My folks only sang a bit - Dad was partially tone-deaf as a result of a high fever as a kid damaging his ears. But he could be really enthusiastic when he wanted to be (shudder!).

However they insisted my sibs and I learn music, so we had lessons on our instruments, took piano, sang in church choir all thru our school years. I was the only one who went on for a while as a paid musician. My brother who was very competitive learned to be excellent on the cello and hated every minute of it! My sisters still play piano and concert harp. Me, just playing evrything I get my hands on and love it.
