It is interesting watching my son develop as a high schooler. He has enjoyed things he’s doing, and has even done something I didn’t expect in marching band – he plays the synthesizer.
He knows one of the band directors from last year, and he asked him if he’d be interested in doing the synthesizer. I found that to be interesting and of course encouraged it. He plays the trombone in the stands and the synthesizer (to help with low brass sounds) on the field.
He told me he had been interested in synthesizer so I am glad this all worked out for him. It’s just like a piano keyboard (from what he said), but with different sounds. He took my keyboard I have from when I was taking piano lessons in grad school and tried out the music. He got it and is now practicing synthesizer at school. So much fun!
I am proud of him doing things he loves and pursuing these things on his own. ❤️❤️
Fun fact: in middle school he was able to play the six pan steel drum as part of a steel drum band even performed at Miller Outdoor Theater!
