Jamming Out...Your Love of Music...

Hudson,

You still love music and jamming out. YEAH! Mommy loves that, I have to admit. What would I do without music and lyrics? I missed my calling, but you have your whole life! Although I will never force you. I hope you continue with your love of music and instruments, but it has to be something you want.

We have been jamming out since you were a baby. It started with me carrying you and listening to loud music and dancing when you were just a wee babe - every single day! Some of the best days of my life!

You still LOVE LOVE LOVE the drums. Your instrument of choice. I put you in piano, but that was a little premature. You were only 3! You were not really into doing the homework, so we are taking a hiatus from that until you are about 4.5. The thing you liked the most about piano class were these 2 girls that also took piano, who you would see before your class. Your teacher was Mr. Mike and you really liked him too. I keep telling you it all starts with the piano. Start there and you will learn music theory and the backbone of what you will need to learn any instrument. I sure wish I would have learned piano when I was young.

Here is what's interesting. You are getting a bit frustrated with your drums. I think you are tired of just banging. Heck, you have the moves. I mean you are a great drummer for 3! You do this crossover with your sticks. It's awesome! However, you will throw them down and say, "I want to play different and I want bigger drums like they have in bands!" I say, "You mean you want to learn to play the drums." You say, "Yes, I do!" It's amazing. You are so smart. I tell you it will happen in due time. You have to keep your interest and be willing to practice and we will get you a big drum set. The funny thing is - You have the biggest drum set around for a 3 year old. You are something else my little rock star!!!

Remember this - You cannot get anywhere in life without practice and passion.

I love you my drummer, my rockstar, my 3-year-old musician,

Mamma
