Here's some glowing words from a Dad who recently attended Mich Mazzocco's (pictured right) Kindermusik Village class in Egham with son Harrison. Thank you for sharing! The Long Road to Wembley - A father’s tale of music lessons with my son
With visions of double platinum albums, stadium gigs and early retirement as my motivation we looked at the options to help develop Harrison's musical ability. We found that we had two possible routes we could follow to start our son on this journey, Monkeymusic or Kindermusik. Now neither of these were going to teach Harrison the chord progression to smoke on the water, but would provide him an opportunity to learn some basic things about music, but also spend some time with his dad. We decided to enrol with Kindermusik for a five week course every Saturday morning (in Egham with Mich). Now, Kindermusik was not what I expected, but it didn't matter as this was quality time with my son that I just never got during the working week. The lessons combine music, movement and help develop a number of skills it even teaches relaxation techniques (which Harrison seemed to enjoy nearly as much as I did!). Of course like any toddler his particular favourite activity was playing with the instruments especially the drums and generally anything that made lots of noise! It was great to watch I just don't get to spend much time with Harrison and seeing him as a confident little toddler made me very very proud indeed.I would really recommend Kindermusik, especially for dads that are looking for something a little different to do with their children. It’s a lot more that just another group session for signing nursery rhymes, and Harrison has really enjoyed the approach that the lessons take. So a great thing to do on Saturday mornings, and as its just Harrison and Daddy we get a chance to play AC/DC
