Music Together

Lucienne loves music and has figured out how to get music out of all our electronics, so I signed her up for a weekly class called Music Together. We have a CD of songs from the class that we listen to at home and in the car. She especially likes, She's Comin' Round the Mountain which she enthusiastically adds a whistle pull motion and "Choo, choo." In fact she made the connection when we took the train to London yesterday. I told her we were going to ride on a train, and at the station when she saw it she said,"Choo, choo". The parents and kids all join in together with routines for each song. The teacher, Mariëtte has many props like egg shakers, scarves, and sleigh bells. A big treat was when Papa Dan visited us he came to class and sang and danced along with us. It's obvious that the musical instruments portion of the class is Lucienne's favorite. She doesn't do much singing yet, but moves easily to the music. In fact any time she hears music she starts dancing. A couple other CDs she likes are Catch the Moon by Elizabeth Mitchell and Lisa Loeb and Sing-a-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George by Jack Johnson.
