Ruth, we *just* got a ukulele and it’s by far everyone’s favorite. The kids like it for it’s size and we can’t believe how easy it is to play. I’ve been a beginner mandolin player for years now and I find it difficult to play bar chords, but the uke…oh how fun!

Hi :)
I posted a wee while ago about my singing in a group experience, it was so amazing, so I can completely relate to what you say here, especially with your love for and your family music jam sessions. We do the same, except you’ve inspired me to really make it a reggular thing. We use ukelele, our voices and a big african drum – weird combination eh! But it’s fun and that’s the main thing, and yes, everyone is potentially a musician, as anyone can be an artist (^_^) xr. I’m so happy we can share music with our children.

Aw, I love this too! We need to remember this at our house. We lean towards the musical, but never actually all break out the instruments and play together. What fun :) We really are all musicians. Thanks for the reminder :)

I love this! It’s so inspiring to read, because by nature, while we are a family that *loves* music– we don’t really play it– not even just for fun. We have instruments kicking around, and the boys strum and drum now and then, but J and I never get in on the act, I guess out of weird confidence issues– thanks for the reminder to let go and have fun with sound….and the photos are so very beautiful!
