You Thought the Cello Couldn’t Rock? Think Again.

2Cellos is a duo that does a lot of contemporary covers.  They also have quite a sense of humor.  I love the way this video shows all of the period costumes, and the way it morphs from classical style into rock.  For all the kids that thought stringed instruments couldn’t rock, here ya go.  🙂

 

**If you don’t rock-n-roll at your house, this one might not be for you.  Preview or skip if you’re unsure.

Musical Monday: How Playing an Instrument Benefits Your Brain

Did you grow up playing an instrument?  I played cello for a few years, my sister played piano, and my brother played the saxophone.  So far a few of my children have taken up instruments.  My oldest son plays guitar and my daughter plays clarinet.  My other children haven’t yet been interested in playing a musical instrument, but this video has me thinking that maybe I should at least nudge them into something for at least a trial period.  I think guitar might be popular for four guys, don’t you?

 

Do your children play any instruments?  Do they enjoy it?  Do you find it difficult to get them to practice?

This video is really interesting.  The human brain is so amazingly powerful and interconnected!
