James' Music Class

Friends of ours here suggested we try out this music class.  This man James travels to different locations around the city and brings lots of instruments with him for the kids to play with and he brings different instruments that he will play during each class.  It's very reasonable compared to most other music classes in the area and the best news of all is that on Thursdays he has a class in the Gleenwood building right across the street in their playroom.  We checked it out today and as you can tell from the pictures below Mikey loved it and was a great participant while Katie was by my side the entire time.  If I tried to sit her by herself she just cried.

Sitting so nice waiting for the class to start.

Mikey did lots of  running, jumping, dancing around.  He really liked music class.

Clapping his shakers together.  That's James in the back.

Time for some bells.  He put them around his arms.

Each instrument James brought out he let the kids get a close up view before he started playing.

Mikey pushed the trumped buttons down while he blew.

Sharing puppets.

Lots of different puppets to play with while we sang The Farmer in the Dell.

This was Katie for the first half of the class.  Hand on belly, thumb in her  mouth and finger up her nose.  Took her a  while to warm up.

A tambourine on his head.

There were lots of kids there ages 3 mos. to 4.  I counted 24 kids!
