The Musical Journey Begins

I get so excited and so happy when I see J climbing up to the keyboard by herself or singing along to one of Beth's Yamaha DVDs.

She knows the lyrics to many of the songs, can identify the song the moment she hears the opening chords or sees the introductory image come on, can say do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti, tries to guess the notes and chords that the presenter asks, and just demonstrates so much enthusiasm for music that I think she's ripe to join Yamaha when she turns 3 next year.

I have a feeling music is J's primary language of communication.

She responds very well to any kind of music. Turn on the radio and she will bounce along to the rhythm. Play a Fairies video and she will try to copy the dance moves and the singing.

It's an absolute joy to watch her.
