Uh Oh! I'm in trouble

It's a great feeling - my daughter (12 years old) has picked it up as well. We've been working at it every week and she tags along to band practice also.

Oh, and I don't think I have to worry about her developing a thing for Sadowsky - I asked her about that already and she exclaimed, "Do you know how many clothes you can buy for that?!?!" :smug:

Uh-oh; and a redhead! She won't have any trouble finding a band. :D My daughter hadn't even finished her first round of lessons before she was invited into two bands. She stayed with the second one for 7 years, and really propelled the band forward. Good luck to her!
 
A friend of mine (child psychology major and fellow musician) told me that a study showed that children that started to play an instrument before puberty are more likely to stay with it, and excel in math and reading.

I was raised in a family full of educators and can definitely add a +1 to this statement. Every single one of them swears by the studies conducted that attest to this. My mom in particular was involved with a program called Reading Recovery that sometimes uses music to help kids with literacy problems.

Great pics guys. Get those callouses started early:bassist:
 
Told me she was interested in taking lessons. Makes a ole' guy cry! Gonna jump on this while she's eager. :bawl:

Now since she will need a bass for lessons and practice, I think I'll be forced to get that Lakland JO so I can give her the Fender Jazz. :D

Gotta come up with a plan to sell that to the "boss". :hiding:
