Thursday Theater – Music Makers

A quick bit of Thursday Theater today, in between flashback posts.  Thursday Theater will likely be on hiatus for the next couple of weeks while we’re away, but keep those video cameras out at the ready!

As you know, we have taken some Music Together classes that the kids have really enjoyed.  They love the songs and request them by name, and have even started to sing along to some of their favorites.  During the weeks upon weeks of rain, at a loss for activities, I dug my guitar out of a closet, tuned it up, and let the kids strum on it just like they loved to do in Music class.  Plus, the Music Together literature includes chords and musical notation for all of the songs, so I tried to remember the three or four chords I used to know in another life.  Discovered we can do a little sing-along with the Me/You/We song, which the kids now request ad nauseum.  Today, I got them to do a bit on their own.

Plus, as proof that I wasn’t making it up the other day, I got Rebecca to sing almost the entire alphabet song. When she doesn’t think I’m watching, she’ll mumble it to herself constantly.  When I’ve got the camera on, she wants a little more prompting.

So, excuse the grainy lighting as we were inside on another gray day, and enjoy my not-quite-virtuosos. (And listen for Daniel to chime in at the very end, clearly eavesdropping from the kitchen.)
