Liam has a trumpet!

 Well, technically he is renting it from school. It is very shiny. And extremely loud. 

This is a rather sudden development. He never showed much interest in music as a child (unlike Ash who has been learning various instruments throughout primary school). Then last year he decided to teach himself guitar (via YouTube). And now he has signed up for instrumental music lessons at school. Learning the trumpet. Apparently he wanted to learn the saxophone, but when he tried out for the classes they said he would be better at trumpet. Which is odd because playing the trumpet requires a bit of a trick (you can't just blow into them), but it seems he has the knack.

Although brass will generally ruin you for anything with a reed I've found.

I imagine so - it's quite a different technique. He seems to be a bit of a natural brass player though - I know the few times I have had a go with a trumpet I've never managed to get much out of it. He seems rather taken with the trumpet though, so he's not missing the saxophone too much.

And it could have been worse. He might have learned the Scottish bagpipes...

How's everyone else enjoying his trumpet practise in the house?

Oh we are just delighted :-) Especially Erin, whose room is closest to his.
