Sounds like a suitable team-up to me...and your offspring is at least
interested in music...unlike my 9 year-old son who hears songs and relegates
them to wallpaper during his video games. Though, he loves orchestral
soundtracks in movies (particularly Howard Shore and some John
Williams...very bizarre).
My daughter just passed her Grade 6 Royal Conservatory Exam for piano,
writes her own songs, does a CD worth of cover tunes to giveaway as Xmas
gifts every year and sings pretty good (beyond the Hilary and High School
Musical genres too). My sister-in-law is her vocal coach. She has been
steering my daughter toward pop and classic rock music and away from
anything remotely "new R & B or hip-hop". Which has made it tough on my
daughter at school because her friends spend their time listening to
everything else but....
My wife and I rarely ever see eye-to-eye on music. Like her sister (and her
equally musically gifted country singing brother), she's a music snob. She
likes what she likes and just when you think you've nailed down her taste by
a selection of music she's shuffling on her discman, she'll completely
dismiss a similar sounding artist for one reason or the other.
But even at 43 years of age she still digs NEW music....her favourite acts
being Finger Eleven and The Trews right now. She's going to England to see
the Trews at the end of this month. I don't care if this is music I don't
personally have a passion for, I think it's healthy that she hasn't closed
up shop and decided to give up on anything new. In fact, I rarely get access
to the CD player in the van as she's always got a batch of burned discs to
foist on me during our adventures on the road.
I think I'll keep her.
