After three months traveling, and three months away from music class, it's great to be back at Music Together classes on the South Coast of Massachusetts! This "semester" we are focusing on Bongos, and I feel like the collection features a lot of old-fashioned favorites like "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain" and "Greensleeves." Yet, my 3 year old does not know these are not new songs! It's fun to play Greensleeves on the piano and to act out the parts in "She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain."

 Charlotte started preschool, and I already feel that her unstructured, celebratory time at Music Together has both prepared her for preschool and is a reward for both of us at the end of the work week. 

 I should mention that I brought along my niece this past class, and she hadn't been to class in six months! She just twirled in the center for a bit, but soon caught on, relaxed, and remembered. It's been great to share the music with my sister and niece, and connects us somehow in this otherwise frenetic scheduled world we find ourselves in as adults.
