This morning, Will, Kate, and I went to Abeona House for our first Music Together class! Aimed to kids from newborn to age 5, Music Together works on the belief that all children are musical. The classes work to foster that natural sense of music in young children.
In other words, it’s seriously cool.
Renee, a teacher at Abeona and classically trained vocalist, directs the class. She’s great with the kids and we had a wonderful time. Even Kate seemed to get involved — moving her hands and watching with rapt attention that seemed beyond what an 8 week old should muster.
I also discovered something about Will: he is really shy. Yes, SHY. There were several activities where Will was the only kid clinging to Mommy. But he did begin to open up towards the end and I think after another class or two that will be all over. I know he enjoyed it, though — we sang parts of one of the songs at his naptime.
To all parents: I whole-heartedly endorse the Music Together program for you and your kids!
