Music Exploration 14 – Easy listening and folk
I knew something had slipped my mind the last couple of days. Â Yes, my Music Exploration with children post and linky. Â I had it in my diary, but other things cropped, up so we’re a couple of days late.
This month we’ve had a lot of musical things, listening, dancing and playing. Â Here’s the snapshot for the last month where we:
Played
The piano. Â I’m planning a full post on this but we finally (after about 12 years) have my piano in our house. Â The OH’s refused to have it here for years, but my mum’s house has sold (assuming it all goes through), so the piano was moved. Â And it’s still here and not chopped up for firewood.
N is loving having it here, although he doesn’t seem to like me playing it. Â I can only play it under his conditions and timings. Â I’ll have to work on that one.
Listened and watched
The morris dancers and their musicians at Sulgrave Manor’s May Day celebrations. Â N was quite taken with the music and dancing, as were the other children we were sitting with, but I can’t say the parents were that excited about that style of music.
Listened
To easy listening via an Andy Williams compilation CS in the car.  I quite like a bit of an Andy Williams sing along, but it didn’t go down well with N.  I think we need to start playing more CDs  or my ipod in the car, because N never gets to know any songs because listening to the radio means he only get to hear tracks once or maybe twice so they don’t sink in.
Dancing
At nursery. Â I have no idea what he’s been dancing to, or how. Â But I do get worried when people at nursery mention N’s been dancing and doing some interesting moves. Â His dad teaches him inappropriate moves after his bath, so I’m just hoping that N doesn’t do them when he hasn’t got a prompt from his dad!
If you’ve been enjoying music with your children, then do come and link up your post. Â Anything music and kids oriented goes.
I’m so jealous that you have a piano – our little one would love that! I love this idea of chronicling what music your son is getting involved with as I think it is so important and not to mention adorable watching them bust their own dance moves.
I am glad you have your piano in the house. I would love to be able to play an instrument. Thanks so much for linking up to #TheList x
I love what you have been doing with them!x
Oh this sounds a great post idea!!! I actually have a music blog at school so if I do anything in particular, I will try to link up to share ideas,if that is ok? I will also try to visit to gain a few ideas!x
Yes, do link up if you have any. I’m always on the look out for ideas, as are my readers.
