Luke started a new Kindermusik class last Thursday night. He is the only boy with 2 little girls in a class called Imagine That. It is supposed to incorporate imaginative play with music and a basic intro to rhythm. I was horrified to discover that the take-home curriculum involves a drum. What are they thinking?!
Luke spent nearly the entire class running in circles and tapping his hand on the drum. His rhythm is actually okay for a little guy. The little girls sat quietly in a circle while their mothers just stared at me with polite little smiles. I could tell they were not nearly as impressed with Luke as I am. Ha!
This morning he went with Steve to his rehearsal at church. Steve helps with the worship time during the first service. Luke gets to hang out and "sing", using his favorite orange car as a microphone, while they practice the songs they are going to sing with the congregation. We'll see where this leads...

Sounds like he is really enjoying the class! Maybe he needs that wide range of emotions that he has(joy to anger) for his future creative endeavors!
As a musician...I must say...Music at a young age is so hugely important...it is wonderful that he is being exposed to it so young...good on you!
I have a new feature I am starting over at the nest, please come check it out!
