Practice, practice, practice.

I conducted a practice class for Kindermusik last week. It was a lot of fun! I saw an active toddler learn to relax to music. I heard another toddler echo my vocal play exercise. They all loved the instruments! There was a 3 year old boy who wanted to just go nuts with the music. I was so impressed with how he calmed himself down to move with the music along with the other kids. The older kids were like little helpers and helped teach the younger kids. I could not believe how well all of them listened and sang along! And the best part is how the songs stuck with them even after they left the class. It was awesome!

I've noticed with my own kids how much they have changed since I've begun to practice my Kindermusik with them. My 21 month old is starting to sing songs and make sentences. After doing active listening so many times, he has begun to ask questions about all the sounds around him. My 3 1/2 yr old has also been singing and making up songs. I have been amazed at how my 3 1/2 year old has been learning the Kindermusik songs! They have both been very interested in instruments! They have helped me so much with my class!
