Bringing up a pianist or musician?

I had no chance as a child to learn playing the piano, I hope Kieran does. (Photo on left was taken on 25 Mar 06, his mini concert at Yamaha's Little Notes graduation)

Some said to nurture the interest, I should bring him to classical concerts. There are a few coming but all for above 6 years old - The Fairy's Kiss featuring Min Lee, violinist, et al; MOZARTPlus - Mozartiana by 2 pianists who are twin sisters and SSO Casual Concert. Guess I can only bring him to such when he's around 6. Till then, we shall settle for the "SSO Babies Proms".

We first brought Kieran to Babies Proms last December to let him experience what a symphony is like, and we will bring him and Raeyen this year (1-2 Dec).

We hope our little ways will help in nurturing and bringing up a pianist or musician? Whatever Kieran will become, as long as he is happy.

"Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music." Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
