[quote=Anonymous]I am not musical, but am discovering my daughter has a gift of music. She started playing piano/guitar 1.5 years ago and it is very natural in a crazy way. She has to work for her grades and a lot of the areas in her life, so this is unexpected. It appears to be natural and a true passion where she can't find enough hours to fulfill her internal desires. She now is working with random people at her school and she has created/directed/produced/edited, etc. a classic song where multiple instruments are used and vocals. She is involved in every piece of the process. I do not have any musical abilities. Can someone please tell me how/what I can encourage her to do besides having fun with music? Is there a path for this sort of thing? I mean this in all seriousness. She seems so in control and so aware, and so proactive/professional, etc. She is competent at school and does okay, but she has some sort of talent that I assume should be nurtured. How/what can I do to help? Thanks in advance! from a non-musical mom!! Lastly, I realize it could just be a hobby and not every single thing should be about college, career, etc.  I get that. But, those skills must be transferable. Right? Are there any programs she should explore -- even if she doesn't want a music career?  Looking for any sort of suggestion!! thanks!!![/quote]
