Some of the greatest musicians have had a musical lineage behind them- J.S.Bach, Beethoven, Mozart...to name a few. Whereas some like Handel, Schumann and Tchaikovsky showed original precocity for music.

None of my parents are musicians or play any instrument but both show a keen interest in music, especially my father. What about you?
Rupayan.

my parents cudn't play even if they wanted 2 lol

there is no other musician or like minded person in my family except me. I'm a bit of a rogue when it comes to it. perhaps i was the milk mans?? lol

The whole of my father's side of the family are musicians and most of my mother's side too... we're a weird bunch

My immediate family don't play anything but I do have relatives a couple of generations back.

There is a music shop in Ireland Co Clare which is owned by my relatives somewhere down the line.

i'm alone....none of my parents are musical...plus they don't play any instruments....

Noone in my family plays music instruments...
they weren't that rich when they were young.

I ven tried to encourage my brother...but he hates it!

I'm the only one who loves it so far
and my cousin, who's teaching in a music college now

it's just my brother and me in our family...

not at all..... None of my family members plays or loves classical music let alone play the instrument.

I got conned!! I was told i could quit when i turned GRADE 8.... i was told this when i started... when i was four... my mother's side... EVERYONE's a muso.... sooo competitive >< i hate it!!... I just got my grade 8 today and now i'm getting conned into doing dipABRSM... i just want to play for myself!!... not for my family T_T...

but i still love piano... i wanna play what i wanna play.... good luck to anyone who has exams...! ^^

My dad is really into music, and he has an amazing sense of rhythem, I guess thats where I get it from.

I couldn't vote in this poll! Because the only music in my blood was my grandads father... and that wasn't an option

none of my family members play any instrument.only me, my mom only know a little little bit of organ.i was the only one who plays musical instrument in the family.and they dun understand any words of my theory.hahaha

nobody in my family plays a musical instrument (seriously), though my dad could play abit of harmonica and my mum abit of keyboard. And I think the rest of my family members dislike classical music, coz they would be too happy if i stop playing the piano! haha.. and my mum is slightly tone deaf and sings like a robot!

Glad to see I'm not the only one then!

my mum used to try to paly guitar and my cousin did grade 2 piano and grade 4 flute but didnt really like it, so really its just ME!!

i tried to teach my parents to play the piano but it was unsuccessful.....certainly not a drop of musicalilty in their veins....

well i think i probably inherited the bit of musicality that i've got from my great uncle because from what i've been told (he died before i was born) he was an absolutely brilliant musician. However, no one else in my family is musically inclined in any way really lol, my mum thinks she is a good singer but she's absolutely awful and my dad hates music!!!

I1m alone... none of my fam can play any instrument...even my father can`t enjoy music!!! but they give me chance to learn how to play piano...
