songwriting, musical instruments

My grandson, DeVon, has been playing in his high school band for the past three years. In fact, he is first chair on the sax.  I was especially proud of his solo this year.  Being his senior year, he has grown so much musically, and when he began songwriting, I was amazed. 

I wrote poetry since I was in grade school, and I am a published poet.  However, this is the only one of my bloodline who appears to be following somewhat in my footsteps.  This is indeed a Grandmother's dream. 

When DeVon started reading sheet music, I couldn't believe how quickly he developed that skill.  Playing musical instruments is not an easy task, and when a young man does so successfully, it is the bonus of the year!  We got him a mp3 jukebox for Christmas, and he has been moving forward ever since.  The songwriting was something I never expected; but, he is doing a great job with it!

Graduation will be soon, and I am planning on getting him a Creative Ventures Music Digital Recording Microphone.  With all his abilities coming to a head, he needs a ways and means to expedite that talent so we may truly see what he's got!
