I don't know how many of you know this (don't know if I've ever mentioned it before), but when I was in high school I was in the marching band and concert/symphonic band. Not just any marching band, the marching band. I'm a nerd, I know. I started playing clarinet when I was in 4th grade and then started playing bassoon in my sophomore year of high school. I was also in the pit during marching season. Multi-talented? Sure.
This is a video from my senior year. We won Nationals that year.
I told you that to tell you this. Music is, obviously, something I'm passionate about. I love all kinds and hope to pass this appreciation on to my kids. We watch Fantasia 2000 a lot in our house, it has several of my favorite songs (Rhapsody in Blue, Pines of Rome, Firebird Suite to name a few) and is not as scary as the original Fantasia. Plus, The Sorcerer's Apprentice has a killer bassoon solo, but I digress. I'm also a big art fan. I love classic pieces, mainly baroque and rococo (Caravaggio is a personal fave!). This is also something I plan to pass on to my kids.
I cannot tell you how excited I was when I found Little Einstein's. This show pairs a classic artist with a classic composer in every episode. Plus, my kids love it! My parents just brought down a few of the DVD's for the kids and one is Firebird Rescue. I cannot tell you how happy I was when I found out the first episode on the DVD features Firebird Suite. I am so thankful that a show like this exists and can help me instill a love of the arts with my kids.
What about you? What passion of yours do you hope to share with your kids?
