Everyone has a talent. Whether it’s reading, playing sports, or dancing everyone has at least one. If you work with that talent for a long time, you can go somewhere with it. My brother did. My brother as you know, Trevor, is gifted with the talent of music. He now plays guitar, bass guitar, piano, alto sax, tenor sax, and trumpet.
Whenever an opportunity came up, Trevor has performed for the ⅞ class many times, and performed several songs. Trevor has only been playing for a little over 2 years, and he already knows roughly 30+ songs, plus several originals. His favourites are from Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Guns’N'Roses and AC/ DC plus many more. He was self-taught and has made it far in the process of learning all that he can. His goal is to compete in the school wide competition of Battle of the Bands.
His dream is to become a music teacher and go on tours around the world. Trevor is in 2 bands (Jazz, Intermediate) at his high school. He is hoping to pull a band together so they can change the history of rock. As he has inspired me to do such things, Trevor is now helping me play the piano and is starting to unleash his lessons online. Below their is a link to Trevor’s lesson for beginner guitar players.
Trevor WILL change the history of rock.
This is a lesson Trevor has unleashed online, rate it well!
This is a great post! And as I managed to meet Trevor here last year I am really glad to see that he is doing awesome things this year and chasing a passion.
Yes, Mr. Fisher!
He loves what he is doing and he will go much farther with it in the future.
Do you play any instruments?
I’m glad that Trevor has found his passion. Its great for all of us to do that. As for instruments – unfortunately I am pretty “unmusical.” I used to play a ukelele when I was a kid, but its been years since I even tried. My wife plays a few different things though and my youngest son just started taking fiddle lessons this year. I love music though. I have a lot of different things in my itunes. Everything from current rock (I like Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, a lot of 80s music from when I was growing up) to all sorts of jazz and blues and classical music. I can listen to almost anything.
Not only is this a well written post, but it’s wonderful to read a sister’s pride in her brother. When you’re up for it, I’d love to hear you play whatever tune you like on the piano! While Trevor’s passion is clearly music, it’s obvious that yours is writing.
Well done, Taylor!
That would be super exciting to get me to play.
However, I don’t deal with audiences too well…
Whenever I see too many eyes staring at me, I always tend to mess up!
I understand you play the piano, is that the only instrument you play? Are there others?
What a truly fantastic post you created on “The Brother that Never Stops Trying.”
I am very proud of both of you two kids, of course as well as your other siblings too. You all are very gifted in each of your own ways.
Thanks for Sharing.
