Creating Your Own Music

I don't know how many time I've actually mentioned here how much I love music.  I am a natural-born music lover.  It's in my blood.  Both of my parents' sides are into music.  That's where I got it from, and why I love it so much.

Anyway, my husband, too loves music.  He may not be into instruments, but his late father was, in fact, the best steel guitar player in Nebraska back in those days.  But when it comes to making his own beat/sound, singing, rapping, among other things, I must say, my husband is pretty good at them!  I love it when he starts composing his own lyrics and creating his own sound, and putting them into a short song.

Honestly, I think if we only have the right instruments in our house, we could probably pull it off.  I'm talking about creating our own music at home.  I came across this classic E Mu online store and saw some stuff that people usually use to mix sounds from different instruments, creating their own music.  That would be awesome, don't you think!?

I already have a guitar.  But, I've been wanting a keyboard as well since I know how to play it, too.  That's one thing I'm planning to invest in - instruments.  I want to introduce them to my kids and see which ones they like, then, we can go from there.  I want to have a house filled with music!  I want my kids to experience the same joy I had while growing up being exposed to music.  I know they will love it, too.  As  a matter of fact, my two boys already know how to move to the beat of the song, and all three of my kids are showing early signs of being a music lover just like me and their Papa.  We will definitely nurture the talents and skills we find in them, but of course, without forcing them.  They have to learn how to love what they have, on their own.
