K's been enjoying my Let's Play Music classes for the past two years. She's learned so much about music! It's been great fun to watch her learn and grow -- she has great rhythm, she sings on pitch, she accompanies her singing on the piano, and she's getting a fabulous theory foundation. I love sharing music with her -- teaching my kids about the things I love is one of the great perks of parenting. :) We practiced every day together for about 15 minutes, and it was so good for both of us - just that little bit of one-on-one time helped K feel so important.
This video is two little bits from our Spring Recital. I kind of unintentionally sabotaged my 'camera man' - my very supportive hsuband. :\ I forgot to charge the digital camera battery, so all we had was the video camera. He got that set up on the tripod, but every time I moved around during the presentation he'd try to adjust while chasing our very active and busy 3 year old. Anyway, it was a little difficult. I'm going to try to catch Katie playing here at home sometime soon so you can enjoy her mad skillz. :) In the meantime, here's a song about intervals - aka 'Turtle Shells' (you get to see her cute face, if not her fantastic fingers), and a little clip of our classical music puppet show - 'The Pirate Ship.'

This is so incredibly cute I can hardly stand it! I'm very impressed with K and you both!
I wish I lived by you so I could sign Brinely up for your class! It looks like so much fun and you do a great job!
She is beautiful. So when did music classes become fun? :)
We want you to live here! You are so talented. What a cute class!
Music class became fun when I started helping K practice consistently. :) She wasn't enjoying it so much when she felt stupid.... But once she was as-good-or-better than the rest of the kids, she loved it! Amazing the way peer pressure works on even a 5 year old!
That's beyond cute!!! Thanks for posting this video! As everyone else, I wish we lived closer to you guys.
So cute! But why on earth didn't you have a chair to sit on miss pregnant!
I just have to reciprocate what other out-of-town friends are saying...I wish I could sign my boys up in your class! That awesome that they are enjoying music and learning theory at such a young age. Colden sometimes enjoys playing "chopsticks" and the knuckle song. Not too bad for a 3 year old.
That is so cute. You are amazing Tara! I love seeing peoples talent with music. It is awesome what you can teach a child to do at such a young age. They are so capable of so much more than what we sometimes give them credit for.
It was so great to be able to see you. You have a wonderful family! Our kids had so much fun together. Thank you for letting us all come into your home.
You are so amazing Tara!!!
Tara! Wow, I can't believe how beautiful K is! And she obviously has inherited your wonderful talent! She was so cute! Man I miss you! When are you due? Boy or Girl? Love ya!
