I was greeted by a couple of kids eagerly awaiting music class at the door this Tuesday, and there were too many high fives to count. This energy only got more enthusiastic as the class went on and more kids filtered in, some of whom were new to the program. I made sure there were lots of easy-to-learn songs, and repetition of songs with certain body parts. The kids love Head and Shoulders as a speed-up song, along with The Bicycle Song and Train is A-Comin'. By the time we finished the standing and moving songs, they were able to tame the sometimes explosive energy that accompanies the instrument bag. We finished off with a very pleasant rendition of The Lion Sleeps Tonight, and a rocking Jackson 5's ABC for the parachute.
