Both of my parents are actually music teachers.

Both of my parents were musicians.

My mum was a music teacher. I've got three sisters, and we all played instruments when we were kids.

I grew up singing. My mother was a music teacher.

Our parents were musicians.

Both of my mom's parents were music teachers, so I got a lot of knowledge about everything from classical music to jazz to musicals.

About 13-14 years ago, I went back to my alma mater, Fairfax High School, and ran into the music teacher. She invited me to come speak to the kids about the viability of a music career. When I went into the room where I used to play every day in a big orchestra, they had nothing!

My parents discussed singing every night over the dinner table; I had a tremendous music education.

I was crazy for music as a high school kid and a college kid.

My father, I think he played percussion in high school. My mother played piano when she was very young, but only for a brief while. I don't think she had a great teacher. In any case, neither of them were really into music at a young age.
