Kindermusik

For the past five weeks, Jack and I have been going to a music class at my friend Anna's house on Tuesdays. She's getting her certification to teach Kindermusik and we helped her earn her hours. She was fantastic, by the way! I have to admit that I was a little skeptical at first. I mean, what can a 6 month old actually DO in a music class?

Five weeks ago, the first class began and Jack was totally into all the other babies in the class. The music - not so much. I was watching him intently and waiting for the music to do something magical to him. I wasn't sure what, but I've always heard that music is a great developmental tool. There was a lot of playing going on and when we left the first class, we were given a cd of all the songs. I made it a point to play several of the songs on a regular basis and by the very next day, he was definitely catching on to the songs. So, I was beginning to believe there was something to this music thing.

Fast forward to the final class. Jack has a crush on a classmate, Addison. He's SUPER excited every time we walk into Ms. Anna's house, he's more social, thrilled about the music and I feel certain he knows more about steady beats, rhythm, voice, etc. It can happen, right?

Anyhoo.... we were sad to see the fifth week come to an end. It really is a great program and we're thankful we were able to participate.
