In my family, it's always been a given that we sing -- and lots of us play instruments, too. Carolynn's real-life counterpart is an outstanding violinist, and she can pick up practically any stringed instrument or woodwind and play it well within a few days. In high school, my brother played the tuba. I personally fell in love with the trombone in first grade, and while I don't practice nearly as often as I used to (in high school, I practiced a half hour to an hour every day), I still love playing regularly.
