First, Peter found a keyboard we had gathering dust in mom and dad's closet. He drug it out of the closet, climbed on our bed, and started banging away on it. John tried to teach him how to play notes and make a song.
Peter had a ball he was playing with too and thought it would sound great if the ball hit the keys.
Second, we went to a Kindermusik demonstration class at the library. It was lots of fun. Peter got to play with maracas and drumsticks.
He learned how to shake things fast and shake things slow.
Mom had fun making music with Peter too!
Then on Friday we had another music class with our mommy group. Since John was off work he was able to come and help Peter bang away on the drums.
At one point the instructor started playing a violin. Peter thought that was super cool! She got up and started to walk around the room playing a lullaby and Peter followed her in a trance.
One of Peter's favorite things was when she dumped out a huge bag of scarves for the kids to wave around. Peter ran right up to them and laid down in the middle of the pile then started swimming in all the silk. He then proceeded to get up and run around trying to put scarves on mom and dad's head to play peek-a-boo.
Peter got a great introduction to music this week. He was feeling the beat pretty well and pounding on the drum in rhythm. I even caught him walking on the beat during dance times. I hope my families musical talent will be handed down to him!
