Today was babyNOIR's first day at
Music Togehter, and we loooooove it!! Compared to the other baby music classes we took, our teacher
Maureen is better trained to 1) grab and retain babies' and adults attention, 2) break down and explain, 3) project! - sing really, really well and loud, which helps the point 1). The material we received is really good, too. In the CD package they gave us, there are 2 CD's, so we can have one at home and one in the car. How thoughtful!!
We like the songs. They feel
developmentally appropriate for babies with simple clear lyrics and catchy melody line. I especially love the exploration of different types of rhythm - okay, I'm a drummer - there's even a song in 9/8 meter! - These songs are so catchy, baby Kharin already started singing along this afternoon. That was only the 3rd time she heard these songs - once in the class this morning, once at home while she was playing, then she started singing along when I put the CD on in the car. I say they know what they're doing.
We know the benefit of music in our lives. It helps us
develop mathematical skills, and it just makes us happy people. I am really happy to have found a place where my baby can hang with her peers and really get in to music.
