Summer activities

Last night we took the kids to the Drum and Bugle Corps show at Spain Park High School. I enjoyed getting to visit with friends from high school and college who are now music educators! The kids were a little lively but paid attention a lot longer than I expected. We ended up taking them off to the side to let them run and dance to the music. Young children just can't be expected to sit still and watch something three hours! They need to move around to learn and absorb what is going on around them. It was fun! I will try to post events like that take place around town on my blog and my studio calendar. Any amount of music that a child can be exposed to during the early years becomes a part of him in some way. That is why it is so important to make these first exposures, the best experiences possible.
