[blparent] Music together classes

[tmcgee3917]

Good morning Tara,
I have taken classes like this one that you were speaking of with my children. You are right they are a lot of fun, and the children enjoy them and learn immensely from them. My first piece of advice to you, is to talk to the instructor that teaches the class, explain to her that you'll need some accommodations. What I've done in the past was asking instructor to show me all of the motions to the songs I take the time to get good at them, Before I start the class. I encourage the instructor to be very descriptive in her verbal encouragement to the class, so instead of saying let's make the rainfall, she would say, "lift your hands up over your head and wiggle your fingers, as the rain is falling." It's a super easy thing for them to do and soon it becomes a natural adjustment. I look forward to hearing how the class goes for you and your daughter.

Warmly,
Tracy Boyd

> Dear collective wisdom! Have any of you guys ever taken the music together classes? The music together class is designed for families to help their children from age birth to kindergarten and learn music. Yesterday, we went to a demonstration. The class involves singing, doing actions to the songs, dancing, and a couple of times where you grab either either a Shikhar egg or  A percussion instrument and just go to town! The class seems like a lot of fun! So here are my questions. Number one, how do you guys adopt with the actions? Number two, the class has an app which what you have access to the music. Does anyone know if this app is accessible? Anyway, it seems like a lot of fun. My 2 1/2-year-old daughter likes to observe the situation and then get involved. But she said she enjoyed the class. I think as she continues to go, she will enjoy it even more! Apparently, the classes are in 10 weeks segments. You can take the class  for three years before the same music curriculum
