The big thing in my family growing up is that everybody had to play a musical instrument. We were like the von Trapps.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My family was all musicians. We jam all the time.
I used to play drums when I was a kid, play the trombone.
I grew up playing classical piano and percussion.
I never played a musical instrument growing up but I knew kids who did and took it very seriously.
I grew up in a house that was always happy, and my family was always music, music. I started playing percussion very young, because I had some uncles who were musicians and all my aunts were singers.
My parents were very musical in the sense that they were, you know, music lovers and avid buyers of records, but none of them actually play an instrument.
Well, my sister played trumpet. Can you imagine having a sister blowing the trumpet around the house, Fred? And my brother, he played piano. Everybody was playing some kind of music, so it was natural for me to get into it.
My mum was a music teacher. I've got three sisters, and we all played instruments when we were kids.
When I was in school, you could pick any instrument you want, and they'd teach you how to play it. That changed my life. I loved playing music in school, and it sent me on my path as a musician.
Nobody played instruments in my family. My father got that bug and said he wants his son to play saxophone.
