Didn't want to scratch up her mandolin

I believe in starting them young like that. I come from a musical family. We put a fiddle in the kids hands as soon as we can talk them in to being still.

Those are good starter models.

That is awesome mate. Like OntheLasGallinas, I too believe in starting kids early on music if they are so inclined. Keep her going, looks like she will be a real little heartbreaker in looks and style.

Only problem I have is I can only play the bagpipes and they are not a kids' instrument, and they are terribly bloody loud. Laughing

Cheers, Vince

Yes I think they should be started young. She goes to the jam sessions with us , she gets up and sings and does well. Has good metter.
I didn't come from a musical family, self taught (guitar, mandolin & bass guitar). the youngest son plays guitar. and bass guitar.

I have havd the little one out and shooting and she does pretty good.

Vince,

I heard that the bagpipes are the hardest instrument there is to learn how to play.

I've never touched one, but would love to try my hand at it. With stringed instruments, I can figure it out in a few minutes. I can probably play a barbed wire fence if the wires were tight enough, but I don't have any experience with wind or instruments.

How did you pick that up?

The bagpipes are supposedly the second hardest to learn. They say that the Indian Sitar is the hardest.

I started when I was 10 yr old and have been practicing ever since. I used to be quite a reasonable player, but age is starting to catch up to me along with a bit of arthritis in the fingers. Below is a promo pic from when I used to play with a rock band.

I intend to teach myself to play the guitar just for the heck of it...one day.

Cheers, Vince

my son (at 5 yrs.) thinks he's a great singer....I'm not going to discourage him.

Aren't kids the best!!!! Smile

Well fellers, I have to admit that I can barely play a tune on a radio, much less a musical instrument!

As for a retirement plan, I had hopes that my daughter was going to be a doctor... Guess now I'll just have to work until I die! (She's a medical assistant and loves the job.)
