"Get You Insturments and Play Along!"

Families sang, drummed and played along to the Bongos Collection this fall. The children really enjoyed playing together on the large gathering drums, but their favorite activity was the jam session at the end of class.

The "Hello" song remains the all-time favorite. In fact Max's mom reported that one morning she found him lining up all his stuffed animals and singing the "Hello" song to them. When she asked what he was doing, he told her he was having music class! "See How I'm Jumping" was also a favorite, especially for the kids in the morning class! Lilly's favorite song ("On Top of Spaghetti") was not part of the collection, but we always include whatever song a child loves. Skyler is especially fond of "See the Ponies Galloping". She dressed as as cowgirl for Halloween, so we just had to sing her favorite! Noel and his sister Veronica loved Bongos so much that they wore out one of their cds!

It was heartwarming to see several of the children develop friendships in class. In fact for Natalia, one of the biggest reason she loved going to class was seeing her new friend Lynsey!

Winter semester begins January 9th. Class times are 9:30, 10:30, 4:45 and 5:45 on Mondays. Contact me at tunesntales@hotmail.com for more information.
