tickling the ivories

often when lilyanna walks by the piano and it's open, she reaches up for a few notes. a few days ago she sat down to play.

 

i want lilyanna to be musical, if she so desires in a few years. she will choose her instrument. i think it's important to let children study what interests them. i think the guitar would be great, but if she wants to learn piano, then so be it. violin? sure. whatever she is interested in learning and whatever she can be self motivated by. it would be so annoying to have to nag her to practise and to drag her kicking and screaming to lessons over an instrument i chose for her. hopefully she will find an instrument to love one day.
