... off in 45 minutes to attend our first music class together. How psyched am I! The class is based upon the Music Together style/approach of young child music education. Ours is a mixed class, with Twyla mixing it up with kids up to four years old. Lots of clapping, hitting things with sticks, attempts to coordinate the uncoordinatable, and chaotic fun stuff like that. The idea is that, like spoken language, best to just immerse the child in music, in toto, and allow the kid to find music in his or her own way, and have fun in the process. The class provides me a songbook to keep; with songs for voice and piano duets, you can imagine the Dallman household will be a-flutter with new tones (technically, new clothes for timeless tones). Anyway, we are off. Have a great weekend, everyone.
And, by the way, here's honest to goodness proof that POLYSEMY Magazine is a real, in-print thing. Check it out!
