Tomorrow my 2nd daughter Sarah (16 yrs) will be going to a concert by Backstreet Boys. It will be her first ever visit to a concert and I'm so happy for her. During the past 2 months she had been printing their song lyrics and playing them on her guitar and I was really proud of her for picking up the guitar lesson where I left off after teaching her a few strumming. My, she has the fire burning in her cos she persisted and learnt by herself.
Both my daughters have been taking up piano lessons, got through Grade 2 and this year preparing for Grade 4 exams. Now Sarah is improving in her guitar. Both girls love to sing but will never sing in our presence. I know they have good vocals and they can detect if someone goes out of tune or pitch. Once we were gathered in a circle with my in-laws during an occasion and each one in turn has to contribute a song or at least a verse of any song. My wife and I had a shock when my elder daughter (Rachel, 17) sang a number from Alicia Keys just like her! After that, never heard her sing except when I pressed my ear against her door listening in to her singing, in private, some of Avril Lavigne's songs. I know it's bad of me to do that but that's the only chance I can hear her singing!
Sarah wants to play drums too, maybe I'll let her, later. Me, just want to learn how to play lead guitar but my fingers' stiff!

Wow, it is great that you and your daughters play music instruments and sing. No music talent in my family, we only love to listen to it.I love Avril Lavigne's old gospel "Two Rivers"

My daughter knows who sings what and keeps up to date with the latest song release. Now I'll ask her for "Two Rivers" - don't think I've heard of it..
