Thomas and some big brass, age 13 2014

Thomas is a budding musician
I often wondered what my youngest son would like to do as he started to find his passion.  Not surprisingly he has quite literally submerged himself into music.  I remember playing the flute at that age and it was the one thing that I was really good at.  It was also a place where I could lose myself in the music.

This is Thomas, as the video shows, he's pretty versatile.  This mother is very proud of her children, and especially happy that they have a love for creativity in music.  I am not kidding when I say that this summer Thomas will be playing his main instrument, Baritone Sax, but in addition learning trombone, bass clarinet, tuba, and baritone horn.  Sarah found her passion in strings, she's a viola player.  She also sings, and plays the key board and is learning guitar.

Sometimes on a nice day, if you are walking down the very wooded Bennetts Bridge Road, you may just hear the sounds of brass as Thomas practices outside.  He is a musician, smart, creative, and I love it.

Daniel watches his siblings, older and younger, and listens.  I am not sure precisely what type of music he likes the best, but he is fascinate by the different sights and sounds.  And sometimes, at a show, or a concert he will just find the ceiling vents and lights more interesting.
