Music is a HUGE thing in my family. My mom's cousin was a singer and she sang at our wedding, my mom played the piano, I majored in music though I don't really use my degree in my work but I still sing, then there's this cousin...well, it's my cousin's daughter, so like...a cousin once removed or something, she's the casting directer and I guess Disney asked specifically for HER. And she's also casting a Jimmy Buffett musical and Charlie and the Chocolate factory the musical (or maybe that one's finished? I don't remember). Then on my dad's side, my dad can't carry a tune in a basket, but his dad played the violin and some of the cousins play piano. Now my daughter is into musicals. She got advice to move up to the production group this year, but she's decided to take a year off because she was feeling too pressured and wants a year with no extra-curriculars, but she's only 10 and has a great little voice, so I wouldn't be surprised if she does something with music later, too. It runs in the family.
