Chase's Music Class

Chase took a music class at Turtle Bay Music School, where I teach cello lessons, this summer.  It was a 6 week intro to music specifically for little ones, taught by really fun teachers.  I had been wanting to put Chase in this class for awhile but decided to wait until I had a little more flexibility to get him to the city.  He seemed to really like the class!  He talks about his music class, the different songs, and all the instruments all the tiem.  My favorite is hearing him say, "I want to play the glockenspiel."

Another day with the glockenspiel

Learning about quarter notes (walking notes) with Shakers

Playing the big drums and bouncing frogs off them

Helping roll the drums back into the closet.
Chase was a great helper -- always put all the instruments away.

Listening to Miss Patty

His favorite -- listening to the shells.
He would ask for this every week!

Making a "Shell Band" - Chase was the drummer this time

On the last day, Marcus was able to watch the end of class through the window.  He got a couple pictures of Chase.

I'm really glad we were able to put him in this class - it was fun to watch him learn about music and figure out how to pay attention for more than five minutes at a time!  Hopefully he'll get to do another class soon!
