Let's make some noise!


Yesterday T and I went to a place where children can play all sorts of different insturments.  We have been there a few times before and are going to start going more often.  It costs $5.00 for one hour of play time.  The instructor is very nice and really interactive with the kids.  T is always really shy around him at first but then warms up.

I assumed that T would mostly play with the guitar yesterday.  He dabbled a little with the various guitars, piano, and keyboard, but he actually spent most of the hour playing the drums!!  The instructor showed T some patterns, such as several bangs on the snare drum, one bang on the cymbal, and T was able to follow.  He even kept up as the patterns got more and more difficult!

T is very interested in music, and I really want to be sure to encourage participation in activities that he loves!!!
