Music streaming through your tv with Electric Jukebox
We love music in our house. We might not agree all the time on what to play, but all of us enjoy listening to it. The OH and N love to rock (loudly and in the dark) while watching bands…

How to introduce kids to musical instruments with pBuzz
N loves music. He’s getting to the stage though, where he wants to make more of it and do it his own way. Whether that be blasting rock out through the tv or CD player, or tinkering on the piano….
The psychology of music while driving with kids
Music plays a big part in my life (when younger through playing musical instruments in wind bands, music school, orchestras and swing bands), now mostly through continuing my love a dance. But there’s not a day goes by without me…
Music Exploration 23 – Young musician of the year
And, again I’m late with our Music Exploration post this month. Maybe I should change the date?! Or not. Anyway, this month has been an interesting mish mash music wise, but largely it’s been focused on learning instruments and the…
Top 10 driving songs – my new car playlist
If you follow me on social media, you may have heard about the fun of getting my new car. From ‘interesting’ experiences with salesmen to picking up the car and being unable to pay for fuel thanks to Visa card…

N is obsessed with boxes as you may have seen from various photos on this blog over time.  But he’s got quite partial to junk modelling as well. I don’t get many drawings home from school, but I get a…
Music Exploration month 18 – drumming
We’ve been a bit rubbish recently listening to music. After the Paddington Concert last month, N’s still just been obsessed with rock music, although there’s been some other music floating round. Here’s what we’ve been doing musically this month. Listened…
Paddington’s First Concert with City of London Sinfonia
I love to go to the theatre and concerts but haven’t been to many since having N. I’ve been aiming to get him to appreciate and enjoy music (other than AC DC which still seems to be his first love,…
