Children & Music




Beethoven, Bach and Mozart were my personal heroes as a child piano player. Tonight was a recital by my 13-year-old, who, though he claims to hate being on center stage, played a mean version, not of the classics, but of the theme from "Mission, Impossible."

Afterward, he and his fellow students had to endure a photo session on-stage. I congratulated him for his ability to stay cool. He told me he loves music, and doesn't half mind piano, actually.

Maybe these years of playing a keyboard will help him embrace other instruments?
