Troubled Children

I got up this morning and saw a very disturbing CNN report. A child of 14 arrested for having guns in which his mother bought for him. Why did she not buy him a piano or guitar. I am a baby boomer and it is our fault for not putting our children in music or the performing arts. What is wrong with a small majority of you parents? I know that most of you are good parents but all it takes is a few to kill your child. What do you think needs to happen to this mother?
It comes down to the basics at home is where the children get these problems, bigotry, hate, cheating and lying. What is wrong with you?
I think there should be a mandatory class on behavioral management or music classes to allow the children to release their emotions. What do you think?

A young couple in dier strates.

A young couple goes to the Los Angel es County Fair. Comes up to a booth that is selling pianos and the young man sits down and plays the piano very well. He tells the salesperson that they are married and they just bought a house. They could not really afford it but the salesperson offers them a deal that they can not refuse. Salesperson says to them do you have a hundred dollars? They said yes why, well you can put down the hundred and make $25.00 payments until your money comes in . So they signed the contract and they went off happy and they knew they could handle that agreement. They were planning for their unborne child to be able to play this instrument and the father could teach him or her to play. Well the music store gets a call from the father of the gentleman and tells them that his son is only 17 and not married and that his son stoled the hundred out of his wallet. The father calls the sales person and tells him the story and he said if my son would have just came home and talked to me I could have worked these terms out. But he did not and I said that he just could not reward his son this piano by not doing the right thing. Well maybe the father will realize that his son was just telling him that he needed music.
What would your son or daughter do?

My name is Dave Henson with IFEPA. I saw a remarkable show on music and children that have cancer on the cable channel. Music gave them a will to live and a drive to get well. Doesn’t that tell you something? The idea that children growing up with out music and the lack of culture in their lives just gets me HOT so get started with your children.

Parents why are children getting in trouble? How can you sleep and watch your children go on without music and being able to play. I have sold pianos for 40 years and the main statement that the parents say is I wish my parents would have pushed me. Please do not be that parent and let your children experience the love of music in their lives get on the band wagon and HELP www.ifepa.org
