rhythm and music.
from the rhythm and music section of my baby book:
“loves to hear record player going or any music at 15 months.
attempts to dance to it and complains when music stops.”
not one part of this has changed except for my age.

i love that my class
is unaware
that i am not a top notch singer
they are the best audience ever
very non-judgmental and accepting
as i belt out my tunes
and try to get them on board
i often improvise my own lyrics
when i only know part of them
or
think of something i’d like to add
many times accidentally
creating my own key
it’s all about the gusto
and not so much the skill.

soul music.
we stopped to listen to an ensemble of young girls
playing lovely music at the weekend farmer’s market.
their teacher said they were in the 8th grade
where everyone is asked
to contribute something to the community.
these girls chose to offer what they had to give –
their natural gift of music.
they had to organize the day
by asking permission to play somewhere
finding transportation
planning what to wear
being on time
introducing themselves
and
remembering their music and instruments.
all of the money they earned
from passers-by
went to a local charity.
it was a beautiful lesson.
