Kindermusic

Laura and I had our first Kindermusic experience. We were invited to an open house day at cousin Annie's little class, so we went with the grandparents (here for Easter week). It was no more complicated to lead than a primary class, the songs and tangibles reminiscent of Montissori days, and I left feeling strongly that "I can do that!" That is obviously not what they are aiming for (they'd much rather you pay $200 a month for classes!) but that's what I left thinking!

Here we are with the two little musicians.


So...if I get the courage to start my own little neighborhood music class for 2-year-olds, you know where it started. If Mom can do it, WE can do it!

(Hmm, maybe not as well and not with as much patience, but we can try!)

Verdict: Fun for little ones, excellent for beginning to follow class flow and change focus with verbal cues. Negative: high cost, long way to travel for 30 minutes of classtime. Concluded: can be done at home with a basic plan, a few tangibles (homemade would work well!), and a few friends (with laid-back mothers), and Voila! Kindermusic!
