The toddler music class we’re investigating for after the holidays is looking more and more appealing.  They’re a nation wide thing, and I’m hoping that once we have the tour, I’ll be pleased.  She has such a musical lineage; it’s important to me to start her early.  They teach classes for all ages, so the class could grow with her as she gets older.

Her daddy plays the guitar and piano in ways that make me weepy.  The first time my mother heard him play the piano, she decided he was okay to marry ;)  His guitar is beautiful and bittersweet:  it always makes me think of places, as if they describe landscapes.  I’m very proud of him, how musically talented he is.  His brother plays the guitar and bass, too.

My mother plays piano, the cello, and a little guitar, and my brother plays the piano and guitar.  I used to play the cello, but it’s been broken for so long, I don’t know how I would do, anymore.  I can play Ode to Joy on the piano, which is somehow in my mind all I needed to know:  a gal should know how to play one song on the piano, in case 17th century British people come to call :)

In regards to Buttercup, she picks up songs so very quickly.  She knows all the childhood classics, and she’s ready to perform.  When the family was here, I put on some of her favorite songs, and she danced and danced, singing as she went.  When she’s a little older, I want to practice a big performance to do during the holidays.  I have a Sound of Music scene in my head about it :) 

I realized, when my brother was here, he played Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star on the piano, and next birthday party:  I’m getting all my musicians together to perform for the little ones!  I’m very excited about this, and if I have to drag everyone into it kicking and screaming, we are going to have a concert for the babies!
