is music in their genes?

One thing I love about Matt's family is all the musical gifted-ness (is that a word?).  Matt's brother Andy is a worship director at a large evangelical church.  Andy's wife, Kristi, and Matt's sister, Krisanne both have amazing voices.  Matt's mom also loves to sing. 

When it's time for a family birthday and we light the candles and sing Happy Birthday to You....  well, I just try to let my voice blend into the background of all the amazing harmonies coming from the rest of the family clan :) 


I'm hoping that a few of those musical genes got passed on to at least one of our kids.  And maybe they'll start to sprout this fall while we are home and surrounded by all the musicians!


The kids enjoyed a little impromptu piano jam on Sunday afternoon.  It's amazing what six little hands can do to a piano keyboard.   Pure cacophony.  Not crazy cover your ears terrible, just lots of fun from 30 untrained little fingers.

Yes, the music is in the genes. Marrying into the music helps the offspring, even if one doesn't catch the initial DNA. :)
DNA = Definately Not Atonal when one teaches the young ones!
