraged my pursuit of the flute. It certainly had a lasting and positive influence on my life! So, in honor of ALL moms who bring music into the lives of their children and nurture their interests, thank you!
