Music Together

Sam and I recently started taking a music class for parents and young children. The first week was a "free demo" and we got a 5 song CD to take home and try out after that. He did about as well as he usually did at circle time at ECFE and had a couple of really fun moments, so I decided to take the plunge, pay the $150, and sign up for the eight week course. Monday was the first night of that. He had a pretty good time; a few little meltdowns but nothing too serious, and he really got into a few of the songs and activities. Plus, we got the 25 track CD to bring home. I had to hide his "school" CD that he's been listening to all day every day for the last few weeks, but we've been listening to the Music Together flute CD several times a day for the last few days. I think each of us has favorites. He's not as much a fan of the minor keys in general, and not much a fan at all of the non english songs. He loves playing with the small percussion instruments, and watching the hand movements. He gets a special kick out of vocal sound effects. He loves to dance when asked.

And...I've been sitting on this post for a couple days and have nothing to add at the moment. So there's that.
