I've known a number of family bands, some members quite well. The professional ones I've found to be quite odd in some respect. I've known two where I felt the parents were making a living off the kids. I knew one or both parents well, but not the kids.
I currently teach 4 kids who are in two amateur family bands. They love the music, have great fun while playing and it’s a thing that lets the family have a lot of fun together. I'm all for that. The kids practice because they like to. I have seen the opposite where the kids want nothing to do with the music and the adults force them to play. In the worst case I’ve seen, the oldest boy left home at 17, has never played music since and has not talked to his father since. Very sad. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
