Thank you for the replies. No teacher involved at this point. I could teach them to start with , though I could teach them bad habits too. So, thinking about that.
The money spent vs. the possibility that one or more of the three boys take up an instrument or more than one instrument is a no brainer. I would like to pick the right pieces to start with . I am going to buy a guitar, a snare drum and one of these key boards and see what we do. We may get a trumpet, I played trumpet for a few years and my dabbling in it anew may be constructive towards tease out some commitment. If the kids have some friends who play music that could be a help. Just trying to plant the seed.
Academics are going well, with sports it depends on the child. One has crossed sports off, but is doing very well academically and in intellectual type hobbies, D&D, Magic, chess, robotics, to the extent he has been exposed. I don’t care about sports achievement as much as having the possibility of enjoying sports recreationally now and later in life. Nothing wrong with a sports scholarship but we don’t groom the kids for the possibility like some people do.
