Song sheet and instrument

9. Music: humming to your own tune.

What kind of music moves you? Leave behind your favorite CD, a song that makes you laugh, a ballad with beautiful lyrics that makes you cry, or the first record you bought from the "5 and Dime" when you were 13 years old. If you're a musician, include sheet music for a song your child can learn to play, or perhaps a song that you wrote yourself.
