Music was a central part of my childhood because my mother played organ and piano in the church, and that meant all us kids had to be in the church choir.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up loving music, like, loving it. I was involved in church choir, leading worship and all the choirs in my school - even glee club.
My childhood was limited to mostly gospel music. We didn't have, like, a lot of records in our house, you know. It was like my grandparents who raised me. They were pretty old-fashioned in their religious ways, so it was like church, church, church, school, school, school.
Growing up, music was an important part of my childhood. I see it being just as important in my children and all children's growth and development, and in a parent's connection with their children.
Music was around in my family in two ways. My mother would occasionally sing to me, but I was mostly stimulated by the classical music my father had left behind. I had an ear for music, I suppose, so that's what began my interest in music.
I played piano growing up. I played classical piano since I was 5, and I sang in choirs, and I sang in plays and musicals.
We listened to a lot of drama, adaptations of books, comedy. There was a real love of music expressed in choirs, because you didn't have to have instruments except your voice.
Music was always a big part of my family. Only a few of us had the talent - or the courage - to walk out on a stage.
Music was in the air when I was growing up. My siblings Katy, Dave and Phil were musical; my dad worked in inner-city New York where a musical revolution was taking place - folk music, rock n' roll, gospel music. My sister taught me to sing. My brothers taught me to play.
Playing music was always a part of my life; I don't know anything else.
From an early age, I was infatuated with music. I always loved it and was always dancing or playing something.
