The Music Place

At Luke's parent/teacher conference back in November his teachers asked us if he was involved in any music-related classes.  They wondered because they have observed in class some strengths of his that might translate well into playing an instrument.  We asked if they had any suggestions for places that exposed kids to music and a variety of instruments.  They recommended The Music Place, so we tried a trial class there this week.

As I said, this was something for Luke, but when we got there and Mia realized that this might be fun she wanted to go as well.  Thankfully, since the class is for 3-5 year olds, they were able to accommodate her.

The class was fun and the kids loved it.  It had lots of instruction at an introductory level on the basics of reading music, and during each class kids get to try a different instrument.  Obviously the week we visited featured the cello.

We did not sign up given that both kids wanted to do it and we are already involved with swimming, dance class, gymnastics, and soon the t-ball season will begin.  However, we will certainly be back once schedules have calmed down a bit.
