Yesterday we had our first music class for Makenna.  It is at a café that we normally go to for our “Moms and Babies” meet ups, which is a great place that has a play room full of toys and books and they also have classes for kids including painting and story time.

The class was a half hour and there were 4 other kids with us.  They started off singing a French song and then singing the song while holding hands and walking in a circle.  Then each child got to pick an instrument to play with for a little while.  The teacher then took out bells and had each child play their bell.  After they put the instruments away, the children had a chance to play the keyboard.  Makenna loved it and actually did really well playing with both hands!  Next was taking turns playing drums.  Lastly, the teacher took out a couple stuffed animals that made animal sounds.

Makenna really enjoyed the class and it’s a great way for her to start learning how to take turns and listen to instructions (and also hear and learn French!)
