Music

A few years ago, a friend told us about Children's Music Academy. I was a little nervous about the 3.5 year commitment to the program (it's not a contract, just a suggestion that they complete the program) but I wanted to get our oldest dd started in music.

It has been a great experience! Not only do they learn how to read music and play piano, but they sing, learn rhythm, play as an ensemble, and ear train. As parents, we are required to attend every class with our children so that we can actively participate in class and at home.

It's not inexpensive, but the education for us both has been well worth the money. After 2 years of this program I can play basic songs on the piano, which is a huge bonus in the program. I've always wanted to play piano and I'm having such fun with this program.

Our four year old is now in the program. She's been asking for the last year when she will get to start. Daddy is taking her to that class and they are both really enjoying it!

Here are a few videos of Maisie:



This is the song she's working on:

"An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't." -- Anatole France
"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think." -- Anne Sullivan
