Dancing to the Music
Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 27 March 2008 in People & Portrait.
Ian loves dancing to the music.When i play some kids' songs on the radio,he bends his knees and back,nods his head and starts clapping.I should have taken a video of him dancing but didnt manage to do it in time.Caleb loves music too and seems to have a keen sense of rhythm.I am thinking of exposing them to musical instruments and even kids' hip hop but found out from a friend that she sends her 4 year old to a music school at United Square to learn piano for about $70 an hour.That is too steep for our household i guess,so i think i'll teach him the piano and guitar myself and if they like it,we can consider sending them for more economical music schools when they are older.Only if they like it.

Such fun and laughter images. Kids really have a great time dancing and music lessons are a good idea.

Isn't it super cute to see little kids dancing to the music? :-) Jamie likes to shake his butt and bounce too when he hears music with good beat... But talking about music lessons.. I hated mine! haha.. not sure if I'll be sending my kids to lessons. hehe..

Kids are just so natural when it comes to dancing. Maybe it's because they are free from inhibitions...
I've been trying to get Robyn to listen to pop music too...then she won't be fighting for the radio when we're in the car. :p

Very wise. Sending a child of 4 to expensive music lessons (or any music lessons) sounds a bit over the edge, unless that child is a prodigy -- which many parents delude themselves into thinking, but few children really are (and that's ok).

Yeah - it is GREAT to expose kids to musical instruments, art or sports. It helps them have something to do with their extra time keeping them out of trouble because they are board.

hey mommy tyan - how are you? it's been awhile...
hope this visit finds you and your fmaily doig fine
great idea to teach your kids piano and guitar!
does law play an instrument too? if so then you guys can start a family band! and even if law doesn't play an instrument, he can always be the lead singer!!! ian could double up as a backup dancer-singer :)

What a little cutie!!! I think it's awesome that you can teach your little ones musical instruments Tyan! Ethan goes for piano lessons and Connor is going to start taking guitar lessons in August. Music is wonderful for kids to learn. Great shots of your little dancer here!

Feed them enough music as you can m'lady 'cos kids pick up the rhythms so early and dance is a great fun way too keep them fit and healthy,and also helps with their coordination..I know..I was a kid once..*-))..

For the little ones, playing music for them, age appropriate and other positive musical forms, is what can capture their imaginations and build their rhythms. Even buying or making them little toy instruments to play alone with the music in their own way is fine. Watch and listen, see if this child is ready for the next levels; don't just cart him or her off to the music lesson factory (or, fill in the blank for sports, reading, memory or whatever). Resist the parental peer pressure to force your children into the prevailing mode; let them be children while they are children.
