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!!!
